The Land Sailor is one incredible three-wheeled ride on toy that harnesses the power of the wind to drive it.  It has a base that is similar to a go kart and a Dacron sail that is just like the sail of a nautical sailboat.  It’s light, it’s small, and it’s perfect for children aged 12 and up.

So what exactly is landsailing?  Well, in a nutshell it’s a sport that’s a combination of both sailing and racing that takes place on land.  The sailor sits on the base and controls the vehicle with their hands and feet.  The land sailor is fueled by the wind only and is a really fun sport that has become very popular.  If you’re hooked and your kids are showing an interest then the Land Sailor for children is a great way for them to get started.  Here are some of its best features:

• Your children won’t need any prior sailing or go kart experience to be able to ride the  Land Sailor.  What they will need is just a little bit of training to learn how to operate the vehicle.

• With a little bit of practice your child will learn how to keep the wind to one side or the other of their sail.  They will even be able to maneuver with the wind coming from the back.  They will steer with their feet on the foot bars, they’ll control their speed with the sail control rope, and they’ll be able to stop with the hand brake without fear of tipping.

• The Land Sailer travels at speeds up to 25 mph.  The 35 1/2′ Dacron sail is high enough to harness lots of wind power.  This ride on toy is made for flat surfaces only and you should always remember to use caution in areas with strong winds.  Be sure to listen to local weather forecasts before heading out for the day and teach your kids the importance of safety.

• The 3 wheels are all corrosion resistant with stainless steel bearings and nylon rims.  The front wheel is 12″ in size and the rear are 20″ and are cambered for extra stability.

• Since you may want to travel to different locations to get in some landsailing races, this ride breaks down into 4 sections and comes complete with four 4′ long carry bags that will easily fit in the trunk.  Once you’ve arrived you’ll be able to put it together is quickly and easily.

The Land Sailor is fast but it’s easy to sail.  The front wheel is designed to be able to make 180 degree turns within a 15 foot area.  The seat is ergonomically designed for comfort and will fit just about everyone up to 225 pounds.  This is one cool ride and you’ll be making your child’s day when you give them a gift as special as this one!

I think that one of the most important things about ride on toys is that they’re a toy that can bring a family together during the warm weather months.  Think about it…you can ride bikes together as a family, you can take walks together with the wagons, and you can even bum around on the quads on a warm afternoon.  The five person pedal surrey is a pedal ride that will entertain the family as a whole and take things to a whole different level.

The pedal surrey is frequently seen in resort towns and was originally designed in Saludecio, Italy.  This classy ride seats up to 3 adults and 2 children and is perfect for touring the neighborhood, the park, the beach, or the lake.  What a cool looking ride that will entertain everyone and provide hours of fun together time.  These are a few of its stand out features:

• The five person pedal surrey is a very stable four wheel pedal ride with two individual sets of pedals.  The multi-person pedal power gives this ride some awesome cruising power.  The easy 7 speed gearing package makes it possible to hit the hills with ease.

• The pedal surrey steers like a car with its rack and pinion steering system which guarantees that you’ll have smooth and easy turns.   The two rear drum brakes will always provide gentle and secure stops.

• The basket seat securely holds two smaller children in the front.  If your kids are anything like mine, they always want to ride in the front seat of the car instead of the back.  Well, with the surrey they get the ultimate freedom of safely riding up front where they get the initial view of everything.  They even have their own handlebars to hold on to.  The padded benches seat the adults and the older children.

• The fabric canopy is perfect for protecting riders from both the sun and the rain.  The canopy (and the frame) is available in 3 fun colors – red, blue, and green.  The summery stripes and fringe are the perfect summer decor.

• The frame on the pedal surrey is made with reinforced high-quality tubular steel.  This gives the ride exceptional strength and long lasting durability, ensuring that your surrey will last for generations to come.

• Bumpers and chain guards protect both the vehicle from passersby damage and its riders from possible injury from moving parts.

The five person pedal surrey is one classy ride that the entire family can enjoy.  We’ve been spending a lot of time talking about what types of ride on toys are fun for your children but the surrey is one ride that is fun for the entire family.

Ever ride on a surrey while you were on vacation?  Let us know how much you enjoyed it and how much fun it would be to own one of your own!

1. Pedal Ride On Toys – What To Do If Your Child Won’t Pedal

Did you ever get involved watching the luge competition during the Winter Olympics?  Isn’t it just so cool to watch those riders make it look effortless as they zoom down the mountain and around those curves at speeds that are unimaginable?  At first glance, the Ezy Roller Riding Toy gave me the impression of one of these awesome luges and I couldn’t help but think “WOW! – I wish I had one of these when I was a kid.

What the Ezy Roller really does is combine the control that you get with a bike with the fun of a scooter (and a luge too!) into one very unique childrens ride on toy. The Ezy Roller has no chains to grease, no pedals to turn, and no batteries to charge.  Instead it glides along with the motion that is similar to that of a snake, silently and effortlessly getting your children around town with just some foot movements.

• So how exactly does the Ezy Roller Riding Toy work?  It’s actually pretty simple in the fact they your kids just need to place their feet against the foot pedals and push back and forth using right to left leg movements.

• The movement of the Ezy Roller has been compared to the action and reaction principles of the gondoliers in Venice who make sinus curves in the water.  Now that terminology is a little over my head but what’s it’s done for the Ezy is help it get an award winning patented design for its all steel frame and fork that will last your child a lifetime.  It’s this design that makes this ride on toy so unique and a winner of the Parents’ Choice Recommended Award.

• Children as young as 3 years of age can enjoy this ride and the developmental benefits are many. Powering this ride will work your child’s large muscle groups as they work the foot pedals.  This strengthens their muscles which in turn increases their gross motor skills.  And the stronger they get the faster they’re going to ride, up to an incredible 12 mph.

• Because of the way that your child is positioned on their Ezy and combined with the foot motions, this ride is wonderful for increasing both balance and coordination skills.  Athletically inclined children will have no problem riding and those who are less skilled will easily learn in a very quick time, giving them the confidence and self-esteem that they need to conquer their new toy.  It’s low center of gravity makes tumbles not so rough.

The Ezy Roller Riding Toy can be ridden both indoors and out.  I would suggest using it indoors for only the smaller children.  The older and more advanced your child, the faster they’re going to go.  Riding indoors could be hazardous to your walls and furniture.  Not only is this ride unique but it’s also loads of fun and will last your children for years because it’s extendable for children up to 14 years old (parts included).

Ever seen anything like this before?  Let us know how much your child enjoys his or hers!

P.S. Take a look at the Ezy Roller in action. It reminds me a little bit of the Rip Rider!

The Ezy Roller Riding Toy was designed, developed, tested, and originally only sold in New Zealand. Now available in Australia, the US, and Canada, it’s not only a favorite toy of the Kiwis but of other nationalities too.  Avoid using this toy on slopes because of the speed involved.  You kids will be sure to wear out the hand brakes quickly at that point!
