The Radio Flyer Horse – Hi-Yo Silver, Away!

Tina — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 21:58:35 +0000

Remember that great show from years ago, The Lone Ranger? The only surviving ambushed Ranger, his trusted friend Tonto, and their dedicated horses Silver and Scout manned the West for years, maintaining justice for all. Well just think, your kids can do the same thing, right in the comfort of your own home, with their very own Radio Flyer Horse.

Kids love horses and ponies and the Lone Ranger had quite a bond with his beautiful horse Silver, as did Tonto with his horse Scout. The two of them trusted one another and got through many tough times together. Your kids will enjoy the same thing with this classic spring horse as their imaginations kick into high gear. This great ride will inspire much creative thought and fantasy time.

The Radio Flyer Horse is a great ride on toy that will encourage independent play. This is a very important stage of play for children. Playing independently is the perfect way for your kids to explore the environment around them at their own speed. They’ll begin to recognize and control their own emotions and understand and express their thoughts through the creativity that this ride will inspire.

The Radio Flyer Horse is an awesome and classic looking spring horse. He may not be white but he still has very realistic detailing that makes it look as close to the real thing as you’ll get in a toy. This ride neighs like a real horse and makes cool clip-clop noises. It even plays some songs and has a real mane and tail so your kids will feel like they’re petting a real horse.

I love the fact that this horse is built with a very sturdy and extra wide steel frame. The width keeps it from tipping easily and adds a great safety feature. All of the springs are covered with removable felt wraps which prevents those little fingers from getting pinched.

The Radio Flyer Horse is a great way for the younger kids to burn off some excess energy in a very safe and fun way. This toy will last for several years as your kids continue to grow. So grab a cowboy hat, a pair of chaps, and Ride ‘Em Kemo Sabe! And what the heck, grab a mask too because the Lone Ranger rides again, in the form of your child!

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

Tina — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:17:09 +0000

Did you just buy your child a new pedal ride on toy but are discouraged because they aren’t interested in riding it? This is relatively common and happens to many children. If your child refuses to pedal by making no attempt at all or makes just a half hearted attempt then you may have just a learning curve that needs to be crossed. It’s nothing to get alarmed about.

Some children are intimidated by the feel of the pedal against their foot or are scared by the whole riding process. Try putting their feet on the pedals while you push them around on the toy. Once they see how much fun it is and feel how the pedals work, most children will make the effort to start pedaling on their own.

Let them get the feel of moving the pedal both forward and backward. If they’re still a little scared once they start riding on their own, you can walk (or run!) alongside them until they’re completely comfortable.

Pedal ride on toys come in many different styles. You may have bought a new tricycle, a fire truck, or a toddler bike with training wheels. Whether your child is 2, 3 4 or 5, their physical and neurological development can vary greatly depending on the individual child.

Some kids are ready for pedal toys at an early age and some are not. If you try these suggestions and your child is still having some trouble you might want give them a little more time. They may need to mature a little more both physically and neurologically in order to feel comfortable with the toy.

In the meantime, you may want to consider some other options besides the pedal ride on toys. Wagons and ride on cars like the Cozy Coupe may be more appropriate for your children at this particular time. Just park the pedal ride for a little while and don’t worry because they’ll get the hang of all that pedaling before you know it!

7 Important Scooter Safety Tips For Your Children

Tina — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 21:03:07 +0000

Scooters are very popular ride on toys for children but just like all toys they don’t come without their dangers if they’re not operated correctly. Before buying your kids a shiny new ride it is beneficial to all if you review some of the most important scooter safety measures that will help keep your little ones as safe as possible.

1. It’s important that the scooter is age appropriate for your child. If it’s too large for the child they will have trouble operating it which could cause them to become frustrated or to tip and fall off. For very young children you may want to consider a three wheeled scooter that will provide extra balance while they’re learning how to ride. Adhere to manufacturer age recommendations for the motorized rides.

2. Safety gear is always recommended for children and is important to scooter safety. A helmet is the most important component because scooters can tip and you want to be sure that your little one’s head is safe. Elbow and knee pads are also wise choices.

3. Proper shoes should be worn while riding a scooter. Sneakers are the most recommended choice. Sandals and flip flops may upset a rider’s balance and little toes and feet may get injured if your child has to hop off quickly.

4. Scooters should always be ridden away from moving vehicles and pedestrians. Set up guidelines with your children by reviewing your safety concerns and making them aware of how important it is that they follow your scooter safety rules.

5. Uneven ground surfaces can make dangerous riding conditions. The most frequently seen injuries from scooters occur to the upper body. This happens when children tip forward over the handles of their scooter and can be caused when the front wheel is stopped by something as small as a bump, some sand, or a large piece of gravel. This can also be caused by children leaning too far forward on their ride. Teach your children how to look for and avoid unsafe conditions.

6. Tuck in any loose clothing, remove scarves and long jewelry, and tie long hair into pony tails before riding. These are all items that can get wrapped around the wheels or other mechanical parts and cause an injury.

7. Finally, a parent must make sure that their child’s scooter is properly assembled before they ride on it. Read the instructions before beginning and tighten secure all nuts, bolts, and screws.

Scooters are loads of fun and will entertain your kids for hours at a time. A little bit of proper preventative scooter safety measures will ensure that your kids get the most enjoyment as possible from their favorite rides. If you’d like to bump up your kids fun level a little bit then I recommend that you read Scooter Games, a great book that introduces over 100 scooter games that will challenge and entice your kids.

Written by Tony Larsen, a physical education teacher, this book is curriculum drive for a school atmosphere but it has plenty of awesome games that are perfect for your home playing field. Some of our favorites are Fun Bones, the scooter version of the Hokey-Pokey, and the Scooter-Tug-Of-War which is one of the kids favorite summer party games. Also included in the book are some great tips on scooter safety measures!

Dora Power Wheels – The Ever Popular Dora Has Her Own Set of Wheels

Tina — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 20:31:13 +0000

Dora the Explorer, the very popular Nickelodeon character, is here to please in her very own Dora Power Wheels. Always off on an adventure, Dora not only loves her family but she loves those around her. Your kids will love riding this cute and sporty looking 4-wheeler.

The Fisher-Price Dora Lil Quad is a 6v battery operated ride on toy that is specifically designed for younger children aged 1 to 3. It’s designed to travel at a high speed of only 2 mph so it’s very safe for younger children who are still learning how to steer.

Dora’s wheels have a bright, colorful, and cheerful design. The cargo rack on the back will hold your child’s map so they can navigate the backyard on their adventure. This is a very toddler friendly toy with its very large push button on the handlebar. This makes stopping and going a breeze.

The Dora Power Wheels will become an important part of your child’s development by encouraging the following:

Operating the vehicle by making it stop and go encourages hand to eye coordination. They have to learn how to push the stop and go button to be able to move around. Learning how to steer while they are moving will increase their fine motor skills. Since this is only a 6v vehicle, they’ll never be traveling at too high of a speed to lose control of the vehicle. It also travels at a slow enough speed for you to be able to walk alongside and encourage them to steer while they’re getting the hang of it.

The Dora Power Wheels will encourage independent play and imagination. Your child can draw their own map of your backyard and set off on their very own adventure. Just think of the obstacles that they’ll come up against and the new people they may meet along the way. Their imaginations are free to run wild. They can even think of how to maneuver their vehicle through the rain, wind, and snow if they would like.

Riding on either the Dora ‘Lil Quad or the Diego ‘Lil Quad will increase your child’s observation skills. They’ll learn how to look ahead for anything that may be in their way. Maybe they’ll look up in the trees for Boots the Monkey or behind the bushes for Swiper the Fox. Any way you look at it, they’ll be improving those much needed skills.

The Dora the Explorer Power Wheels are great ride on toys for toddlers that will allow them to enjoy the great outdoors while gaining important developmental skills.

The Radio Flyer Fold 2 Go Trike : Experience The Convenience

Tina — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 19:58:26 +0000

The Radio Flyer Fold 2 Go Trike is one of the most convenient trikes that you can buy for your children. I don’t know about you but anything that spells convenient is right up my alley and something I’m always game to explore.

I think that all children should get the opportunity to own and ride their own trike. The Radio Flyer Fold 2 Go Trike is the perfect ride that you can conveniently transport in back of your car. Not only is it easy to transport but it’s also easy to store. The fact that it folds is what sets it apart from all the others.

While Radio Flyer is very well known for its Red Flyer Wagon, they also have an impeccable history of producing their very own variety of Radio Flyer Bikes. Quality is never sacrificed with this company and I love the fact that this little trike is so very hip and stylish looking while still maintaining a high quality and durability standard.

Here are a few reasons why this cool trike has won the National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval, NBC Today’s Toy Test Award, and the Great American Toy Test Award:

The Radio Flyer Fold 2 Go Trike will arrive on your doorstep fully assembled and ready for your kids to just jump on and go. There’s no need to get out the tools, read any type of instructions, and get frustrated trying to put it together.

Like other Radio Flyer bikes, the fold 2 go model is made with a very sturdy and durable steel frame that can withstand the toughest of riders. The wheels are steel too and the tires are made from real rubber for a smoother ride.

This trike has a little yellow basket on the back that’s perfect for storing toys, stuffed animals, or drink bottles. This is perfect when you’re taking the trike with you to the park because you won’t need that extra bag. You can just put your supplies or extra toys in the basket.

And finally, the most convenient thing about this trike, for us parents that is, is the fact that it folds up for easy storage and easy transport. If you’re going to the park or camping for the weekend then you can store fold this trike and put it in the car very easily. You can also store it very easily when not in use as you can see in the above picture. This is a mighty fine plus for this adorable bike.

The Radio Flyer Fold 2 Go Trike is a very reasonably priced trike for kids who are just learning to ride. It has a very low center of gravity so kids can get on and off very easily. It comes in very cool colors – red, pink, and purple in fact. There will be one for everyone in your house.

I was reading the reviews over at Amazon earlier today and I have to say that I was a little disappointed by what some of the people had to say. It looks like the biggest complaint was that this trike tends to tip over easily. I’m going to go out on a limb here by telling you that I’m not sure if that is necessarily true.

One of the kids in our neighborhood has a pink Fold 2 Go that she got last summer. I spoke to her mom before posting this and mom just loves this trike. Her response to this complaint was that any trike will tip if turned too sharply and that they love this bike and the way it rides.

My advice to you is to read all of the reviews on the Radio Flyer Fold 2 Go Trike and make a decision based on what you are personally comfortable with. If you decide that this is the trike for your child then stand back and watch them have a blast this summer. They’ll gain some independence, more confidence, and get some great exercise while you’re enjoying the convenience of not having to assemble the bike and having one that’s easy to store and transport.

P.S. Check out Flynn while he enjoys his Radio Flyer Fold 2 Go Trike!

Childrens Ride on Toys Help Kids Reach Important Developmental Milestones

Tina — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 19:22:51 +0000

Terrible twos, trying threes, fiendish fours? The names might be less than flattering, but the developmental stages are real. As parents, it’s up to us to make sure our little ones get the mental and physical stimulation they need to grow and advance to the next stage.

Not surprisingly, hours spent in front of a television set do little to improve your child’s skills, but you can foster development with carefully selected activities. Childrens ride on toys fit the bill perfectly. They’re not only great fun, they’re also a wonderful way to help your child flourish.

Toddlers are making huge intellectual strides, and keeping their minds busy will not only help them advance, but it will help prevent mom from losing her hair. One way to manage those terrible twos is by providing your little one with a ride on toy that encourages role playing and independent play, or that helps your child explore her surroundings. Challenge your little angel with some interactive play, and the terrible twos will be a thing of the past.

Preschoolers are learning balance and coordination. They’re learning to ride tricycles and to play nicely with other children. Childrens ride on toys like trikes and Big Wheels give developing muscles just enough room to learn while still providing the safety of three wheels. Riding a bike like a “big boy” will help your little man build the confidence he needs to tackle tougher tasks later in life.

Kids of all ages and with all styles of ride on toys enjoy the benefit of honing their fine motor skills and hand to eye coordination. Learning how far you have to turn the steering wheel to make the corner at the end of the block, or just how much pressure you have to apply to the breaks to do that cool skidding half-turn are important lessons to growing muscles. Imagining you’re chasing the bad guy while doing it is great for building up those creative brain cells, too.

We’re living in a sedentary world where we spend hours in front of the television or computer screen. By encouraging active, imaginative play that sparks your child’s creativity and engages their imagination and cognitive thinking skills, you’re helping your little one meet those important developmental milestones that just aren’t being met by passive entertainment. Ride on toys engage the entire child, from their head to their toes. Best of all, they won’t even know it’s good for them.

If you’d like to take learning about childrens ride on toys (or any type of toys) a little bit further then I recommend this book by Marianne Szymanski. It’s easy to read, it’s very straightforward, and it discusses a wide variety of toys for kids of all ages. It has lots of practical tips and even has mini worksheets to help you narrow down your toy purchases.

All Terrain Wagons – The Multiple Use Wagons That Perform

Tina — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 19:13:52 +0000

All terrain wagons are incredible ride on toys that can withstand a wide variety of terrains. Whether it is dirt, sand, grass, or pavement, these wagons can handle them all. If you want a red wagon that will perform by being able to go anywhere that your kids want then an all terrain ride is the way to go.

The most notable feature of these wagons is their large, over-sized, and air filled tires. These tires are made to provide a smooth and quiet ride while handling any terrain that they encounter without spinning, slipping, or sliding.

All terrain wagons are also made with a heavy duty and durable construction. Many of them have wooden stake sides that slide on and off. With the sides on you can not only haul your kids but you can take a big load of “stuff” to go with you.

I love loading up these wagons with the kids and some picnic supplies and heading out for a couple of hours of fun and relaxation. Last year we were able to rent a wagon from the hotel that we stayed at on our beach vacation. It was so convenient to load it up with Anna and all her beach toys. The oversized wheels made the wagon very easy to pull through the sand.

Two of the most popular all terrain wagons are made by Radio Flyer. The All Terrain Wagon and the All Terrain Cargo Wagon offer some features that make them stand out from the others:

The no-pinch ball joint keeps your little ones from pinching their fingers between the handle and the undercarriage.

The controlled radius makes turning easy and prevents easy tipping.

The natural wood stake sides are very smooth for kids hands and have a sanded and non-toxic finish that prevents slivers and scratches.

The rounded metal edges also prevent any scratches and are safe for little fingers to touch. The handles fold under the wagon for easy transportation.

The all terrain wagons are versatile enough for be used for just about any purpose that you can imagine. They’re durable and dependable and will be a part of your family for years and even generations. Take it on a walk, to the beach, or around the neighborhood and enjoy a smooth and outstanding ride.

Want to share some thoughts about your wagon? Let us know how you use it and where it travels with you.

P.S. Check out how much room these wagons have!

You can be sure that your kids will enjoy a stylish ride of their own just as much as you and the Power Wheels Ford Mustang is a child’s ideal summer ride. Not only will your kids be cruising around enjoying the fresh air blowing through their hair but they’ll be doing it in style.

It’s powered by a 12v battery and operates in 2 speeds forward and 1 speed in reverse. Your kids can travel forward at speeds of 2.5 mph and 5 mph, both safe speeds for children to handle. The high speed lock out allows younger children to only be able to travel at the slower speed.

The Ford Mustang is available in 2 amazing colors, both flashy red and fashionable pink, so no matter what your child’s individual personality, there’s a ride for everyone.

The newly redesigned front end resembles both the current Shelby cars and the 2005 GTR. The rims and the spoiler also have a new design with chrome accessories.

The interior resembles the leather packages of the limited edition Shelby’s and the dash is all decked out with a pretend key, engine sounds, beeping horn, lights, and revving gauges.

Add the sound box that has two pre-recorded songs and the interior cup holders and your kids will all set to ride for hours.

The adjustable seat makes it easy for little ones to reach the pedals. The battery charge indicator on the dash will let them know when it’s time to “refuel” and the reflective mirrors won’t let them miss any view.

The Power Wheels Ford Mustang comes complete with the Power Lock® Brake System. This system stops the vehicle when your child removes their foot from the accelerator. There’s no need to worry about your child having to learn how to accelerate and brake because the braking is always automatic.

The Power Wheels Ford Mustang is stylish, it’s fun, and it’s built to last. Power Wheels toys takes pride in all of their ride on toys and the Mustang is an award winning style. Made to run on both hard surfaces and on the grass, your kids will have the time of your life in their new convertible.

The Bumble Bee Buggy by Little Tikes

Tina — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 19:01:46 +0000

The Little Tikes Bumble Bee Buggy is one of the most adorable little rides for toddlers. Not only is the yellow and black body style incredibly cute but the smiling face on this little bug gives it a personality of its own.

The Bumble Bee Buggy is a wonderful foot to floor toy that makes a great toddler and infant toy. Both foot to floor toys like the Bumble Bee and the Cozy Coupe, and push ride on toys like the Turtle, are very developmentally stimulating for small children and will benefit them is a few different ways:

Your little one will be strengthening their large muscle groups as they scoot around in their very own little bug. This will help them to improve their gross motor skills and to strengthen their legs for better walking skills.

They’ll become more independent and self confident as they maneuver all around the house or the yard. You’ll see them begin to develop better balance and coordination.

You’ll also see a lot of hand to eye movements when your kids turn the steering wheel and play with the buttons on the dash. All of these movements improve the important fine motor skills.

The Bumble Bee Buggy is also fun and easy to ride. Your little one will find it very easy to climb in and out of with no doors to open and close.

The caster wheels make this ride very easy to maneuver and it rides very smoothly on hard surfaces and turns very easily. If anyone gets in the way all your child has to do is beep the horn to get the culprit to move out of the way!

Want to make an afternoon ride on the Bumble Bee educational and fun all in one shot? You can increase your child’s vocabulary by incorporating words like yellow, bee, buzz, eye, nose, mouth, and even antenna into your conversations with a visual image to go along with them.

The Little Tikes Bumble Bee Buggy is one of the cutest ride on toys for toddlers that you can find. Just look at those antenna – who can resist them? There’s one thing that I noticed with some of the younger kids. Some of them are intimidated or just not interested in pushing or scooting themselves around. If this is the case (and your back allows it) you can let them pick up their feet while you push them around. I guarantee you it won’t take long before they’re scooting around on their own! How long did it take your child to buzz around all by themselves?

P.S. Don’t worry about putting the Bumble Bee Buggy together…here’s a video to help you every step of the way.
