Step 2 created the Roller Coaster for children aged two through five with gentle slopes and cute little car. These award-winning toys were so popular that Step 2 created the Extreme Coaster so a wider range of children could enjoy the fun. A larger format and increased weight capacity lets older children in on the fun too. The Step 2 Extreme Coaster can hold up to 200 pounds. With fun new colors and slightly steeper slopes, this toy is still great for younger children but fun for older ones as well. Few toddler riding toys have such a big range of appeal. Three year olds to twelve year olds will love this backyard mini theme park.

How does the Step 2 Extreme Coaster work? You set up the track, which is made of high-quality molded plastic pieces that easily fit together. The car’s wheels fit perfectly onto the track and roll easily up the track. The Extreme Coaster’s innovative design features steps in between the tracks so your child can easily go up and down, keeping the fun going for hours. To keep your child in the car, the Extreme Coaster’s car has handgrips for added safety. The best part of this toy is that it doesn’t need batteries. You don’t have to worry about having to stop in the middle of the fun to recharge or about running up your electricity bill. The Extreme Coaster is kid- and gravity-powered so the fun lasts as long as the daylight does.

You may be concerned about your little ones – and we don’t blame you. A toy that is appropriate for preteens can’t be safe for a toddler, can it? It features an easy-entry car which keeps feet inside. There is no danger of them getting caught or dragging on the track or ground. The car and track are also durable and sturdy so you can feel comfortable while your child plays. The smooth edges also prevent scratches and cuts that could sideline your child.

When you have children, you have to budget your money carefully. When it comes to larger products, like toddler ride on toys, it is important to consider the cost, how much use your children will get out of them, how long they will last, and how much your children will enjoy it. The Extreme Coaster is a good buy because it suits a wide range of children, is reasonably priced, and its solid construction will last for years, even when subjected to rough usage. The Extreme Coaster brings a little piece of the amusement park to your backyard, and we promise that the lines are very short.

They need to balance a child’s need for fun and a parent’s demand for safe construction and features. The Radio Flyer Classic Red Car does this, and manages to look pretty good at the same time. We can’t shroud our children with bubble wrap to protect them from bumps and bruises, but we can provide toys that will prevent accidents and keep them safe. The Classic Red Car is constructed of high quality wood for the sides and hard molded plastic for the hood and front of the car. All of the edges are rounded and smooth to prevent scratches and scrapes. The Classic car also has a wide wheel base and low profile design for added stability: you don’t to worry about your toddler taking a tumble when he goes down a slight incline or around a corner.

We love toddler riding toys that encourage physical activity. When children are young, they love to move their bodies. Toddlers have been known to run around in circles just for the fun of it. The Red Car has foot-to-floor pushing, which means it is powered by the best energy of all: your child. This is great too because it allows your child to control his speed. Many toddler ride on toys have two preset speeds, and these may be too fast for your younger toddler. With the Classic Red Car, he can go slowly at the beginning to get the hang of it, and steadily increase his speed as he advances.

The Radio Flyer Classic Red Car is one of the best toy buys you can get. Because of its sturdy design and construction, you will not have to replace it in a few months. This toy will last for years. You can even pass it on to younger toddler friends. Another great feature is that it is appropriate for your toddler at different stages of development. The Classic Red Car is made for children aged 18 months to four years, and for the younger set, there is a push bar on the back. This can be used for a walker when toddlers are still perfecting this skill. It is also handy for parents when their child needs a push while riding. Other fun features include a honking horn (that is sure to be a hit), a working steering wheel, and wheels that turn 360 degrees. This allows the car to make tight turns and even circles.

It has all the quality we expect and love from Radio Flyer. An excellent addition to any family, the Classic Red Car will give your child hours and hours of fun and adventure.

The Radio Flyer Inchworm is a unique ride toy shaped like an adorable inchworm. Measuring 34 x 15 x 6.5 inches, it is the perfect size for little legs to climb on and off. They can simply step onto the integrated footrest and hop on for a fun-filled ride. Children can bounce to make the inchworm inch along. This offers an up and down ride as well as a linear one for twice the fun. Children can also push the Inchworm with their feet for even more options and more types of movement. There is a comfortable seat which looks like a saddle and a heart-shaped handle that are easy for small hands to grasp. The Inchworm has four large molded plastic wheels and a plastic body to keep it looking like new for years. It is also extremely durable, meant to take the rough handling of toddlers. Toddler riding toys should be built to last, and the Inchworm performs like new time and time again.

One of the things we like best about the Radio Flyer Inchworm is how cute it is. Besides being dependable, sturdy, and safe, the Inchworm is easy on the eyes. Bright green and red colors, a fun little beanie hat, and a great big smile worm their way into our hearts and into your child’s imagination. He’ll have adventure after adventure, learning to use both his body and his mind during playtime. The best toddler ride on toys we see are those that encourage our children to get the most out of playtime Whether he’s riding his might steed to rescue someone or taking a ride off into the sunset, he and the Inchworm will be fast friends.

The Radio Flyer Inchworm is designed for children aged two to five and under fifty pounds. It is great for children who are not ready to pedal a tricycle and older toddlers who are not ready for bikes. It still provides a ton of healthy exercise while offering a great sensory experience. This toy is perfect for boys and girls, three year olds and five year olds, adventurous kids and those who want to take a mellow ride. Your child will love the friendly face, and you’ll love the friendly price.

Kids love them, and the Inchworm is sure to be a long-lasting favorite.

Winner of Parents Magazine’s Best Toy of the Year Award, the Roadster is one of the most well-made models that we’ve come across in our extensive testing.  Time after time, kids tell us that this is the toy they want and love.  It features foot-to-floor pushing, which simply means that it is kid-powered.  There are three huge advantages to foot-to-floor pushing:  one, you do not have to worry about running the battery down or charging it back up, and two, your child gets the physical activity he needs.  Let’s add one more:  he can work off some of that enormous toddler energy.  It also means that he controls the speed.  Instead of going at a pre-set speed like electric ride on toys, he can go as fast or as slow as he wants.

The Little Red Roadster has a non-slip seat so your child stays in control and so many accidents are prevented.  Another great feature – and necessary in a toddler ride on toy – is that it rides low and has a wide body so that it does not tip over.  On some other toys, going around a corner is a dangerous feat; you can feel safe knowing your child is on a Radio Flyer toy.  The all-steel body can take years of toddler abuse and still look its best.  Besides being strong to keep your child safe, it is durable enough to last.  The wheels are steel with rubber tires, providing a smooth ride.  You don’t have to worry about little bumps, or about the wheels falling off.

The Radio Flyer Little Red Roadster is loaded with features kids love, from the honking horn to the working steering wheel.  They’ll feel like little adults as they drive their cars around the yard.  And let’s not forget our favorite feature of all: the bright, bold, distinctive Radio Flyer red of the body.  This is a head-turning little vehicle!  Many toddler riding toys are designed for older toddlers, leaving the littlest ones out of the fun.  The Radio Flyer Little Red Roadster is made for children aged one to four.  Your little one can grow with the Red Roadster, increasing his skills and proficiency as he gets older.  It is a toy that he will not soon outgrow.

Radio Flyer products have been a part of childhood since their first toy came out in 1917.  They have built a reputation over 92 years of exceptional quality and adherence to the highest standards.  These toys are not just beautiful pieces to look at: they are tough, sturdy, safe toys to be played with and enjoyed.  You won’t be able to get your toddler off the Little Red Roadster.

The Scooter is perfect for rough and tough toddlers.  And what toddler is not a hard little worker?  They take their play very seriously, and this toddler toy can keep up.  It has the quality design and materials we’ve come to expect from Radio Flyer.  The scooter is made of steel, so it will last through bumps, crashes, jumps, and anything else kids will think to do to it or with it.  It also has a wide wooden platform with a no-slip, gripping tread.  This will provide a safe place for your toddler to push off from; he won’t slide off and injure himself but will stay firmly in control.  The Scooter has solid rubber wheels that give it a nice, smooth ride and help your child balance.  The handlebars also help: they are grooved so children can get a firm grip even if their hands are little.

When you buy toddler riding toys, it’s nice when they are able to keep your child’s interest for more than a day.  The Radio Flyer Little Red Scooter provides a great challenge to beginners – they will learn how to balance, steer, push off, speed up, slow down, and do more than one of these at a time!  When your child is older, he’ll love to increase his speed, race with his friends, and perfect his skills.  Whatever stage your child is at, the Scooter lets him get all the physical activity he needs and wants in a fun, fast way.  You won’t have to replace the Scooter as your child grows because it grows right with him.  The handlebars may be easily adjusted as your child gets bigger.  You can also adjust it to accommodate different sized sibling or friends.

We couldn’t write about Radio Flyer toys without talking about their appearance.  These toddler ride on toys are some of the most beautiful we’ve seen.  From the shiny, distinctive red color to the sporty handlebar tassels, the Radio Flyer Little Red Scooter is as eye-catching as it is fun.  A working bell and a Radio Flyer plate complete the package.  Now onto one of our major concerns as parents: cost.  After safety, cost is the biggest priority.  The Little Scooter is a durable toy and it is reasonably priced, especially when you consider that it will last for years, through multiple children, and through much rough use while providing entertainment, exercise, and fresh air. This is a quality toy that you can provide for your children without breaking the bank.

Pressing pony’s left ear enables galloping noises to sound, while pressing the right ear will spout off with an assortment of snorting and whinnying sounds.  The tail on Giddyup N’ Go Pony swings back and forth as your child is riding along, just like a real pony’s tail would.  The handlebars on this toy are conveniently located on either side of the pony’s head to make gripping and steering easier.  The pony’s head turns to and fro as the handlebars are steered in either direction.  The steering radius is a very well controlled four feet so that not too much motion can be triggered.

This ride on horse toy is great for play inside or outside, as the pony’s legs move well on grass as well as smoother surfaces.  Safety brakes are another good feature of this toy, and they are activated whenever the seat is continuously held down.  Giddyup N’ Go Pony was an extremely popular toy during our staff’s testing sessions.  The kids thought this was just the best; it is so lifelike.  The recommended ages for this toy pony are from 3 years to 8 years.  Its mechanisms require three “AA” batteries which are included with the toy.  It is weighted to hold up to 150 pounds.

Riding toys like this little pony give all kinds of room to a child’s imagination.  With the pony actually moving, galloping along, the countryside can float by your little one’s eyes as he/she dreams of the adventures they are taking.

Giddyup N’ Go Pony has a permanently placed saddle and adjustable “stirrups” (otherwise known as foot rests) so they can adjust to your child’s needs.  During the testing session, the stirrups were adjusted many times to fit each different child just right.  They also provide rubber grips which help the child’s feet stay attached.  This pony’s hooves have hidden wheels and that’s what makes the little guy go when children bounce on him.  There is a knob on the right handlebar that can be used to loosen the wheels or tighten them if needed.

Adult supervision is a necessity for this or any other toy, especially until you know how your child is going to respond to it.  Because this little pony actually moves, it would be fairly easy for pony and child to go galloping down the street before you realized it.  Keep a watchful eye.  Also, it is recommended that a helmet be worn for any type of toy that involves transportation movement.

Step 2 makes some of the best toddler ride on toys and playsets that we’ve seen; we love the fun that these toys bring to little children, the accessibility, the sturdy design, and the kid-friendly features. The Coaster has a 10-foot long track made of interlocking pieces. This is a huge bonus for parents – assembly is quick as you just lock the pieces together. There is a gentle decline at the start of the track and another dip near the end. Your child won’t be hanging upside down or screeching around corners – for which we can breathe a big sigh of relief – but she’ll be entertained and thrilled by the ups and downs as she glides on the fun yellow car.

Let’s talk safety. When we have children test toddler riding toys for us, we never put them on something that we wouldn’t put our own children on. Many of our own children love to test ride ons. We know that safety is the primary concern of every parent, and the Step 2 Up and Down Roller Coaster is made fist and foremost to be safe. It is fun, yes. It is bright and colorful, yes. But most importantly, it is a toy that you don’t have to worry about. The Coaster is made of molded plastic which is extremely durable and strong. The smooth edges prevent cuts and scrapes, and the material can take being jumped on, kicked, climbed on, and used day after day after day. The Coaster has a recessed retainer wall at the top so when your child mounts the car, it does not start rolling. The car will go when she’s ready. Two non-slip steps allow easy access to the car from either side of the track. The car itself has a high back, a secure handle, and footrest to keep every body part safe and intact.

Can you still use the Step 2 Coaster if you don’t have a big yard? Many of us don’t have sprawling lawns, and that’s ok. Toddler ride on toys should be versatile enough to accommodate both child and parent. The Coaster’s individual parts can also be used for big fun. This is great for small yards and even to keep fun going in the winter. Set up one section of the Coaster in the living room, and you still have a fun toy. You can use the car as a regular ride on toy if you want. Toddlers will also use the track for rolling balls or other toys. It could be a fun walkway for stuffed buddies or dolls. Don’t worry; toddlers are the most creative people we know. They’ll find tons of ways to have fun with the Step 2 Up and Down Roller Coaster.

Diego is the cousin of super explorer Dora and star of his own series, Go, Diego, Go. He rescues animals in need while teaching children to love the natural world. Your child can see more of the natural world on his very own Power Wheels Diego Lil Quad as he turns the backyard into a jungle where baby marmasets need help or sloths could use a hand. Toddler ride on toys should be about more than just a way to get from one end of the driveway or lawn to the other; they should help children build imagination. The Diego Lil Quad will do this and then some. The six bolt rechargeable battery provides plenty of speed for a toddler – don’t worry, parents, it is only two miles per hour. This is enough for them but still comfortable for you! This toy is designed for young toddlers, and safety is a primary concern. The low, wide construction will be stable enough for even unsteady toddlers to stay on. Some toddler ride on toys have narrow wheel bases which make them unstable. The Lil Quad’s design will cut down on the thumps and bumps of life.

The Power Wheels Diego Lil Quad is very accessible for small children. A simple push-button allows them to stop and go when they want. Toddlers want to do everything on their own, and the Lil Quad allows them to do this. They can get on and off by themselves, with the aid of built-in footrests as wells as the small compact size of the toy. Who wants to take their mom on an animal-rescuing adventure? While you watch from the sidelines, your child can handle the Quad on his own, which is perfect for encouraging independent play.

As we’ve said, looks don’t count for everything, but there’s nothing wrong with a cute vehicle. And this is it. The Power Wheels Diego Lil Quad has fun Diego graphics and bold, bright colors. It looks like a miniature utility vehicle; you can easily picture this blazing through the jungle or forest. There is also a small cargo rack on the back so your child can rescue stuffed animals and bring them to safety.

The Diego Lil Quad runs on hard surfaces, including grass and dirt, expanding the options of where your child can play. Whether it’s the backyard or the driveway, he’ll have a blast. The Lil Quad holds up to forty pounds and is made from high quality hardened plastic so it will last for years and still look new. This is a toy that your child will treasure for a long while.

Fisher Price’s line of toddler ride on toys is exciting to us because they are so kid-friendly. Toddlers are fun-loving, but they are also fiercely independent. They want to do things for themselves, and the Power Wheels Batman Lil Quad is perfect because they can operate it on their own. A push-button on the handlebar makes starting and stopping easy. This Lil Quad is the perfect size for little legs, and the built-in footrests will keep them comfortable. The six volt battery provides enough speed for your little Caped Crusader. The Lil Quad reaches speeds of up to two miles per hour, which is enough to thrill your child but not too much for you to keep up with. Knowing you can reach your child if you have to is very comforting. Toys need to be fun, but they also need to be safe. You can trust this toy with your precious cargo. The durable molded plastic body will stand up to rough usage, and the wide, low design will prevent spills and falls. Another benefit of the rugged materials is that they’ll look like new for years. Simply wipe the dirt away, and it looks perfect.

The Power Wheels Batman Lil Quad has a utility rack on the back, which instantly adds a ton of adventure and chances for creative play. Maybe your child could carry his Batman action figure with him, or maybe he needs a snack after a busy day of saving the city. Either way, the utility rack will give him somewhere to put it. We love toddler ride on toys that are sturdy and useable. The Lil Quad is definitely both. Your toddler can use it on dirt, grass, pavement, and other hard surfaces. While other kids are stuck on the sidewalk with their trikes and quads, your child can explore the grass, backyard, and dirt trails. This quad, above all, is accessible. Your child can hop on and go.

When you have a small child, finding appropriate ride on toys can be difficult. Many are too big and too fast for younger toddlers. It is specifically designed for children as young as twelve months, who are adventurous and need a toy that works for them. It holds up to 40 pounds, so he can even grow into it. From beginners who are learning how to sit and hold the handlebars to old pros who race around the yard, the Lil Quad is a great tool for fun and excitement. The Batman Lil Quad will be there whenever your child sees the Bat signal and needs to rush out and be a hero.
