Ride on Toys

Does the thought of your child on a motorcycle keep you up at nights?  Many of us have older children, and this is a nightmare we commonly have.  But for parents of adventurous toddlers, it can be a dream with the Step 2 Motorcycle.  A fun and basic model, the Motorcycle is the perfect way to introduce your child to the wonderful world of toddler ride on toys.

Sometimes it is hard to find one your child will love, that will keep him safe, and that won’t go too fast.  Some models have preset speeds that may be too much for beginners to handle, especially when they are learning to steer at the same time.  We’ve had kids motoring along on some of these toys and they tend to steer where they look, which can spell danger for onlookers and parents.  The Step 2 Motorcycle is ideal for beginners (age 2 to 3) because it is push-powered.  Your child controls how fast he goes, and this allows him to go slowly at first as he works on his balance, steering, and navigating skills.  Plus, it gives him a whole lot of exercise.  Anything that can burn off some toddler energy is a winner in our book.  Easy-grip handles help with steering, and a wide wheel base and tires help toddler learn to balance.  Add a solid molded plastic body, and you’ve got a durable, rugged toy that will last and last.  Step 2 toddler riding toys are designed for the needs of children, and the Motorcycle is a great step towards learning how to ride trikes and bikes later on.

While it is always a good idea to supervise, the great thing about the Motorcycle is that toddlers can do it on their own.  If you have a toddler in your life, you know that they love being “grown ups,” they love to say, “I can do it myself.”  And they really can.  The Motorcycle is accessible, and it helps to encourage independence.

This model is as sporty as it is safe.  Our kid testers loved the bold colors – the Motorcycle comes in red, green, or pink- and the realistic details.  There are headlights, taillights, and air intake decals that will add hours to the imaginative fun your child will have.  This Motorcycle looks built for speed, and your child will love having races in his own backyard or driveway.

The Step 2 Motorcycle earned the Canadian Toy Testing Council’s two-star rating for excellent play value.  When we spend our hard-earned money on toddler ride on toys, we expect our children to get the most out of them.  Physical activity, creative play, fun, excitement, durability, safety – all of these are necessary, and all of them can be found in the Motorcycle.  The Motorcycle is also one of the most reasonably priced ride ons that we’ve reviewed.  Buying one for your child won’t break the bank, and yet it is a high quality toy that you can feel good about giving.
