Ride on Toys

The Giddyup N’ Go Pony may be the most realistic riding horse toy outside of the real thing.  As the child bounces up and down on the pony, the pony’s legs really move and the child can really and truly go for a ride!  It is great fun and great exercise rolled into one.  Of all the ride on horse toys available, this one has all the bells and whistles that will make it seem the most real to your child as experienced during our testing sessions.

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.
