Ready, Set, Go: Great Ride On Toys for Your Little Mover

Once your little one is mobile, it’s time to think about ride on toys. These types of toys offer a wide range of benefits including helping your child master coordination and balance. Trikes and bikes can also help your child develop independence. But these aren’t the only benefits of ride on toys for your toddler. Here are five great reasons every toddler should have a ride on toy.

The Rocker

For those children that have just reached the walking milestone, rocking ride on toys are an excellent option to help develop hand-eye coordination and balance. Rocking ride on toys allow children to experience independence within a closed environment. Though they may sometimes require help in mounting and dismounting, rocking ride on toys can still provide loads of fun as children explore their ability to begin controlling their environment. And who doesn’t love role playing? Rocking ride on toys allow your little one to experience their first cowboy or cowgirl experience!

The Trike

Trikes are an excellent way to help your kids develop both confidence and balance while learning to be independent. These ride on toys offer stability while also allowing little kids to begin exploring the world around them. The trike bike exists as a wonderful way to introduce your toddler to spatial awareness; your child can begin safely navigating around obstacles and learn to stop before bumping into objects.

The Bike

Once your child has mastered the trike, it’s time to consider upgrading to a bike. Bikes exist as a great exercise in balance. Not only do bikes require balance to mount and dismount, but they also require balance when riding. Bikes offer a fun way to explore the concepts of balance and coordination, whether riding them in the driveway or for longer rides through the neighborhood or through a nearby park.

It’s important for children to exercise! Ride on toys that require pedaling or pushing help your child not only burn calories but also build muscle strength. It’s often a better idea to invest in a ride on toy that is interactive rather than one that is battery powered. In addition to encouraging exercise, ride on toys also promote positive play. On nice days, it’s a great idea to have a ride on toy playdate with other children. This type of playdate provides the opportunity for children to practice sharing as well as learning how to stop and let another child cross a path. In addition, these playdates encourage imaginative play as children can pretend they are race car drivers, policemen (or policewomen), or simply driving to the beach or grandma’s house.

Ride on toys offer your child wonderful opportunities of mobility and choice. As they learn to navigate their environment, both inside and outside, they’ll continue to interactively learn about the world that surrounds them. The great news is that there is a ride on toy for every age and skill level. Parents can begin by purchasing a simple rocking ride on toy, then a trike, and finally a bike when their child is ready for the next level. With so many options available, you’re sure to find something your child will love.
