Motorized toys (power-assisted by battery or electric power) are designed to be used by older kids who can developmentally and physically handle these sorts of toys.Pedal-powered toys (like a bike or trike) are the next step for kids who have mastered balance and are ready for more engagement.Foot-to-floor models are a step up developmentally, in which the toddler moves the vehicle forward learning balance as they propel forward with their own legs.Push ride-ons are great for young toddlers to be pushed by their parents or caregivers.Ride-ons can provide children with a great platform to develop gross and fine motor skills, refine balance, and help with coordination. As little ones are learning to balance, stand up, and eventually walk, ride-on toys can provide endless hours of play for kids. One of the joys of being a parent is watching little ones grow and develop, and gain a sense of independence and freedom as they mature.
