10 surprising benefits of kids ride on cars and toys

If you want a toy that’ll get them away from the TV and exercising out in the fresh air, then our pedal cars and ride ons are the perfect choice. And here are 10 other benefits you may not have realised:

Develops motor skills

Your toddler will have a blast figuring out how to make their scooter move by kicking their feet and while they work on it, they’re also working on their balance. It prepares them for the day when they’ll graduate to a big bike and will need to stay upright on two wheels.

Improves spatial intelligence

Spatial intelligence means tapping into our "mind's eye" to understand shapes, logic, and positioning. Your child will need to use spatial intelligence when controlling their pedal car, making sure to avoid obstacles and knowing when to stop, when to turn and how to stay on track.

Encourages solo play

While pedal cars can be enjoyed by the whole crew, they're also fun when used independently and as your child tinkers with the controls and figures out how to make the car move, he’s learning on his own. This helps him develop an important sense of self that will carry him throughout his childhood.

Encourages group play

At the same time, there are some pedal car models that are best suited for group play. From two-seater trucks to scooter sets, you can find plenty of options for an entire brood to enjoy together! This is a great way to help them learn the art of sharing and taking turns.

Builds self-control

Over time, your child will learn to put their feet out to slow the car and how to make it go faster by shuffling their feet more quickly. This is a fun way to help them learn self-control, as they begin to understand that they have the power to dictate the speed and direction of the toy.

Creates confidence

Do you remember the first time you drove a real car? You were probably nervous at first, but over time, your confidence grew and you mastered the skill. The same goes for your child as they learn to drive their pedal car. While there might be some nerves and apprehension in the beginning, it won't be long before they're zooming all over the house.

Promotes creativity

While it might look like your child is pedalling around the back yard, in his mind, he’s actually on a road heading for adventure. At their core, pedal cars promote creative play and they allow your child to feel responsible and take control of the journey.

Year-round enjoyment

Most modern pedal cars are designed for year-round use and are equally capable of traversing a hot summer pavement or a snowy back yard in winter. They’re an entertainment resource you can depend on long after the swimming pool closes and school is back in session.

Teaches driving skills

A pedal car is a great way to start an early conversation with your child about safe driving. They might only be a few years old, but they can begin learning basic navigation skills, including how to start, stop, turn, reverse and avoid obstacles.

What is a kid’s ride on a toy?

This classic children’s toy can come in many different types, from pedal cars, trucks and scooters to ride on animals and rocking horses. Simply put, a ride on a toy is designed to have your child sit atop or inside and then typically by using foot pedals, they are able to move forward at their own pace.

What are the benefits of a kid’s ride on a toy?

Besides being a fun form of exercise for your child, ride on toys can actually help your little one in an incredible number of ways. Children have powerful imaginations that should be nurtured and as they take their ride on toys on little journeys, they lose themselves in a world they’ve come up with all on their own. With their ride on toy your child will also develop both fine and gross motor skills as they learn to navigate hurdles and problem solve all by themselves.

Watch as their balance and coordination becomes stronger every time they hop on their favourite ride on a toy. Playing in this way also encourages a sense of independence and the more they ride, the stronger their confidence and sense of self will become. Better yet, a lot of these skills they are learning are transferable, making things easier for them when the time comes to start riding a proper bicycle and one day — a car!

Are rides on toys safe?

Of course, the chances of your child hurting themselves on a scooter are likely to be higher than if they were playing with a puzzle indoors. However, this doesn’t mean that ride-on toys aren’t safe and should be avoided.

In fact, letting your little one take risks is an important part of their development and there are always plenty of measures you can implement to minimise these risks. This can be done by making sure your child is supervised, teaching them how to operate their ride on toys properly and providing them with an environment clear from potential dangers like stairs. Lean into the possibility of a few bumps and realise that by picking them up, dusting them off and encouraging them to keep going, you’re instilling them with the resilience they’ll come to rely on later in life.

How do I choose a kid’s ride on toys?

Whether your little one is an aspiring equestrian or car-obsessed, with HipKids extensive collection of kid’s rides on toys, there is something to bring a smile to every child’s face. An important factor to consider when selecting a ride on a toy for your child is their age and abilities. For example, if you want to purchase a toy horse for your child, a Ponycycle is best suited to older children aged four to nine, whereas a hobby horse or a rocking horse is a great choice for children aged one to six years.

A clever option if you have multiple children of similar ages is to invest in a model that’s suited to group play like a two-seater truck or scooter set. Before you buy, be sure to check the ride on toy’s specifications and age recommendations. For any questions, feel free to get in contact with us and we’ll make sure your little one drives away happy!
