The Ride On Cars Guide

Dear reader

Welcome to the Toys2Ride blog.

At a guess, you’re probably at least going to be one of the following;

• a parent
• carer
• auntie
• uncle
• cousin
• grand or god-parent

and if so, then at some stage you will have felt the angst of not knowing what the heck to buy your loved one for their birthday or Xmas present! I mean, just how many hours have you lost throughout your life grappling with this annual task?

I dare say a fair few.

But, as you’re about to discover, that needn’t be the case any longer.

You may well agree that, in this increasingly technological age, it’s easy to forget kids still also enjoy the same basic entertainments that us long-since-former-kids used to enjoy. Entertainments such as; riding things, playing football, playing with dolls and/or soldiers, swimming, climbing trees and playing pooh sticks - well, perhaps not pooh sticks, the jury’s out on that one.

I for one will never forget my first classic love.  It was the summer of ‘76 (one of the hottest ever in the UK if I recall) and as a 5 year old littl’un, I had a birthday experience that will never ever leave me. On the morning in question when I awoke, there in the living room was a wrapped box.

But not just any box…

This box was big, it had presence, it oozed an aura of specialness and so I got about it with a fury. In no more than 8 seconds, an awesome beast had been released from it’s ridiculously-sellotaped paper and  cardboard bondage.

“BEHOLD!“

‘Twas a fantastic, red plastic, manual ride on car called a Little Trekker. And it was the best birthday present I ever received.

Suffice it to say, Lil’ T and I presently became one and I soon found out that Adrian, Ralph’s little brother round the corner, had one too! No more TV for me - I had places to go and see with Adrian in my Trekker.

As a result of that toy experience and my childhood in general, I made a vow that my kids would also be offered the same chance to partake of the simple as well as the modern and that’s why this dedicated ride on cars and ride on toys website is here and alive today. Admittedly, I’ve moved with the times and so the products are electric and not manual, but their underlying raison d’etre remains…

All little kids, boys and girls, love to sit on and in things and move

They, just like the little me of ‘76, have places, people and things to see. And ride on cars and toys offer them that opportunity to experience a bit of adventure. They’re great fun in the park, garden, driveway or even indoors - and when your little, fun is what life is all about.

As our children grow up quicker and mature faster nowadays, you need to make sure you capitalise on what little time of true innocence they have left.

I hope you enjoyed the post and please feel free to post your comments. Perhaps you could share some of your own experiences.

Take care for now.
