Similar to a bicycle or tricycle, these retro riding toys have a set of pedals under the “hood” and kids make them go by pedalling…burning energy and excess calories while they’re zipping along the driveway or on the sidewalk.
Even better, there are no batteries to charge or replace, and these sturdy, little pedal cars are usually quite a bit cheaper than their electric powered counterparts.
Pedal cars come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and models…ranging from the model shown at the left to really retro looking 50′s cars, fire engines, pedal planes, and even luxury car models like Ferraris and Mercedes Benz.
What kid wouldn’t like to have a miniature replica of his or her favorite car to tool around the neighborhood in? And what parent wouldn’t appreciate knowing that your child is exercising while having such a good time?
So, before you buy that next video game console, that next toy that will keep your child inside the house, on the couch or the computer, take a look at all the different pedal cars available…and get him or her moving, get the imagination going, and get him or her a pedal car!
