Ride-On Toy Guides for First Rides, Safety and Go-Karts

What to decide first

• Age and fit: match the toy to the stated age range and seat/control size.
• Speed: choose adjustable speeds when the child is still learning.
• Space: leave room for turning, stopping and adult supervision.
• Surface: use ride-on toys only on suitable, safe riding areas.
