I was doing a little research history on pedal cars the other day because I was considering buying one as a gift. These wonderful little pedal cars and ride on toys can be traced as far back as the late 1800s.
Pursued through the 1900s in the United States, England, France and Australia, where these pedal toys were wide spread.
In the USA, pedal cars were made by companies such as Toledo with American National Automobiles and Murray with Steelcraft, both based out of Ohio. Model T Roadsters are a familiar pedal car ride with the Steelcraft stamp on it .
In the UK, it was Line Bros., with familiar Tri-ang who made the most popular pedal car in England. The J-40 modeled after the 1949 A-40. In France, there was Bon Marche` selling them before the war and Eureka after the war. Down under in Australia there was Cyclops whose pedal car designs were based on full sized US models at the time.
As adults it can be very enjoyable surfing through history of these great little pedal toys, because for a lot of us it brings back cherished memories, when we were kids and our own special pedal car ride. I am sure our children and grandchildren do not contemplate history of the sweet ride they just received. You and I know, kids just want to pedal for fun.
Now for a pedal car query — What does the J in J-40 stand for?
We welcome answers in the form of comments if you choose.
When I was younger I remember taking a class at the Vocational School and learning how to make wooden toys. It was such a fun time.
The Wooden Fire Truck is a great pull a long toy. The Fire Truck has a solid wooden body and six durable molded wheels.
Your little one can take it apart block by block and put it back together again.
What a way to use your hands and learn eye coordination.
There is nothing like a bright red pedal fire truck to get a child so excited.
With a bell to ring loudly, your child will find themselves pedaling quickly to put out the fire.
Aside from comic books and caped costumes, you can introduce them to the valiant people who risk their lives in the line of service by bringing them to places like fire stations.
Choosing toys like fire truck pedal cars is such a great idea.

A complete, ground-up redesign of this popular ride-on toy has been in the works for months. A new look and new features promise to make the 2010 model better than ever.
Here’s a sneak peek at the computer generated image of the fire truck and a partial list of some of the features.
The fire chief pedal truck has ladders on both sides that are for decoration only, not removable. It has a simulated fireman’s ax in the rear that is for decoration only, not removable.
The fire chief pedal truck has a chrome gauge area on both sides with chrome bumpers.
Your child will love the different sounds - 5 sounds (2 different sirens, horn, engine motor sound, and hose spaying sound and sound controls on the steering wheel).
The pedal car also has a working PA system with 2 sets of flashing red lights (one on the top front and another on the back).
The pedal truck has steel handrails on both sides with easy access for entry and exit and an additional 3 inches of leg room (compared to original Authentic Firetruck 101) for the child.
This scoot along fire truck pedal car is specially designed for those who can’t quite pedal yet. Junior firemen will be thrilled with their new fire trucks - just like the big boys. Let the fun times roll with this scoot along fire truck pedal car, specially designed for those who can’t quite pedal yet. The scoot along fire truck’s steel wheels with rubber tires make it easy for toddlers to race off to a “rescue!”
And for when your child want to bump the furniture, the scoot along fire truck has plastic fenders that protect walls and furniture. Moms will be delighted.
The fire truck is designed with high-quality wooden ladders, chrome fire bell and ladder racks.
Your little brave firefighter will feel very proud of himself as he scoots-a-long to the rescue!
Every kid (including the kid in all of us) dreams of being a hero. Whether it is comic superheros like superman or spider-man, they should also know the value of regular every day heroes in our community like firefighters.
Aside from comic books and caped costumes, you could also introduce them to the valiant people who risk their lives in the line of service by bringing them to places like fire stations. Choosing toys like fire truck pedal cars are also a great idea.
