Rubber tires, glistening paint, these tractors will bring back fond memories of childhood and life on the farm.
Pedal tractors are a “keeper” and with their heavy duty die cast metal construction (as well they come in plastic), can be passed down to the next generation….or brother or sister.
A pedal tractor fosters the child’s helpful instincts even further. By instilling early responsibility, parents lend their children a sense of accomplishment.
The tractor, just like the Peg-Perego “Cub Cadet” Tractor, is a fun way to get some exercise, and it encourages kids to appreciate the outdoors even more.

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 said, “chocolate on your tongue??” with a hint of wonder, he said “NO! hee hee hee hee - chocolate in my dump truck!!” He loves his dump truck, so it’s quite the happy secret.
Especially if he meant THIS dump truck.

As adults, the James Bond wannabe in all of us would delight in the bevy of choices of supercars 007 has driven. Now we can give our kids a wonderful array of choice with ride on toy cars. The battery powered Enzo Ferrari, purely made to be beautiful and luxurious. If you have a budding James Bond on your hands, set him up with a ride worthy of 007. This electric ride on car is made in Italy, licensed from Ferrari and designed in conjunction with their engineers. To you this means quality product. To him it shouts, “WOW, Ferrari”!
A terrific ride on toy with tough Polystyrene and Polyethylene bodywork - very strong and flexible and paint deep injected means scratches can be buffed away. To you it says great safety factor. To him it says “have to save the world no time for body work”!
An electric powered Ferrari with forward, reverse and neutral gears and electronic acceleration - the car will stop when his foot is off the accelerator. To you this says “Excellent learning tools” - To him it states “Control is mine”. Bond, James Bond.
It may be missing a few gadgets but the great Q has nothing on a child’s imagination. After a few rides in this battery powered ride on Ferrari, he may demand that his milk be shaken, not stirred.
Children and toys go hand in hand.
Toys worth buying include toys which encourage positive growth in children, both mentally and physically. It is worth buying toys which have the potential to be used over and over again and which are not a one time craze. Pedal cars are such toys. Pedal cars encourage safe outdoor play and are always good buys.
An example of a good pedal car is the L’il Red Train.
Now you can chug along in the Lil’ Red Train. Everyone will know you’re coming with the working headlight and bell. The L’il Red train feature an all steel construction, lead free powder coat paint, authentic steel cattle guard, high traction non slip tires, three position adjustable pedals and a padded seat.
All aboard…….. This train is ready to pedal!

How utterly fantastic is this thing?
I know it looks as big as a Hummer, but it’s actually shorter and narrower. The Cadillac Escalade Ride on Toy’s sleek design and burgundy color stand out just like the real thing.
The push powered Ride on Toy is equipped with an electronic dashboard with authentic motor vehicle sounds too, so just imagine the fun your little one will have pressing all those buttons for that Real Car Sound.
Somewhere in that unit, the rear lift gate opens for storage of your favourite play things. My favourite part of the ride on toy is the electronic dashboard and the authentic decals.
I still have a place saved in my mental garage for a Cadillac Escalade.
There is nothing like passing down your favorite toy to your own children one day.
One type of toy that has been very popular for passing down through the generations is pedal cars. There is just nothing like having a pedal car and to enjoy seeing your own child playing with it.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, which is why parents often beam with pride when a child begins to emulate them. Kids love to be busy. Parents can parlay that boundless energy into some quality time with mom and dad. When dad works on home improvement projects, small children relish the chance to help out with a plastic hammer.
A pedal car fosters the child’s helpful instincts even further. By instilling early responsibility, parents lend their children a sense of accomplishment. The pedal car is a fun way to get some exercise, and it encourages kids to appreciate the outdoors even more.
Your little girl is sure to stand out in the neighbourhood riding a pink pedal car!

Kids love the Battery Operated Ride on Toys like Indian Motorcycles. Where can you find the coolest ones available on the market today. In creating this page I was amazed at how many are out there in every style and type from Quads, Trucks, Classy Cars, Working Ride Ons - like Cub Cadet to Motorcycles.
I had given my kids each a Battery Operated Ride On toy on their second birthdays, but now they are older and can no longer use these and have moved on to bigger toys.
The coolest Battery Operated Ride on Toys - some which you may have ever seen - Indian Motorcycles, Feber Roadsters, Injusa Phantom Racers, Mini Moto Cars and so much more.. The look of pleasure on their face when they first try out their new ride on toy is something that we as parents and our grandparents treasures. It’s an experience of pleasure that reasonates in both the kids and us as adults, as we connect with feelings from our past when we too had an identical experience of delight.
Being a kid is all about having a good time as much and as frequently as possible and a new ride on auto holds the possibility of having lots of fun well into the future.
