Ride-on and walking toys encourage babies and toddlers to explore movement, develop physical skills and build confidence as they grow. From taking supported steps with a sturdy push walker to scooting along on their first ride-on toy, these playful favourites provide opportunities to practise coordination, balance and independence.
Whether your little one is learning to walk or discovering the excitement of moving around on wheels, age-appropriate ride-on and walking toys can make everyday play more active, engaging and rewarding.
- Gross motor development: Walking, pushing and propelling ride-on toys helps children develop leg strength, coordination and important movement skills.
