Do you remember the day your stabilisers came off? Or that neon green trike – fitted with bell and reflectors – that the kid down the block got for Christmas? Well nowadays kids toys have moved from ace to awesome, blending nostalgic cool with 21st century advancements – here’s the top 5!
5. The Scooter: The modern-day kids scooter is a marvel of 21st century reinvention and has remained much the same for nearly ten years now. The lightweight and foldable kids favourite has not only become a staple of backyards and garden games, but has even found its way into skate-parks – much to the dismay of parents and skateboarders alike.
4. The Trike: The humble kids tricycle will always remain a popular choice and is now available with additions such as tipper trays and parent poles as standard. For the style-conscious parent, there is also the temptation to opt for a retro chopper-esque beast. Or alternatively, if you wanna see your kid hurtling around on something that looks more durable than the last car you bought, why not go for a one with actual pneumatic tires? They’re on a comeback people.
3. The Bicycle: This top five is meant to be focussing on the contraptions good for kids before they get their first BMX. Luckily, learner bikes are ten a dozen now. And how much cooler can you get before the unicycle? These wee devices vary in design from pedal-less mini-bikes with a little footboard to narrow four-wheelers that don’t need stabilisers – and lets face it, stabilisers are rubbish.
2. Ride On Toys: ‘What are you talkin’ about?’ I hear you cry. ‘Ride-able tractors aren’t cool anymore!’ True. But the diversity of Ride On Toys is huge now, from weird outdoor rocking horses without a mane or face, to the battery-less Didicar that resembles a Sinclair C5 more than anything else; as well as appearing to propel itself by magic!
1. The Go Kart: Like the Trike, Children’s Go Karts have also had a serious redesign recently. Gone are the days of Dads toiling in the garage with a piece of leftover plywood and some wheels pilfered from an ex-shopping-trolley. Authentic-looking box-cars are now readily available, along with super-duper extreme carts that pack enough menace to send Walter and the Softies to the laundrette. Go Karts baby! Even I want one for Christmas.
