Best Ride-On Toys of 2022

The Radio Flyer is a tricycle design untouched by time. It’s built for kids ages two to four, and the adjustable seat can be raised as your child gets older.

The wide handlebars are easy for kids to grab, and they also make it more difficult for the tricycle to tip over. The back serves as a rear step, making it easier for your child to get on and off.

The steel construction makes it extremely durable but should be covered on rainy days to avoid rust. With two color options, you’ll likely find one your child will love.

Designed with safety in mind, this unicorn-themed rocking horse is made for kids aged one to three years. The seat is surrounded by three sides, making it more difficult for young children with less balance to fall off. It also has a safety belt for extra security.

The seat is made of a plush fabric that’s comfortable for your child, and it’s also stain resistant. The structure is made of solid wood — great for both carpet and hardwood floors.

The car is equipped with a high rail on the back, a handlebar, and a footrest, so your child can hold on tight. At the top of the track, the holding area is recessed so the car won’t move until your child is ready. If you don’t want to use the track, the car can be used as a ride-on toy by itself.

This lightweight electric bike by Kid Trax is built like a motorcycle and comes in a Spiderman design. The extra-wide wheels ensure that your child is stable and secure at all times.

The battery is chargeable, so you don’t have to worry about being stuck without a replacement. It’s suitable for ages one to three, or up to 40 pounds.

This ride-on toy has a unique design that eliminates the need for pedals or batteries. Half-tricycle, half-scooter — it moves forward using gravity and tension from the wheel system. As a result, it is designed for children ages three and up who are more likely to understand how it works.

Once the child is sitting, they can buckle in for safety. They can also steer the wheel and honk the horn to feel more engaged in the ride. Compared to a stroller, your child will be able to see more and feel like a “big kid,” even though it’s suitable from 18 months.

This super little rocker is designed for kids from 12 months old. The benefit of this rocker is that it can grow easily with your child, compared to rockers with safety straps that are more confined. This rocker will last until age three, with a maximum weight load of 50 pounds.

To ride the toy, all your child has to do is sit in the seat and rock back and forth. The design of the rocker reduces the risk of them tipping backward or forward.
