The cars are bright and colorful, with fun little characters sitting in the front seats. They have no sharp edges and their soft, squishy nature makes them extremely safe for your baby to handle. The set also includes a carrying case for easy and convenient transport.

There are a lot of great features in this baby race car. The top of the car is round, which makes for gentle handling. Inside the wheels are little rattle beads for fun sound effects.

If your baby likes to put toys in their mouth, you won’t need to worry about this car. The entire toy is soft and flexible, perfect for teething as well as racing.

This toy is cute, safe, and fun. Its multiple benefits make it a great all-rounder for your little one.

These cars are ideal for your toddler as they have a ball-like design that makes them easy to hold. They are hardy, rugged, and ready to play, and they’re also adorable. All of the cars are Disney-themed, with Mickey, Minnie, Pooh, Tigger, Mike, and Sully being the face of the cars.

Young children are able to grip these cars easily and roll them smoothly.

This environmentally-friendly tractor will provide great quality entertainment while giving you peace of mind. Made in the U.S. from 100 percent recycled plastic, it has no external coatings and no metal axles, which means no rust.

The tractor has a detachable trailer pull and large, sturdy wheels that can handle any terrain, indoors or out. This tractor toy is fun, good quality, and kind to the earth. You can feel good about giving it to your children.

The tractor is available in orange and pink.

These brightly-colored toy cars are made from good quality materials that make them strong and sturdy. Included in the set of three are a street sweeper truck, cement mixer, and harvester.

Each car has an automatic twisting or rotating part that activates when the car is pushed. No batteries are required. This adds a realistic aspect to the toys as the actions mimic real-life scenarios.

This versatile set comes with 60 individual pieces that can be put together to create over 20 different vehicles. Possible vehicles include construction trucks, police cars, and regular cars. The number of possibilities will have your toddler’s imagination working overtime.

The chunky pieces are designed with round corners for safety and are made from wear resistant and odorless plastic. Older kids will enjoy these as well.

This set comes with three colorful and imaginative options — an airplane, a race car, and a train. These toys can be taken apart and put back together by your children, helping them with their critical thinking skills. When fully assembled, they do have the ability to roll.

These toys also come with safety in mind. They have no sharp edges for you to worry about. They are made entirely from non-toxic materials and are safe if put into a child’s mouth.

Some parts are quite small, however, so supervision is advised for younger children.

This dump truck has a sleek and simple design, with a soft pink color. It rolls back and forth and is made to be the perfect size for a child’s small hands.

The Green Toys company prides itself on being eco-friendly. The truck is manufactured in the U.S., with 100 percent recycled plastic, and is phthalate and BPA-free. It’s even dishwasher safe!

The car is made without any external paints, dyes, or coatings. This makes it safe for both the Earth and the kids who play with it.

This set of five includes a variety of vehicles for your toddler to choose from. They can take their pick of a forklift, bulldozer, cement mixer, dump truck, and a tractor that includes a removable trailer. No batteries are required as these are powered by friction.

The set is made of sturdy, high-quality plastic and they are small enough to be taken anywhere. Pack these little cars in your bag and your toddler will be entertained, no matter where you are.

This toy car is modern and sleek in its design. Available in several different colors, this car is created to be easy for youngsters to grab onto. The handle makes pushing and pulling it simple and easy to understand.

The car is about 6.5 inches long and is entirely round and smooth, with no sharp edges or removable parts to worry about.

This set comes with six different dino vehicles to play with. The potential for creativity is endless as you have a wide variety of dinosaurs represented here like T-Rex and Triceratops to name a few. These are hand-painted realistic dinosaur cars that are made of non-toxic plastic.

The cars will zoom forward if you simply pull them back first. They are durable and glide easily along the floor. These cars will both stimulate the imagination and encourage the development of hand-eye coordination.

Using the included play drill and other tools, your child can transform this super cool race car and mini robot into an equally cool mega robot. This car encourages the use of thinking and problem-solving skills, as the car does not transform on its own.

To create the big robot, you must use parts from the car as well as the mini-robot that also comes included in the set. It’s suitable for ages 3 and upwards, due to some small parts.

This interactive toy car allows children to put a spin on the popular character Lightning McQueen. In addition to the traditional Lightning McQueen look, detachable accessories such as glasses and wings are included.

If you have a child who loves the “Cars” movies, they will be delighted to have their own Lightning McQueen to play with. They will have tons of fun recreating their favorite scenes.

The recommended age range is 3–10 years, due to small detachable parts. If your child is on the lower side of this range, you might want to supervise until you’re sure they’re no longer interested in putting toys in their mouth.

You get 10 mini cars, each with different details but all depicting a different character from the “Cars” movies. The cars are small and easy to handle, and they roll well.

You can use them as cake toppers, although they are also convenient for little party favors as well. A word of warning, though, these really are “mini” cars, 1 to 1.5 inches long, so again not suitable for younger toddlers, unless they’re supervised.

This kit comes with its own battery-powered “drill” that can be used to take the pieces of the car apart and put it back together again. This encourages the use of problem-solving skills.

It also comes with other options and can be assembled into a convertible or a classic sports car, with two different sets of wheels. It’s suitable for kids from three years old.

This fun and creative set includes two 6-inch monster trucks with large, light-up wheels. They don’t only light up, but they flash on and off, creating a mesmerizing light show. The trucks are battery-operated, however, the batteries are included.

The trucks are easy to operate, with just a push-and-go mechanism. If your toddler likes that light-induced stimulation like mine does, this could be a good choice for you.

These little cars are fast, fun, and totally adorable. They’re a modern version of the classic push-and-go cars that have been around for decades.

This set includes four vehicles — a race car, sports car, police car, and a tow truck. Each car has a cute “Little People” character built-in.

The cars are a collectible item and there are many other characters available. You can collect a bunch and have a whole team of little people racing around.

This is a versatile toy that has interesting features. It includes a 21” transport truck with a detachable back. The trailer case can accommodate six mini cars. The back doubles as a carrying case, and includes a do-it-yourself take apart race car, complete with a toolset.

This duo will entertain kids for hours as they enjoy the challenge of creating the car themselves. It’s for ages 3 years and over, although I suspect older kids will love this just as much as your 3-year-old.

This adorable set of six wheelies from Fisher-Price allows your little girl to roll around with her favorite Disney princesses. The set includes Ariel, Snow White, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Jasmine, and Tiana. Each princess is built into her own colorful, unique car.

The use of recognizable characters will encourage story-telling and fuel the imagination immensely. The vehicles are compatible with the Little People Disney Princess Playset for even more fun.

If your little boy — or girl — is interested in big trucks, check this out. This set includes a large, 26-inch hauler truck that can transport two sports cars on its detachable trailer.

With a realistic touch, it includes a folding tailgate so the cars can roll on and off with ease. The front part of the vehicle even features a turning mechanism for easy steering.

Four mini race cars come with this wooden race track. The wood is BPA-free and stained with non-toxic, water-based paint. The colors are fun and the cars roll up and down the ramps smoothly.

In addition to being fun, this toy is built with education in mind. The ramps are linked together and your child will have to figure out how they work.
