Kids Riding Toys

I didn't mean to acquire an entire fleet of riding and push toys, but somehow through the years and the kids that's what I ended up with.  Most of them were acquired from thrift stores, garage sales and craigslist, and it's not worth it to us to take them with us.  Well, it's not worth it to me, anyway.  There was a mini-revolt when we told Sam and Grace a lot of things were staying behind.  Until we told them they could have the money we make from selling them to buy new toys once we get to Iowa.  Now we can't get their toys out of here fast enough.

See something  you like?  Make an offer.   Sam's totally open to negotiation.

Playschool Walk N Ride push toy/riding toy:  $3

 

See features here.  (Just to save myself the trouble of coming  up with my own description.)

Disney princess stroller:  $3

 Collapsible!  Pink!  Princessy! 

Push/Riding toy:  free

Not much to say about this one.  It's faded and waterlogged, but still being dragged around the house by my toddler.  

Moving or stationary activity center:  $3

This thing's actually kinda cool.  When your kid is little, you can lock the wheels and he can sit and push buttons, hang his arm out the window, pretend to drive, whatever.  When he's pulling up and starting to walk, you can unlock the wheels and it's a (giant) push toy.

Little Tykes Push and Ride Racers:  $4 each

 

In primary colors.

Or girly colors.

 See description here.  

 Little red tricycle:  $10

 

Sturdy.  Classic.  Awesome.  

Orange wagon:  free

The two front wheels are cracked, and I keep waiting for them to fall off.  But it's been like 4 years and they still haven't.  So maybe there's still some life left in the ole' girl.  Yours for the taking.

Two wheeler, with training wheels:  $3

 

 

Fisher Price Rock, Roll N Ride Trike:  $5

 

This converts to a stationary rocking toy for little kids, push bike for slightly bigger little kids, or a stand-alone trike for advanced peddlers.  (See description here.)

Rechargeable riding toy:  $5

This is actually one of the few toys we purchased new, and of course, we lived to regret it.  Sam was a little old for it when we got it (I think it's rated for 18 to 36 months), and he was underwhelmed by the speed.   It's slow, and it couldn't get traction on the wood floors in our house, so he never rode it much.

And also, it's broken.

See that arrow?  That's where a plastic bolt thing should be to hold on the handlebars.  The bolt broke off during a particularly thrilling low-speed chase.   If you're handy (or live with someone who is), you can probably rig up some solution.  Also, you can just jam the handlebars back on without the bolt and it works just fine, as long as you don't try to turn.  

So, in summary, it's really slow and it can't turn.   You know you want it!

On the bright side, it comes with a 6V battery and charger.  And since it wasn't ever used much, it's got plenty of battery life left.

Powerwheels Roadster:  $50

Surprise!  This one actually works!  We got the car used a couple years ago, and bought a new battery and charger at that time.  It has parental controls on the back to adjust to three different speeds.  Goes forward and reverse, with style.  Kids love it.

The end.
