Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Fisher-Price Barbie Butterfly Tricycle
  • Fisher-Price Ready Steady Ride On Tricycles
  • Fisher-Price Tough Trike Primary Colors Tricycles
  • Power Wheels Caterpillar Dump Trucks
  • Power Wheels Jeep Jr. Toddlers
  • Power Wheels Jeeps
  • Power Wheels Kawasaki Guide 'n' Drives
  • Power Wheels Super Talk! Barbie Sun Jammers
  • Power Wheels Wild Things
  • Tricycle Helmets
  • Power Wheels Jeep Aftershocks
  1. Step 1

    Understand the wide range of Fisher-Price ride-on toys.

  2. Step 2

    Know that toys for toddlers are low to the ground and very stable, such as the Ready Steady Ride-on (about $20). These toys are good for children just learning to use a ride-on toy.

  3. Step 3

    Consider Power Wheels toys for older preschoolers. Power Wheels toys are motorized and can travel up to 5 miles per hour. They can be dangerous if the child is not old enough to observe some basic rules of safety.

  4. Step 4

    Understand that Power Wheels are also expensive - in the $150 to $300 range. Models include the Super Talk Barbie Sun Jammer, Jeep Aftershock, Kawasaki Guide 'n' Drive Cycle and the Jeep Jr. Toddler.

  5. Step 5

    Realize that Fisher-Price has several non-motorized ride-on toys appropriate for older toddlers and preschoolers. These plastic tricycles come in a variety of designs. Check out the Rock 'n' Roll Ride tricycle ($33), which has removable rockers. This toy is excellent for toddlers and works well for preschoolers once it is converted to a tricycle.

  6. Step 6

    Realize that many of the Fisher-Price non-motorized ride-ons come with a storage compartment under the seat.

  7. Step 7

    Make sure that the ride-on toy you buy is not too small for the child. Children can always grow into a larger toy, but once it is too small, it is useless.

  8. Step 8

    Purchase a Fisher-Price ride-on toy from the shopping list below or from your favorite online retailer or local toy store.

Tips & Warnings
  • Purchase a helmet for your child to wear whenever he or she rides. It will be second nature by the time your child graduates to a bike.
  • Teach your child never to go near the road while riding a ride-on toy. The child will be low to the ground and almost invisible to drivers.
