WHY GIVE A RIDER OR A BIKE
There are several reasons why it is a good idea to give a ride-on or a bike (preferably wooden) as a gift. First of all, the little ones really appreciate this type of games in which they can be involved at 360 °, that is, on a motor, visual and tactile level. These are games that help develop coordination, movement and balance and in the case of the first wooden steps there is also the possibility of using them as trolleys on which the little ones can lean and help themselves when they are starting to walk.
The advantage of most of these toys is that they can be used independently or with the help of an adult, therefore, they are exploited for quite long periods and also allow to develop and strengthen, through play and fun, the relationship with their parents. Subsequently, when the child has acquired greater self-sufficiency and will be able to stand and walk perfectly, he will be able to use them to whiz away with its own little legs!
Often these games stand the test of time, they are timeless in terms of entertainment for the little ones and they can possibly be exploit for another child, to give to the children of friends or relatives or to resell at a flea market.
HOW TO CHOOSE RIDERS AND BIKES
How can we choose the right ride-on or bike for our children or to give as gifts? There are several parameters to consider, first of all it is good assess the age of the children who will receive the gift and consider their tastes, of course from the point of view of the parents is also important evaluate the value for money of the toy in question.
In the case of ride-ons and bikes suitable for small children (ie without pedals) it is very important to do attention to the materialand with which these objects are made. We recommend wood, more ecological and safe material for children, as well as aesthetically beautiful. In fact, there are many commercial variants made of plastic, often even cheaper, but in addition to the fact that these are products that weigh more on the environment, they often also tend to break more easily. In plastic, however, you will find a greater choice both in terms of first steps and tricycles, bicycles and motorcycles without pedals. In fact, the major commercial brands of children's toys still produce a lot with this material and often also add electronic panels or other technological gadgets to increase the performance of the ride-on.
