Pedal Cars

A pedal car is a fun way for kids to get around. Instead of a bicycle, children can drive around in a toy car with adult supervision. This type of vehicle is not electric, making it safe for kids of almost every age.

How do pedal cars work?

Pedal cars are easy to operate. The vehicles have multiple tires; depending on the model, there will be three or four. There are then pedals kids can use to move the toy kart down the road. In some instances, there is also a handle in the back for an adult to use to steer the kart.

What is the appropriate age for a pedal car?

The age level for these pedal toys will vary. Some models are designed for younger kids while others are designed for older kids who know more about how to pedal a bicycle.

  • 3-4 years: These are fun for kids who are just starting to learn how to pedal and may still need adult supervision.
  • 5-7 years: For kids who know how to ride a bicycle, these are more stylish. You can find these in many fun designs.
  • 8-11 years: These are designed to go faster and are more like a go-kart without the electric power.
Do the pedal cars have to be assembled?

A pedal car might need to be assembled before it can go anywhere. You will need to look at the model before you can know whether yours is completely assembled. There might be printed instructions or a video to help you with assembly. Some pedal cars are already assembled and all you have to do is put on decals. You might also have to make some adjustments as your kids grow.
