They come in many different shapes and sizes; ride-on toys can range from bicycles and wagons to rocking horses and bike crates while walk-on toys come in kinderboards, walkers, balancing discs and swings that allow your child's feet to touch the ground.  

Why are ride-on toys good for toddlers?

Walk-on toys and ride-on toys are great for helping toddlers develop their gross motor skills, develop a sense of balance and stimulate their vestibular systems so that they have a greater sense of awareness for their own bodies that allow them to walk and ride with more confidence and general ability. Using these toys also involves the large muscles in their bodies, such as the legs and arms, and are important for overall movement and coordination. By riding on or walking with a walk-on or ride-on toy, your child can practice using their balance, coordination and motor skills, which will help them develop these important skills further.
