Best riding toys EVER!!!
First thing to keep in mind: I have eight boys 9-25. My first 4-in-a-row boys (Josh, Ben, matt and Zach) loved riding Kettcars. But by the time the next 4-in-a-row boys (Jonny, Jesse, Daniel, Justin - 1 by birth, 3 by adoption, all with Down syndrome) reached the age where they were ready for the Big Boy rides, I wanted to get up-to-speed (no pun intended) and did my research.
The riding toy that got consistent rave reviews from parents was the Green Machine, so in 2003 we bought a couple of them - and they're still running. Here's Jonny on one:
And this is from an old post - Boys Will Be Boys Forever on Green Machines!
After that Family Day, I decided we'd better invest in a couple more Green Machines. Checking their ratings they were still going strong. And Amazon had a great price. Here is the new - and IMPROVED! - model, which Matt put together for us this week:
The seat is adjustable - which is a real plus since everyone from Justin (9 but quite small) to Josh (25) can make it work.
But when the Big boys are on the Green Machines, Justin rides his Big Flyer:
With summer starting and in case you have birthdays coming up, just thought I'd share these. One of those investments worth every penny!
