Understand the wide range of Fisher-Price ride-on toys.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Realize that many of the Fisher-Price non-motorized ride-ons come with a storage compartment under the seat.
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.
Purchase a Fisher-Price ride-on toy from the shopping list below or from your favorite online retailer or local toy store.
