All right-how many ride on toys do they REALLY have?

DH is in the midst of cleaning out the garage...and he's annoyed. And I by him! :aggressive: LOL! So-what type of ride-ons, bikes, etc do your kids have? And how many kids do you have? And did you buy them? Gifted to you?

Here's our list:
1.) Cozy Coupe(old-tag sale-$2)
2.) John Deere double mower(it's a power wheel for two kids-it's huge! And it was GIVEN to us by the neighbors down the street who have twin boys)
3.) Police Motorcycles(2)-Power wheels also given to us by said neighbors...
4.) Dora ride on-bought at tag sale for $1
5.) Power Wheel Beetle-we bought for boys first birthday
6.) Kawasaki ATV-we bought for boys first birthday
7.) Old ride on-hand me down by SIL
8.) Jumper ride on-some jumpy thing, or ride on as a gift for Christmas one year by SIL
9.) Kettler Trike-given to us by SIL

Ok. I think that's it. So-we bought full price two items, other two were tag sale, the rest were gifts-so we didn't spend a ton of $ on them. My thing is-we have child #3 who is yet at the age to use them, but close. And then we have a few friends the same age as the kids. So when they come over for playdates we have bikes for them to ride as well-if need be.

Now-I'm not saying to keep them all! LOL! We're keeping the John Deere, the motorcycles, Kettler Trike. I want to keep the Cozy Coupe as well as the Dora ride on(or go get her a brand new one for her birthday...).

So-what's your garage looking like? LOL! :laughing: I know-after typing it all out, and seeing it in the driveway-it's a bit excessive!

 

My girls have 2 Cozy coupes, 2 scooteres and 2 of those push/ride on cars that we keep here. They have tricycles at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Then they have 2 powerwheel ATV's at our River property that we just keep down there. Since it's not all in one place it doesn't seem excessive to me.

 

We have:

2 Cozy Coupes
2 foot-powered ATVs
2 Radio Flyer trikes with push handle
1 Power Wheels ATV for toddler size kids
1 John Deere ATV (for oldest DS)
1 bike (oldest DS)
1 Diego Scooter (oldest DS)

I do feel like our garage looks like a ride-on toy parking lot. :laughing: And it will be growing by one more when we get a 2-seater Power Wheels Jeep/Car/something.

 

Tell your DH if the garage is crowded you need a shed We keep all our outdoor toys in a shed in the backyard. Here is what we currently have:

1) 2 cozy coupes (one from thrift store- $5; one a hand-me down)
2) 2 radio flyer bicycles (gifts from my brother)
3) 2 teeny ride on fake FP bikes- good for when littler kids come over (again gifts from my brother)

We are getting them two new bikes- probably one big wheel type, and one classic trike. Oh and I just gave away a little FP ride on pink pony (another gift from my brother). We also have doll strollers x2 and shopping carts x2 that are used outdoors and while they aren't ride-ons they do take up a lot of room.

 

1 cozy coupe... bought at a garage sale $22
1 fire truck (kinda like the little people one) bought on craigslist $10
1 pooh train one... that one bought full price
1 radio flyer tricycle I haven't even given them yet and I hope they won't fight for

I really hate buying two of everything but so far they share relatively well.

 

My girls only have a bike a piece and a barbie motorized 4-wheeler a piece (the little ones that they are now too big for). We just don't have any place for any more than that and no where to ride them.

 

Holy moly, that's a lot of stuff!

We have a couple (indoor) ride on trucks and a walker wagon that one kid can push and the other can sit in. That's it. But we also live about 5 houses down from an awesome park where everyone donates their old stuff. It's practically our second yard. So the kids have unlimited access to old Cozy Coupes, tricycles, and other ride ons there for free. :banana:

 

My two just have one ride on car (it was a push to walk walker and it converted into a car). We plan on getting them tricycles this summer. We don't have a garage or a lot of space to store that kind of stuff.

 

Exactly. We're going to get the tricycles for their 3rd birthday this summer. No garage, no yard = not much playing outside on riding toys.

 

We have
2 cozy coupes (which they don't ever use anymore)
2 trikes
2 big wheels (we rotate out the trikes and the big wheels from storage)
a Wagon

I'm really tempted to get rid of the cozy coupes, trikes and wagon to get a Battery operated car thing. Do your kids like it?? Sounds like a lot of you have one (or more!). Can I get away w/ one to share do you think?? When did you guys stop using a wagon?

 

We have:
2 cozy coupes
1 small ride on car
1 small horse on wheels
1 bounce zebra

There is not enough room in our house for the cozy coupes so they are in the garage and are used outside. The others are now in the garage because we got a kitchen and had to move some stuff out of the playroom. They didn't play with those things much so I put them away.

At their grandparents' house they have 2 tricycle type things and 1 atv thing that was given to MIL. They are actually still a little small for the bikes so they don't really play on them.

I plan on getting them trikes this summer so that up our outdoor toys to 4 ride ons

 

When they were babies/toddlers, we had a total of 4 ride-on toys that they rode in the house, but we rotated them so only 2 at a time were out. Since we got rid of those, they generally just have one (each) -- for a while it was trikes, then we handed down the trikes and got toddler bikes. At the moment we do have one extra bike, which is a larger girl's bike we're waiting for someone to grow into.

I have no interest in kid-size versions of adult trucks, cars, etc., or anything battery operated, and we don't have any paved surfaces to ride on anyway -- we have to walk around the block with them or take them to the park. If I could just turn them loose to ride in the driveway, I'm sure we'd do it more often and they'd probably have more things.

We do have a red wagon but I don't count that -- it's more like a stroller than a ride-on.

Holly, that park sounds so great! We would be there all the time!

 

Mine have tricycles and cozy coupes. I wasn't planning on getting them any power wheels. Oh yeah, we do have a nice covered wagon but I don't really count that.

 

We have just for the twins:
2 plastic tricycles - they NEVER even touch them
1 metal trike - they love it and fight over it - dh found it at a garage sale for dirt cheap and it looks brand new
2 bicycles with training wheels they love
1 powerwheels barbie jeep - they never touch it
1 powerwheels ATV - FAVORITE by FAR! but the battery just doesn't last long I wonder if they make something small, slow, and gas powered?
4 skateboards - another favorite! my boys are big skateboarders and my girls are headed that way too lol!
1 step 2 roller coaster


for the boys between the 3 of them:
they have at least 10 skateboards
1 dirtbike
3 bicycles

there is probably more, we have a shed just for the kids stuff
