Top Vehicle Toys for 2013
If your
child says they want a car for Christmas or their birthday, you may not be sure if they mean a handheld car or one
they can get in and maneuver on their own.
Both
are popular with kids. Let’s go over the handheld options first. Construction vehicles always top the bestseller
list, and this year’s no different...
Consider
the Toystate Caterpillar Construction Mini Machine 5-Pack, which includes a dump truck, bulldozer, and more. This is one of
the top vehicle toys listed online.
The Melissa
and Doug Car Carrier is a unique vehicle toy because it’s a large 18-wheeler that carries four smaller cars on it –
just like you’d see on the highway when new cars are being shipped to a dealership!
Cars aren’t the only kind of vehicle that your child can hold and play with,
though. Airplanes are also popular, as always.
The Battat Take Apart
Airplane ranks high on the 2013 bestseller list for toy vehicles. Your child can disassemble it and then reassemble the plane
for fun play!
There are other planes ranking well
too – such as the Fisher Price Little People Lil’ Mover and the Disney Planes Figure Play Set, which includes
Dusty, Ripslinger, Bulldog, Ishani, Rochelle and El Chupacabra.
Cars and planes are two types of vehicles that will always be popular, but don’t forget ships!
The Fisher Price Disney’s Jake and the Neverland Pirates Muscial ship is ranked really well online – and customers
love how durable and interactive this toy is.
Remember
the Remote Control versions of toys you can get. In addition to popular helicopters, there’s a new brand of RC toy called
the Kid Galaxy Morphibians. These work on pavement, dirt and sand, or water – and you can get them as a shark, gator,
killer whale, stingray or other versions.
Of
course, there are other more traditional RC cars you can look into that rate high for 2013, including the Maisto R/C Rock
Crawler – which have excellent capability for off-roading maneuvers.
If your child wants to find something good to ride in or on this year, then consider
the PlasmaCars that are available in different colors – and don’t require any motors or power to have fun!
There are tons of ride on toys – from those suitable for
a tiny toddler to those perfect for older kids who can handle motorized power and faster capabilities. You need to choose
carefully, as your child grows out of the popular Little Tykes Cozy Coupe to something like the Razor Dune Buggy that reaches
speeds of up to 10 mph.
Whenever you’re
buying ride on toys, whether it’s a vehicle or something like a pogo stick or roller skates, make sure you invest
in a safety helmet, knee pads and elbow pads so that your child doesn’t get hurt.
