The Riding Buddy–Cat is truly the perfect first-wheeled ride for toddlers. The first impression parents and kids had was that the Riding Buddy has fun, bold colors of yellow and orange and its aqua wheels that really pop. The kitty has a pleasant, friendly and inviting expression. The tail is curved into a loop handle so parents can give kids an extra boost as they scoot around. Also, the tail loop makes it easy to grab and move it from one location to another. A creative design that is also functional – kudos on that. The seat is comfortable, and the wheels roll smoothly, making it ideal for indoor and outdoor play. No need to worry that the wheels will leave scratches on indoor floors. Children can go at their own pace as they scoot with their feet on the floor (no pedals). Testers liked the weighted build of the toy and how that made them feel safe about it not tipping over. This fun toy keeps children active and helps them work on balance and gross motor skills. The plastic is round and smooth, has no sharp edges, and is easy to clean. If it is left outdoors and becomes dirty, you can easily hose it off and maintain its good looks. It is low enough that even younger children can handle getting on or off of it by themselves. The handles are a big help along with the weighted, steadiness of it. This is a great toy and potentially a perfect gift for a young one.
