A “Mini-Farthing” version of a Penny Farthing bike (all the rage in the 1870s)? Marvel, DC Comics, and Disney? Plus, replicas of real world vehicles? There are so many options to geek out over!
Check out the list below, where we round up 16 of the coolest, most unique ride-ons toys for toddlers!

Lights ‘N’ Sounds Spidey Plane
I don’t know about your kid, but mine can’t stop talking about Spidey and His Amazing Friends. If your kid loves the show too (or you’re just a Marvel nerd), check out this great Spidey ride-on plane. It features fun sounds and flashing lights, with different light patterns on the spinning propeller in front. Plus, it’s great for younger kids, with a push bar on the back for help from a parent.
Bring back the original ride-on toy–that is, a hobby horse attached to a broomstick– with this handcrafted SiSu the Last Dragon stick dragon head. SiSu is the lovable last dragon from Raya and the Last Dragon, and your little one can ride her all around the house!

While this ride-on will take work on your part, the end result is the ultimate nerdy ride: a Star Wars AT-AT rocking horse.

According to the artist who created it, “If you can operate a scroll saw and a power drill, then you can make this rocker!”
Disney geeks and Vespa fanatics be advised: Kid Trax makes a Vespa mini-scooter with a Minnie Mouse dot pattern. It’s also available with a Disney princess theme, if you prefer. Your toddler can be zipping all over the neighborhood in style. My only question is: why doesn’t this come in my size?

Ever seen a truck pulled by a T-Rex? If not, now’s your chance. Your little paleontologist can ride in style with a T-Rex towing them along. Fun fact: a T-Rex could run up to 17 MPH! But don’t worry, this kid-powered ride-on only travels at the speed of your child.
Growing up, I loved carnivals and arcade games, so I was stoked to see that I could bring a piece of the carnival home with a ride-on bumper car! It comes in six colors, features joystick controls, and is sure to lead to hours of fun. Cotton candy not included.
As far I’m concerned, this ride-on is the perfect choice because it includes a ramp to ride down! Your kids will love zooming down the 6-foot slope. You’ll love that it packs up nicely, as the ramp and car fit inside the base which has rear wheels, making it a cinch to move. It’s like they designed it with parents in mind! Spoiler alert: They did.
