Here at Pedal Car Power, we aim to make childhood experiences as enjoyable and safe as possible.
Here are a few basic safety rules to consider and hopefully, make your child’s pedaling memories all happy and safe ones:

Pedal Cars, Pedal Planes and Tricycles

*Pedal Cars, Pedal Planes, Tricycles and most Pedal Toys should only be used on hard flat surfaces. Please ensure they are not used around unfenced pools, ponds or other sources of water as most are all metal and quite heavy.

*Pedal Cars and Pedal Planes have no brakes and are propelled solely by the child’s legs so, please, keep them off hills and sloped driveways. Never push a child in a pedal car or allow them to be pushed by another child or adult.

*Pedal cars, pedal trucks and pedal planes all have open underbodies. It is imperative that you do not allow your child to ride his/her pedal toy without the appropriate footwear. Shoes should be worn at all times when pedaling. Little toes can so easily get caught in the pedal mechanism. Please ensure your child’s shoe laces are securely tied prior to riding his/her pedal toy.
Remember, loose clothing items could also become tangled in the pedals. Long flowing Scarves pose an especially great hazard.

*Pedal cars, Pedal planes, tricycles and Big Wheels are all low to the ground and therefore not as visible to adult drivers, so please supervise your child while enjoying their pedal toy and ensure they keep them off the road.

Horses

*Toy rolling Horses need to be ridden on flat surfaces only.
*Rolling Horses have no brakes so please, no riding on hills, steep driveways etc.

Here at Pedal Car Power we hope to help make very happy, lasting memories for your children and most of all make their pedal toy experiences safe.
