KIDS ON WHEELS
Another copy from online
of an old fashioned kiddie car.

& dog often ‘borrow’ the little girl next door’s electric kiddie car to go
for a joy ride.
My Mom said I liked to push my Taylor-Tot, sans the handle, around the backyard. I guess I liked to sit in it too. The only limiting factor with that was the foot tray in the way. I don’t know if the foot tray was removable? If it was I would have been able to propel myself around with my feet. Having been about the age of 2 when this picture was taken, however, I don’t remember?
Me riding my trike down
the sidewalk in front of our house. It
was red and I loved it, but I was getting to be a little too big for it so I
must have been around 6 here. My younger
brother inherited it, but I don’t remember getting another, bigger, trike? A couple of years or so later my brother got
a bigger one – a blue one – and I remember being able to ride it when he wasn’t. I also remember riding on the back of it as
we zipped down the street (on the sidewalk).
It wasn’t the safest thing
to do, but what did we know? It was
fun. We didn’t have a dog, though. And I don’t remember falling off.
My son in 1972 trying to
ride his trike in the snow.
1974 - the Christmas my 2-year old daughter thought Santa had brought her the Big Wheel meant for her brother. Oops. No, no, sweetie. See that cradle with a dolly in it over there . . .
1977 - Daughters riding
their tricycles on our large back patio.
I’m not sure why they’re so dressed up?
I think we might have just come home from church.
This looks like a fun
version of a tricycle. Giddie-up Trigger!
My Dad, the cowboy, in his
wild west buckboard wagon round about 1915-16.
My younger oldest sister
and I liked to play with my brother’s wagon when he wasn’t playing with
it. I think she was around 2 in this
photo so I would have been 7.
This is my husband at a
young age sitting on a toy fire engine with a water tower. He told me it was one of his favorite toys.
Here’s an unusual wheelie
my youngest daughter is riding. It was
called an Inchworm. Bouncing up and down
on it made the wheels turn – very slowly.
It literally moved inch by inch.
Both daughters had one and usually, after a few bounces and barely getting
anywhere, they’d just propel the things with their feet. Behind her, here, is a rocking horse. No wheels, just rockers but if one daughter
bounced on the Inchworm and the other simply scooted the rocking horse forward
a bit with each rocking, they stayed even. J
