What makes BIG Bobby Car stronger

Making it STRONG - the BIG Bobby Car method of production.

We have previously stated that BIG Bobby Cars are stronger than ordinary ride-ons because they are made using "blow moulding". 

By looking at the underside of any BIG Bobby Car, you will see that it's a covered and rather "solid" bottom. Blow moulding allows it to be fabricated for strength and using less components to hold pieces together. In fact, the BIG Bobby Car body is the main piece that holds the driving systems together.

Alternative method to shape a plastic body out of plastic is machine pressing the "shell" of the car to conform to the required shape. The result is something with a "hollow" bottom. This makes connection parts necessary to create covers, and most ordinary ride-ons simply come without a bottom cover.

How Good is the BIG Bobby Car for a One Year Old Baby?

Want to know how one year olds take to their BIG Bobby Car ?

It's really amazing how much a baby grows in her first year. At first, just a new infant in your arms, and about 12 months later, ready to move around on her own. Baby's first ride-on can be introduced at this time, and we actually have seen first hand how impressive of the world's best known ride-on really is. 

Before the BIG Bobby Car, we have never seen that a baby can climb on-board any ride-ons with her own effort. More often, the ride-ons topple on their side, as the baby tries to pull herself up the seat. But, with the BIG Bobby Car, the same baby managed to climb on-board while the Bobby Car was resting on all its wheels. The baby had gripped onto the steering wheel and hoped on, all with a triumphant huff.

Getting baby to use the ride-on hasn't been easy though. In our eyes, the Bobby Car is a car; a toy one. But,  baby has no idea at all. So, always give baby a bit of time to become familiar with her Bobby Car. If she has an elder sibling, role-modelling can help, as we know how much faster babies learn from imitating their brothers or sisters. And because the BIG Bobby Car is so strong, you might even model it yourself! Climb on-board and let baby take a good look at what you are doing. It's not comfortable, but it gets the job done.You may just find that baby wants to do the same in no time.


Ride-on kids cars are fun indeed. The BIG Bobby Car is extra special because it is actually reported to offer benefits to children. If you want to know how the BIG Bobby Car aids the development of baby's hips, click on [http://uk.big.de/en/about_big/product_philosophy/healthy_development.shtml].

The BIG Bobby Car is certainly a worthwhile investment when baby turns one. If at first, baby doesn't take to it, or "drives badly", take heart that this is really why baby needs to learn and to grow! We choose toys for infants and toddlers largely because the toys help them develop. And, the BIG range of mobility development toys are well designed to do that job.

The Bobby Car steering vs ordinary ride-ons

What makes the "Bobby Car" steering so extra-ordinary?

Just pick up one of these German made kids ride and you can discover that children can get a ride that steers  almost as well as a real car! (To convince yourself further, look for tons of online videos showing even adults zooming about on these cars with so much ease.) So, why does the Bobby Car steer so well? How is this important?

It is common for ordinary kids ride-ons to employ a "turn-table" style steering. Basically, the steering wheel just rotates the front wheels directly for turning left and right. But in this type of design, the wheels inside and outside during a turn need to trace circles of different radius. The wheels in this case can slip, and that could dampen the child's mobility and freedom to steer confidently.

Meanwhile, Bobby Cars employ the Ackermann steering system; giving them realistic and smooth steering control. The Ackermann geometry was intended to help cars steer better, and kids ride-ons deserve this ease of steering because it gives the children the confidence to go where they want in the manner they instinctively expect. Thus, promoting the development of hand-eye-feet coordination with no disruptions.

The Bobby Car's steering is certainly easy and smooth.

The Ackermann steering geometry is why the Bobby Car steers so smoothly.

The Ackermann steering mechanism is distinctively seen from the side of the Bobby Car.

Best ride ons for kids Big Bobby Cars

BIG Bobby Cars are probably as good as they get when it comes to ride-ons for kids.

Already in existence for 40 years, the car is un-matched in design and reputation. They are fun for kids, and even healthy. Yes, even doctors agree that BIG Bobby Cars help children develop motor skills.

Our stock of BIG Bobby Cars are shown in http://www.partyandplay.com.sg/big-bobby-car/

Although we really like to just let the Bobby Cars speak for themselves, we want to address in this blog the relevance about battery operated rides.

When our child first tried the BIG Bike, we knew he loved it more than any other ride-ons he previously played with. And, truth is, he does have access to many battery and non-battery rides. We observed him for the next one hour and found that the size, design, ergonomics etc were really just right for children in their early development stages. As a toddler, he had to feel confident with the toys. BIG Bikes were really that! Easy to play with, looks great and light enough for him to push around.

Battery rides are not without their merits. But, these tend to be heavier, and learning to steer correctly while moving could be something for perhaps another time.

We believe that confidence building is the necessary first step, and BIG toys can do that. Our experience with BIG Bike is again confirmed with BIG Bobby Car. Kids love playing toy cars, and it's even better if they can sit on it.
