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.





Now you know why BIG Bobby Car is so strong. Find one at http://www.partyandplay.com.sg/big-bobby-car/

Will My Child Fit in a Battery Operated Kids Car?

After their children have attained sufficient mobility and coordination skills, some parents are keen to nurture another skill-set, one which is very relevant in the modern world; manipulation of power tools. This is the time to consider whether a battery operated ride-on would be appropriate for the children.

A battery operated ride-on would not need the child user to move it by her own effort, but it does require the association of work done with affordances. And, the laws of physics must be obeyed, and add to them, the characteristics of real-world engineering. How fast will the ride-on move? How easy is it to stop? These translates to what the child user must do to sustain an enjoyable; therefore collision free, riding session.

Since children grow really fast, some parents may want to know when their children can "fit" in size and skills. Skills can be developed, and perhaps getting the children to learn is even better. 

We'll show you the seating capacity of one of our popular items; the "LAMBORGHINI battery powered ride-on" to answer the "size" fit question.


This ride-on requires assembly and ships in a carton. It is not easy to get a close look at the stores, so the next few pictures will help. 



There is quite a bit of space for a pre-schooler. 



Seat is wide enough to place an A4 paper length wise. (That's about 29cm.)


Foot board space is large enough too for an A4 paper. (That's about 29 x 21 cm.)

There you have it, a convenient comparison of the space in this ride and the popular A4 paper standard. One last thing, if your child is expected to play independently, she needs to be able to climb in confidently. And the height of this ride for getting into... A4 paper.

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.
