American Retro Pedal Cars – Not Your Average Ride-On Toy

American Retro pedal cars are designed for parents who are looking for something beyond the usual molded plastic ride-on toys for their little ones. Children and collectors alike love the retro style, authentic detailing and durable construction of these lovingly-designed vehicles. The heavy-gauge steel body, the “old-fashioned” look and feel, and the child-safe, non-toxic finish are just some of the features that make these pedal cars the perfect outdoor toy for your little one. The following are some of the most popular American Retro models you will find:

Fire Truck Pedal Car
This bright-red fire truck, which is designed in every detail like the pedal cars of the 1940’s, features real wooden ladders and a bell to let everyone know that help is on the way. Your little one will feel just like a real fire fighter with this charmingly appointed rescue vehicle from American Retro.

Police Pedal Car
Now your little ones can race to the rescue in this authentic late-1940s police car. With its chrome hood ornament and trim and a bubble light on the hood, this unique pedal vehicle looks just like the black-and-whites you see in old movies.

Pretty in Pink Pedal Car
Nicknamed “sad face” after the appearance of the front end, the Pretty in Pink pedal car is reminiscent of the 1949 Buick Oldsmobile. With chrome detailing, including the windshield, hubcaps and hood ornament, this powder-pink pedal car is sure to make your little princess smile.

Estate Wagon Pedal Car
Available in pink and green, the Estate Wagon pedal car looks just like the original wood-paneled station wagons. Your kids will love pedaling down the sidewalk on the durable rubber tires as they run their important “errands” or come along for the ride as you walk the family dog.

Tow Truck Pedal Car
Kids are fascinated with tow trucks and love to see them on the road, hauling off broken-down cars to be repaired.

Below are just a few of the beautifully-crafted, sturdy vintage-style toys and other treasures that can provide hour after hour of safe and wholesome fun.

Radio Flyer Inchworm

A few decades ago, nearly every American child had their own Radio Flyer inchworm; all it takes to make this adorable ride-on “go” is bouncing up and down. Safe for kids aged 2 to 5, this friendly toy helps children develop balance and large motor skills.

These stainless-steel ride-ons meet or exceed all current safety standards; the durable construction ensures that your child, and even your grandchildren, will enjoy these fanciful toys for years to come.

Radio Flyer Retro Rocket

The Radio Flyer Retro Rocket pedal toy sports vintage styling, along with realistic “outer space” sounds (activated by rolling the wheels) and under-the-seat storage to take along everything your child needs for the next important “mission.”

Airflow Collectibles Tricycles

Airflow retro tricycles are stunning reproductions of the original Sky King Trikes of 1936. These steel trikes boast fabulous powder coats, chrome insignias, solid rubber tires, sealed ball bearing, rubber handles, and light that really does work. Why spend over $3,000 for an original trike that is in bad, as well as, unsafe condition, when you can buy a perfect replica in pristine condition? For even younger children, Airflow makes junior-sized tricycles that are exactly the same in every way, just scaled-down.

American Retro Coke Machine

This vintage-style treasure really works and is perfect for the family room or patio.

Coca Cola Bubble Clock

The classic “double bubble” Coca Cola advertising clocks, made from the 1940s to the 1960s, are among the most attractive vintage clocks available. Add one of these fully-functional electric clocks (no batteries required) to your den or family room to give your décor a genuine retro look and feel.

American Retro Toys and Décor: Bring the 40's and 50's Back to Life With Pedal Cars, Planes and More

If you have a taste for the nostalgic, you can bring the past back to life with beautifully detailed pedal cars, planes, and other sturdily designed toys meant to be handed down from one generation to the next. Aside from their style and retro appeal, here are some of the many advantages of American Retro toys:

• Sturdy, stainless steel construction. American Retro pedal cars and pedal planes are a notch above the molded plastic vehicles often sold today. While battery-operated plastic toys are fairly popular and inexpensive, they do not typically withstand heavy use. Retro cars and planes are safe, durable, and designed to hold up through years of enthusiastic play - chances are, if you buy a retro pedal car for your child today, you will be watching your grandchildren play with the same vehicle years from now.

• Safe for young kids. Although you may be tempted to pass on the toy car you pedaled down the sidewalks of your childhood, older models were often made with lead paint and other substances that are unsafe for kids. American Retro cars, trucks and planes are constructed entirely of non-toxic materials and are safe for kids of all ages.

• Provide important physical activity. While most parents understand the importance of exercise, children spend hours every day watching television or playing electronic games. A realistic retro pedal car or pedal plane gets kids out of the house and engages them in safe, fun physical activity that is good for growing bodies.

• Stimulates the imagination with creative play. As your little son or daughter pilots a retro plane through imaginary clouds, they are developing their creative skills - an important part of learning and growing up.

At A Kid Place, we have a terrific collection of American Retro pedal cars, trucks and planes. Check out our brightly-colored and beautifully detailed pedal vehicles, from classic Ferraris to taxis to tow trucks. We even have reproductions of the original Coca Cola machines – great for a themed play room or rec room.
