Mason Roller Racer: the Perfect Indoor / Outdoor Ride-on Toy

Mason Roller Racer

Summer is here—the pools are open, the kids are out of school, and it is the perfect time for some outdoor fun. Chances are you are shopping around for interesting and innovative toys to keep your children entertained and outside. There are many toys on the market and making a decision isn’t easy.

The biggest problem with summertime toys I have run into as both a parent and a retailer is that you really only get to use them for a few months. Most are strictly to be used outdoors; when the weather turns cold, or even on rainy summer days, the toys sit unused. By the time the next summer rolls around, many of them will have been outgrown or deteriorated while in storage. 

The Mason Roller Racer is the perfect ride-on toy to buy for summertime fun while avoiding the usual traps. This sit-skate scooter works just as well indoors as it does outside, is suitable for a wide variety of ages, and is durable enough to survive months of storage should you find a need to store it.  

There is a good chance that you do not know what the Mason Roller Racer is, even though you might have used one when you were in school. Essentially, it is a low to the ground scooter that is powered by the weight and movement of the person riding. Rather than typical handlebars, the scooter has footbars with hand grips, allowing the rider to maneuver the scooter with his or her feet or hands. Made in the U.S.A, it is highly durable and designed to last for decades. Kids can entertain themselves for hours challenging each other to obstacle courses or cruising around the park. Even mom and dad will be tempted to join in with their boys and girls and have some fun!

Here at A Kid Place, we offer two different models. The Sport Roller Racer model is suitable for most uses and designed with safety in mind. In fact, schools and daycares, as part of their PE programs, frequently use this ride-on toy; you know that it is safe enough to place your trust in. The low center of gravity prevents the scooter from tipping and the handle grips keep little fingers safe. The scooter is designed without any sharp edges, making it safer than any other ride on toy on the market. While a helmet and shoes should always be used, you can relax while your children play on this scooter.

The Deluxe Amusement Roller Racer is the ideal model for parents who want their scooter to grow with their child. This model, while still able to be used by small children, can support up to 250 pounds. The Amusement Roller Racer is considered the top of the line in Mason's scooter line, is the most durable and the most flexible, and earned its name because it is actually used in amusement parks.

If you are looking for a great new summer ride-on toy that is versatile and built to last, look no further than the Mason Roller Racer line. No matter which option you choose, smiles and fun are guaranteed.

The Mason Flying Turtle: Everyone's Favorite Sit-Skate Scooter

Anything but slow as a tortoise, the Mason Flying Turtle is an all-American sit-skate scooter that will get the kids off the couch and out of the house to experience the thrills of this made in the U.S.A. classic. Perfect for the sidewalk, patio or park, this award-winning ride-on toy is sure to become a favorite childhood memory; in fact, many of today’s parents may remember riding their own Flying Turtle back in the day.

The scooter consists of a low-to-the-ground seat mounted on small wheels, with handlebars where riders place their hands and feet. With almost no effort, the Flying Turtle sails over smooth ground – and even linoleum or hardwood floors.

So where does it come from?

The Mason Flying Turtle is a true American product that is manufactured by a long-time family business located in Tennessee. Mason explains that this feat of engineering was first conceived by a retired aerospace engineer who repurposed an old tractor seat to create a unique toy that would provide hours of excitement for his young grandson.

How does it work?

The Flying Turtle is such a marvel of engineering that even today’s scientists are not completely sure how it works. Essentially, the pressure exerted by a rider’s feet on the handle bars, combined with turning the bars in one direction or another, propels the seat in any direction. Easy to handle, the scooter is so well-articulated that it can turn on its own radius.

Is it safe?

One of the best things about the Mason Flying Turtle is its ability to provide a thrilling and safe ride. With no sharp edges, there is little likelihood of punctures or cuts, and it is almost impossible to flip it over. Of course, parents should ensure that the manufacturer’s instructions are followed, and children should never use the ride-on near a street, an incline or a body of water that could create a hazard.

Where to find the best ride-on toys for kids of all ages:

And here is the best part – the Flying Turtle can be on its way to a lucky child in just a few clicks at AKidPlace.com, where parents can find the best ride-on toys, as well as thousands of other high-quality items for children, at reasonable prices with fast shipping. Visit us today, and your child could be gliding along the sidewalk in no time with his or her very own sit-skate scooter.

A Morgan Cycle Scooter is Number One in Retro Fun

Have you ever seen a group of kids playing on scooters? Chances are they were a group that was having a whole lot of fun. Fast and sleek, scooters are a great way for kids of all ages to take part in active play. When it comes to this type of toy, though, not all scooters are created equal. When it comes to looks and quality, the cream of the scooter crop is the Morgan Cycle Scooter.

There are a number of things that set Morgan Cycle Scooters apart from your average scooter. The first thing that makes them stand out is the shape of their frame. Instead of the more streamline models that are common today, Morgan scooters venture back to an earlier time. Their sleek, rounded shape will make you think of the scooters that were popular in the thirties. You can bet that your child will stand out when riding along on one of these beautiful toys.

The next thing that makes Morgan Cycle Scooters a cut above is their safety and usability. Not all children are able to handle a scooter with two wheels, which is why these retro scooters have three. Two wheels are used in the back to give added stability. This is helpful for younger boys and girls who are just learning how to get around on a set of wheels. As your child grows, this scooter will grow with them. The handlebars can be adjusted to match different heights for a safe and comfortable ride.

Safety and quality go hand in hand when it comes to kids toys, and the Morgan Cycle Scooter is no exception. These scooters are crafted to be some of the highest quality scooters out there. The old fashioned pressed steel construction is durable enough to stand up to the rigors of active play. Chrome wheels and solid rubber tires are rugged and durable. Finally, the coatings are made of non-toxic materials, so there are no worries about what chemicals might be coming in contact with your children’s skin.

Speaking of coatings, there’s one more thing that really sets Morgan Scooters apart – their colors! The colorful coatings used on these scooters give them a sense of style and personality that’s not always easy to find. No matter what your child’s favorite style or color is, you’ll find something to suit them. Whether they like the classic colors of pink, blue, or red or are interested in silver or red with gold accents, you can find a scooter to please them. If you really want to turn some heads, the Morgan Cycle Pink or Aqua Retro Scooter with Crystals is the way to go. These scooters have almost 400 crystals hand applied to each of them to give them a dazzling sparkle whenever they’re in motion.

Your child is unlike any other child out there. Why not give them a scooter that is just as unique and special as they are? Morgan Cycle Scooters are safe and have a retro flair that really makes them stand out. Your kids will love both their looks and the hours of active play they can engage in with these scooters.
