Traditional ride-ons

There's an enormous range of ride-on toys available, but you need not overlook the traditional kind completely in favour of the more gadget-loaded styles, because a child's imagination is the only extra requirement here.

The Combi Car with digger front from Holtz Toys can be ridden as a digger or as a crane by exchanging the fronts. The Combi Car is made from beech wood with steel axles that will withstand outdoor as well as indoor use, but it should be stored dry. The handles on the digger and the crane (an optional extra) can be turned to operate a lifting mechanism. An add-on trailer is also available. The Combi Car measures 75cm in length and is priced 150. The add-on crane front is 35cm high and is priced 55; the trailer is 54cm in length and is priced 70.
