Our wooden and plush animal ride on toys are designed for children aged 12 months / 1 year and upwards. Every child develops at a different pace, so parents, grandparents and other adult family members are the best judges of readiness. Whether your little one is hugging or riding, our wooden animal ride on toys support their cognitive, emotional and physical development as they explore and grow.
Yes. All our ride on toys for toddlers are independently tested to ASTM and EN71 toy safety standards based on 12 months+. This includes mechanical, flammability and toxicity testing to ensure your child’s safety. However, please remember that adult supervision is always recommended for safe play.
Our sturdy wooden frames provide a strong, stable base, while the soft plush animal bodies offer comfort and security. Low-to-the-ground seats let toddlers gain balance, coordination and confidence as they push, scoot and explore. In no time, they’ll be playfully zooming around- building motor skills naturally!
Yes. The seats are made from wipe-clean leatherette and most fabrics are durable polyester plush, so little spills are easily managed. Simply wipe with a damp cloth to keep your wooden ride on toy looking fresh and ready for play.
Every Little Bird Told Me ride on toy is built with a strong wooden frame and robust castor wheels. We recommend a maximum rider weight of 20 kg for everyday use, but each toy is independently tested to EN 71 (Europe/UK) and ASTM (USA) toy safety standards, including a static load of 50 kg on the seat and stability tests that check for tipping or rolling hazards. This ensures your toddler’s ride on toy is built for strength, stability and long-lasting safety.
A small amount of assembly is required – typically just attaching the legs to the body. All tools and fittings are supplied, along with a clear instruction manual. Assembly takes around 10 minutes, so your wooden animal ride on is ready to go in no time.
As a boutique British brand, we don’t mass-produce. Our UK-designed ride on toys are individually assembled and hand-finished by skilled makers using precision woodworking and sewing equipment for the wooden frames and plush fabrics. We’ve worked with the same trusted factory for almost 20 years, which is regularly audited to ensure responsible and ethical standards. Our packaging is recyclable and we minimise plastic wherever possible.
