*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Long before electric cars were for adults, they were made for kids. That's right, the hybrid cars just breaking into the market today come decades after the first battery-powered ride on toy for kids, created as a 'modern' version of the classic pedal car, which first hit the sidewalks of America not long after the first automobiles hit the road. Those kid-sized electric cars were simply the logical follow-up of pedal cars, which became wildly popular in the 1950s and 1960s.
Ultimately, if you�re interested in buying a pedal car or electric ride-on toy for your child, you may have a lot of things to consider. The primary point of decision should be whether or not you want your child to get a little bit of extra exercise. These days, what parent could turn that down? With childhood obesity rates on the rise in the United States, it�s probably not a bad idea to promote a little bit of extra exercise for your kids.
If you�re not making your decision primarily on behalf of your child�s health, you may also be interested in making the decision based on what is best for the environment or for your pocketbook. Batteries of all sorts have to be thrown away, thus damaging the environment. Besides, if you have to keep buying batteries for your child�s electric car, that car becomes the gift that keeps on taking.
What about the aesthetic look of the toy? While both types of ride-on toys � those powered by a battery, as well as those powered by your child's feet � are made to resemble classic cars of all varieties, from a muscle car to a John Deere tractor. In recent years there have also been a variety of electric and pedal cars that capitalize on various movies and TV shows. Both electric cars and pedal cars are designed to appeal to your child�s preferences. There's no doubt that you�ll be able to find one that fits your child's desires perfectly.
Another consideration is how often your child might use the car. Battery-operated toys, as any parent knows, will eventually wear out. Plus, they're often made with quite a bit of plastic, unlike pedal cars which are typically made with all-metal construction that is sure to stand the test of time. In fact, there are plenty of vintage pedal cars still around that date to the 1950s, but the same can't be said of the first battery-powered versions of the 1960s and 1970s. If you want a toy that your child might even be able to pass on to their own children in a few decades, then a metal pedal car makes a wise investment.
Ultimately, there seem to be more advantages to the pedal car than the electric car. Logically speaking, it seems more appropriate to purchase a pedal car for your child than an electric car. Considering the ongoing cost of batteries, the environmental impact, and the loss of physical exercise for your child, it seems a much better choice to invest in a pedal car than a battery-operated one.
