Rocking toys & baby ride-ons

Our rocking horses & our vintage children's car ride-ons

A Carrier, Pusher the Difference ?
 
These products are designed to teach toddlers how to move without the risk of falling, getting hurt and feeling unnecessary fear. The goal of the carrier is to allow the baby to feel comfortable while moving around, whether inside the house or outside.
 
• Baby carrier : the carrier is an educational toy on wheels designed for children who are beginning to learn to walk, providing the balance and body stability that they lack at the beginning of their lives.
 
The child sits astride his carrier and propels himself using the strength of his legs, without external assistance. It is important to differentiate the baby carrier, the walker and the pusher.
 
• The baby pusher, also called a walking cart, looks like a walker adapted for toddlers. Equipped with four wheels and a rear support, it helps the child to stand and move around.
 
Why buy a baby carrier ?
 
Buying a carrier offers several advantages, including serving as a fun aid for learning to walk.
 
The Carrier has an undeniable psychological impact !
 
These educational games help children develop their autonomy by exploring the geometry of the space around them. Their main objective is to strengthen their self-confidence. They contribute to the development of their self-esteem, the discovery of their body's capabilities, the resolution of small everyday obstacles and the discovery of the world in its reality. The baby carrier is a toy that promotes both the psychological development and the balance of the child.
 
Using a carrier promotes enriching bodily development. It offers the opportunity to test various positions, explore new movements, use the muscles and become familiar with the concept of balance !
 
Parents will see the difference when switching from the carrier to the tricycle. Learning to ride a baby between 12 and 24 months makes it easier to use pedaling (tricycle) as a means of transportation.
 
A baby who discovers the baby ride-on for the first time will surely be impressed by the space around him, and falls are possible at first. If your child has not used the baby ride-on from the beginning of learning to walk, it is advisable to be closer to him when he starts using the tricycle.
 
For the baby ride-on, what material should you choose ? Wood, metal or plastic ?
 
Plastic ride-on
 
The plastic ride-on remains the lightest toy, in fact, this lightness can please children because it is easier to handle. The price remains affordable to purchase and possibly allows its renewal if necessary.
 
On the other hand, the weaknesses of the plastic ride-on lie in :
 
- Insufficient stability of the toy (the morphology of the child must be considered before purchase) ;
 
- some plastics have uneven resistance to weather conditions, and although some PVCs are of good quality, they can deteriorate quickly under the effect of the sun and bad weather, which can lead to the need to replace the toy more quickly.
 
Wooden ride-on or walker
 
The wooden ride-on remains the toy with the most ecological approach possible, it remains with metal the most solid and most eco-responsible toy.
 
But be careful, some imported wooden ride-ons (China, India, etc.) may not be entirely in line with ecological responsibility, especially in terms of transport (boat or plane).
 
When purchasing, you should always choose a toy made of French Jura wood for example or from Franche-Comté (a region of wood par excellence).
 
La Ruche des Passions gives you the information, French-made toys are classified in the French Games & Toys section.
 
We always recommend wooden games and toys because the first contacts with a natural material will always be preferable to plastic.
 
Metal carrier
 
For a complete offer, we also offer metal carriers. However, the logic of sustainable development differs here. These carriers are generally manufactured in China and transported by boat or plane, which has an unfavorable ecological impact.
 
However, the metal carrier will be almost indestructible so compared to plastic the solidity advantage is more interesting.
 
Some criteria for choosing a carrier
 
A baby carrier (child carrier), do not necessarily take into account the price first even if it can be an important criterion. Take into account the raw material of the carrier, its dimensions (even if many products are identical in their design), the baby because of its small size, pay attention to the seat so that it can put its feet flat on the ground.
 
Finally, choose wood or metal rather than plastic. Every act of purchase has an impact on the environment.
