Summer Fun with Skitter Ride on Toys! *Review & Giveaway*

I was just introduced to a fun ride on toy for kids. It is called a Skitter. Well, I say for kids, but the Skitter is good for ages 18 months all the way to 81 years.

History

We are an American Company based in Southern California owned by parent company WCNGroup. SkitterToys is the original Online Toy Store that retails exclusively the Skitter ride on toy car since 2003. We have upgraded wheels, spare parts, toy awards, education, safety, events and many, many testimonies from Skitter fans from all over the country including including Alaska and Hawaii.

Skitter_blue_sHow is the Skitter different from other ride on toys that are similar?

As the original online source for the best toy, we continue to test all similar ride on toys to the Skitter and discuss in more detail in our FAQs and Counterfeits pages. But we do not want to waste your time on why other toy stores sell the Plasma Car or similar looking ride on toys, we just want to continue providing you with the Superior Customer service, price and ride on toy for kids today, the Skitter.

How about toy safety?

We have been assured by our manufacturer that our products are Lead Free. As our loyal customers know, we are parents first and safety is our number priority. Our children play on their Skitters daily, not just because we have them, but they truly enjoy the best ride on toy in the world.

What ages is the Skitter for?

We have seen kids as young as 18 months all the way up to an 81 year old Grandmother. From our experience, kids ages 2 and up enjoy the Skitter. We used to give our recommendation for what colors girls like and what colors boys like, at this point we have given up. We try to encourage the buyer to find out what colors the child likes then make the choice. Having the upgraded wheels not only adds significant performance but also another color choice.

Here is a video of Tucker’s first time on the Skitter. He is still learning it and really enjoys it!

I like the Skitter because of the way it is made. Kambry is 20 months old and can ride on it, as well as Tucker, who is almost 4, can ride on it as well. The kids will push off with their feet, while turning the steering wheel handle, which gives them more power to go forward.

The Skitter is available in 6 colors. This is becoming a favorite in our house with the kids!

    My kids have one and today at the park my oldest whom is 10, over 5 feet tall and 110 lbs, had a wheel break. First problem in over 2 years while riding just about everyday. They are a hit at every park and I would love one for my youngest. Thanks so much.

    My niece would LOVE the pink one. Finally a riding toy where her brother’s longer legs would not give him an advantage.

    The skitter is amazing! It looks like something that all my kids would love to play with! Cool how it goes by just moving the wheel back and forth!

    I like that they are an American Company so there won’t be any problems with the paint! Cool, fun colors. Thanks for the chance.

    I love all the different colors giving kids a choice like we have paint colors on our cars. I also like that parents can try out this toy too.
