 Topic: Ride-ons
Posted: 07 December 2007 at 2:38pm |
When did your toddlers learn how to ride a ride-on? Ashleigh still can't figure it out. We were practising just before and whenever she held on to the handle she would push herself with her hands and go sliding off the back of the seat  I was trying to figure out if they ride 1 foot at a time, walking action or both feet at once when they first start?

I was very supprise that rhyley has figured out already how to push himself forward on his ride on. Not very fast mind you but I am sure once they figure it out they take off...

It took Ollie a little while to figure out what to do with a ride on. He sed to just sit on it and get off or push it around from behind. It wasn't until he saw another boy his age ride it that it seemed to click. He would have been 15-16 months.

yeah i think it helps watching other kids using ride-ons.....jack got one for his 1st birthday, but he didn't really use it properly til he was about 2-2.5yrs. he didn't walk until 18mths though but i think watching others at daycare on them helped. he started by using both legs at once and going backwards, then we helped him by moving his legs forward and eventually he got there.
charli has been using jack's ride-on for a few weeks now, going forwards VERY slowly but she goes backwards really well

Jack has only just got it, he used to walk with the ride on dragging between his legs or go backwards.

McKayla got one for christmas last year and she wasnt too sure about it. But that was just after her first birthday. It was at about 13 months that she got the action right. For a day she went with both feet at the same time and then right after that she just sorted herself out.
Dont stress too much about it at all.
