There’s no denying that ride-on-toys are a fantastic investment for children. In fact, the global market for these fun accessories was worth a staggering $142.5 billion by the end of 2023¹!
At Kiddies Kingdom, we love helping our customers select the best ride-on-toys that can unlock the imagination of their little ones. We only stock the best products available, which is why Peg Perego is a fixture in many of our collections. However, we still often get asked how Peg Perego ride-on-toys compare to competitors’ available products.
In this article, we will answer that question by examining the factors we think buyers should consider when selecting a ride-on toy in detail and assessing how the Peg Perego collection compares to them.
What Are the Benefits of Choosing Ride-On-Toys for Children?
Before we turn the ignition on our Peg Perego comparison, it’s firstly important to consider the purpose of ride-on-toys in the first place. By understanding the purpose of these interactive toys, we think it’s easier to obtain a clear view of what benefits really make a difference.
Ride-on-toys offer a brilliant way to engage children all at once. Whether parents are looking for an activity that can keep little ones busy whilst they work from home or a source of fun is being looked for, these toys are a fantastic solution. Interactive ride-on-toys are known for offering multi-sensory development, which is why they are so great at capturing attention. This means that they enhance the development of hearing, sight, movement and touch.
Another benefit for children is an increase in confidence as ride-on-toys encourage independent and explorative play. Many studies show that children who are able to play independently tend to score higher in terms of emotional control, social skills and self-regulation². Ride-on-toys are also fantastic as improving cognitive development in terms of decision making skills. Children have to not only consider how the toy works, but make choices about how they use it and what areas they visit.
Finally, due to the broad selection of ride-on toys available, there are options for a variety of ages and development levels. This not only means parents can easily find toys ideal for their child but that the investment can last for years as a child grows.
What Ride-On-Toys Are Available From Peg Perego?
Peg Perego is a brand known for offering safe products that parents can rely on. In addition to a broad collection of ride-on toys, childcare accessory experts are also known for their pushchairs (both the Veloce and Vivace collections), highchairs, and car seats.
When it comes to the selection of ride-on-toys available, Peg Perego is known for creating realistic products that mimic everyday travel solutions. This element is important as it ensures imaginative play is combined with education. By enhancing cognitive development in this way, children can start to make connections with the real world, and they are also proven to offer longer engagement periods as children get older.
Some of the most popular ride-on-toys from Peg Perego include the John Deere collection, which offers utility trucks, tractors and ground loaders. Matching the same branding and style as real-life models, this collection is ideal for transporting children straight to the farm, no matter their location.
Another popular design is the Peg Perego Polaris Ranger RZR Electric Ride On Buggy, which has the same design as an off-roading vehicle. Suitable for children aged 6 and up, the buggy features the same robust components as the full-size version thanks to off-roading wheels, a secure harness, a working radio and multiple gears. The Peg Perego Desmosedici Evo Motorbike is another example of a product designed to mimic popular full-size modes of transport. It even has a working horn, lights and in-build motor sounds to add to children’s experience.
Aspects to Consider When Comparing Ride-On-Toys
Peg Perego ride-on-toys offer a broad collection of products representing quality in every feature. This means they are often placed above competitor products in comparisons thanks to the finer detail in finishing touches. There are, however, some other aspects we believe should be considered when making a fair comparison.
Power
A quality ride-on-toy should be easy to charge, have a range of speeds and offer a simple charging method.
The most popular type of battery for ride-on-toys is either a 12V or 24V model. Some smaller toys include lesser voltage power sources, which means they can run out quicker and offer less of an experience for the child. While Peg Perego uses the same types of batteries as some of its competitors, it’s important to consider that its toys include various power-assist features and ergonomic designs, which means extended usage. The brand is also known for how ride-on-toys use power efficiently, leading to a longer session of play before a recharge is required.
Safety
Peg Perego ride-on toys are designed to be used off-terrain. This is supported by more developed safety features than traditional competitor products. From adjustable harnesses to auto-braking systems, the products ensure that young users are kept safe at all times. It’s also not just the safety features that make Peg Perego a reliable option but the way that vehicles are designed to handle different terrains.
Most ride-on toys are intended for only flat surfaces, whereas the Peg Perego ones can handle anything from gravel to sand. The toys have been designed with the same ergonomic considerations as the full-size duplicate, greatly enhancing safety. They are also easy to use which also improves safety as it means children of various ages can play without risk.
Selection of Products
If you are looking for a realistic ride-on-toy, Peg Perego products are some of the best around. Not only does the company have the rights to replicate well known designs, but they have a range of models ideal for different ages and preferences.
However, if you are looking for a selection of ride-on toys with more ‘childlike’ designs, it may be a good idea to look at other products.
The additional accessories available are unique to Peg Perego’s selection of products. Products like the John Deere Dual Force Trailer and the Adventure Trailer offer a way to further enhance creative play. These are also designed to fit securely and be simply to move around ensuring children can get even more out of their ride-on-toys.
Reasons To Select Peg Perego Ride-on-Toys
- Superior Construction – While some competitor products do also prioritise design and ergonomics, Peg Perego toys are known for their robust designs and suitability for off-terrain usages. This means all toys are sturdy and intended to stand the test of time even when being used to their max.
- Lifespan—Not only do Peg Perego ride-on toys stand the test of time, but there is also a healthy resale market. Whether you want to pass the toy down through generations or pass it on when a child has outgrown the design, there are plenty of appealing options available.
- Pricing – Although Peg Perego items do have a higher price tag, this is warranted thanks to the superior designs and selection of features. There are also a range of models available to suit different budgets. Furthermore, many of the ride-on-toys can be used by different ages removing the need for new models to be purchased with every growth phase. Our selection ranges in price from £75 to £1075 showcasing the wide variety of options available.
- Unique Features – While some of the features are also included in competitor products, Peg Perego are known for going the extra mile with finishing touches. Additions including working radios, electronic dashboards and cup holders are all examples of the special features Peg Perego products include to further enhance the realism of items.
- Extras – As mentioned, there is a range of additional products available to further enhance play. This ensures that any new products offer parents the same peace of mind in knowing that safety can be maintained during any type of play.
