Product Overview
The Little People Music Parade Ride-On combines a sturdy ride-on toy with a full musical activity center for ages 1, 3. A light-up keyboard plays any of five marching tunes or switches to play mode for creating custom melodies. Interactive instruments include drum, cymbal, and a removable trumpet that add layered sounds to the musical play. An ignition button starts the engine sound, then revs it with a second press. Extra-wide wheels provide added stability during rides, and a convenient push handle lets caregivers guide younger toddlers who are still building their walking skills.
