For more than 25 years, Breakstone, White & Gluck has represented those who have been injured or killed by defective products which should have never been sold. This holiday season, our Boston personal injury lawyers are committed to helping consumers make informed buying decisions to prevent toy-related injuries. While the Huffy Pro Thunder comes in 3rd place, it’s still a decent bike for riding around the neighborhood. Additionally, its minimum seat height is the smallest of any of the three, so a younger, shorter rider can still touch the ground with his tippy toes. Our 6-year-old tester chose to ride this bike on many occasions and zipped happily up and down the street.
Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. The acceleration pedal on the battery-operated ride-on toys can stick, posing fall and crash hazards. Be cautious when buying, even with push or pedal ride-on toys, because you are trusting these toys to support your child. Bikes under $100 are easy on the pocket book, but not always the easiest and safest to ride. The Kent Chaos is your best bet for a boy’s bike in this price range.

They have sample parent-to-kid safety contracts, and many easy-to-follow assembly videos for every product that they offer. They even have a full resource center with so much for their consumers. With this concept, we tried to show practical applications of motion instead of teaching them the theory behind it. Even though some top-selling toys are themed on space, dynacraft bike in the ride-on category, it is not as popular. The client was however very interested in some of the initial concepts that we created, popular among which were the ideas of moving parts & the concept of motion. We thought, how can we take the essence of what intrigues children about space (sense of adventure and the unknown) and apply those principles to motion.
The worst offender here is the Kent Chaos, which is a beast in the weight department. Dynacraft’s Despicable Me three-piece line includes the Minion Bike (4-to-8 years old; SRP $89.99) that features a fun Minion shield and the bike accessory of the year… the Fart Blaster noisemaker. The Minion 3-Wheeled Scooter (3-to-5 years old; SRP $49.99) has fun motion-activated lights and authentic Minion sound effects.
As a next step, we developed new concepts that focused on these aspects. We started by looking at buying behaviors & voiced grievances that users showed when buying toys. We then interacted with parents to find out more about the problems they faced and the things they desired from their products.
With a longer wheelbase, our testers found the Kent Chaos to be the smoothest ride because they had sufficient room to ride, no crowding of legs! Its mid-rise handlebars allowed their arms to extend properly and maintain proper control of the bike. Although this bike is by far the heaviest, if you have a confident rider, at this price point the smooth ride outweighs the heaviness. However, if you have a timid rider, heavy bikes will always be more difficult for them to get and maintain balanced.

Ride on toys have come such a long way from the big wheel bike when I was a kid. There is now so much innovation, technology, and little added details that make riding toys much more of an epic adventure. We love the way that the industry has grown as much as our child’s imaginations. Dynacraft’s Hello Kitty Karaoke Kar sturdy and perfectly cute 6V electric car truly represents the collision of technology, innovation and fashion. Boasting a built-in MP3 input with cord, speakers and microphone, riders can rock the road tunes and sing along to any of their favorite songs stored on a connected phone or music player. The fashion-forward pink vehicle delivers true Hello Kitty style, from its molded kitty bucket seat with seatbelt to its custom graphics and “chrome” accents on its wheels and grills.
