Kids Ride on Cars

Choosing a ride-on car for your child

A genuine mix of ride styles

This category brings together several different ways kids can ride - the self-propelled Dino Dash and Sky Rider foot-to-floor ride-ons (both of which clip onto any Step2 Up & Down Roller Coaster track), the four-wheeled Ride Along Scooter in three colourways, and the parent-pushed Push Around Buggy and Push Around Buggy GT Pink. It's less one single product type and more a curated mix of our most popular ride-on styles in one place. As Australia's authorised Step2 distributor, every product here is imported directly from the manufacturer.

Self-propelled or parent-pushed?

The real distinction to make here is independence. The Dino Dash and Sky Rider are foot-to-floor, push and go cars - your child propels themselves by walking while seated, no pushing required. The Ride Along Scooter is also self-propelled, four-wheeled with easy-grip handles for balance. The Push Around Buggy models, by contrast, are steered and pushed by an adult, with your child along for the ride and a pretend steering wheel to hold.

The roller coaster connection

If your family already has, or is considering, a Step2 Up & Down Roller Coaster track, the Dino Dash and Sky Rider ride-ons both clip directly onto it, turning a standalone ride-on into part of a bigger track-based play setup. That's a genuine point of difference from the other ride styles in this category, which are designed for open-ground use rather than a track.

Built to handle rolling, bumping, everyday use

Ride-on cars take constant wheel stress from rolling over paths, driveways and grass, plus the bumps and knocks of active outdoor play. Every product here is made from durable, weather-resistant moulded plastic, backed by Step2's standard 3-year manufacturer's warranty, dispatched within 24 hours from our Melbourne warehouse with tracking on every order, and built to the same safety standards required for the childcare and early-learning centres we also supply.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly will my ride-on car arrive?

Orders leave our Melbourne warehouse within 24 hours, and tracking is included so you can follow delivery every step of the way.

Are these genuine Step2 products, and what warranty applies?

Yes - we're the authorised Australian Step2 distributor, and every product is imported directly from the manufacturer, not a parallel import. Products carry Step2's standard 3-year manufacturer's warranty.

What's the difference between the products in this category?

This category mixes a few different ride styles: the Dino Dash and Sky Rider are self-propelled foot-to-floor ride-ons, the Ride Along Scooter is a four-wheeled, self-propelled design with grip handles, and the Push Around Buggy models are parent-pushed with a pretend steering wheel for your child. Check the specific product page to see which type a given item is.

Can these ride-ons connect to a roller coaster track?

The Dino Dash and Sky Rider foot-to-floor ride-ons both clip onto any Step2 Up & Down Roller Coaster track - the Ride Along Scooter and Push Around Buggy models are standalone and don't connect to the track system.

What age is suitable for a self-propelled ride-on?

Self-propelled foot-to-floor ride-ons and scooters generally suit children who are already walking confidently, since your child does the moving rather than being pushed. Check the specific product page for exact age and weight guidance.

Do any of these come with a working horn or interactive features?

Interactive features vary by model rather than being standard across this whole category - check the specific product page for details on horns, decals or other interactive extras a particular ride-on includes.
