Tractor Toy Buying Guide
Probably most of you really mean a pedal tractor, i.e. one that you can sit on, when you are looking for a toys tractor.
Still, I have included a lot of choices for anyone looking for a fun toy.
Today there are tractors that are made for children.
A child tractor can be a child's first contact with a vehicle suitable for his or her size. It is something that will immediately spark the interest of children and something they may want to climb on right away.
A child can drive around with the tractor for hours, so that Mom and Dad can occasionally find a moment of peace.
In general, pedal tractors can be divided into three categories.
- The smallest stair tractors are designed for children from 2 to 5 years.
- The medium size is for children between 3 and 7 or 8 years
- and the large designs are for kids from 3 to 10 years.
The age of your child is therefore certainly an important factor to take into account when you have such a child toys want to purchase a tractor.
Choose one that suits the child's abilities and that challenges the child to develop and move as well as possible.
These children's tractors are of course designed without an electric motor, but are very similar in design to reality.
You can even buy these children's tractors with a trailer and/or shovel, so the kids can help with gardening.
That makes playing with such a children's tractor extra fun!
Children's tractors are popular toys and, in addition to the pleasant aspect, also have an important role in development.
Pedaling the pedals and steering at the same time are actions that can be experienced as rather difficult by children in the beginning.
However, children will quickly learn these movements. Once they get the hang of it, they won't be able to get rid of it!
Different types and sizes of stair tractors
Children's tractors are available in various types. You can opt for a pedal tractor where the child has to pedal himself to set the tractor in motion.
There are also walking tractors for the smaller children where they can reach the ground with their feet while sitting on the tractor and can move with dragging movements.
What is the best pedal tractor?
Are you looking for such a nice children's tractor? Maybe for your own son or daughter, or as a gift for another child?
It is not always an easy task to find a fun and original birthday present for a child.
A toys tractor is an example of a beautiful gift that a child is guaranteed to enjoy and is suitable for both small and older children.
It is useful to know all the ins and outs of this type when purchasing toys and compare various products in terms of price, design, colors, safety, etc.
It may also be useful to know which children's tractors are considered as good products by satisfied customers, that children can play with in an extremely safe way.

In addition, you can sometimes get lost in the many options and no longer see the forest for the trees.

Very sturdy tractor from Bruder. It is so sturdy that a child can even lean on it and this tractor is also perfect for outdoor work that requires sand to be moved (that's the best kind of outdoor play, right?)

Furthermore, the supplied trailer has a system with a support that you can unfold so that you can tip the trailer over and collect your sand (or other toys) can slide out.

Actually it is all toys by Bruder always made very realistic - with lots of details - and this one toys tractor too.
The front loader is very sturdy and that is because you can put heavy things in the container.

-
From: 1 years
-
Best: 2 – 4 years
-
Up to: 5 years

It is very simple and the ease of use is therefore high. Consideration has been given to the large openings so that small hands can also grasp it. The simple design also encourages open-ended play.
The interactivity is not very high except that it can roll, and also the social interaction is low from a toy like this unless it is combined with other cars or farming toys. That makes it versatile, also considering that it can also be used outside due to the large wheels.
The design is completely aimed at small children, but still looks very nice and perhaps even timeless due to its sturdy wooden construction. It is certainly sustainable and also produced in an environmentally friendly way with FSC-certified wood and rubber tires.

Wood Trick has many more of these types of building kits, all kinds of different designs are discussed.
Playmobil Country Tractor with trailer 70131
- Perfect to expand an existing Playmobil collection
- Because of the size, Playmobil combines best with Playmobil, not so much with other toys
This is just a really fun playset and it's made to take everything in and to be able to transport around the farm.
A nice trailer with a tipper that your child can use in his fantasy game, especially when you also have more playmobil to use with it, also perfect with some 'play corn'.

Playmobil vs Bruder tractors
Here you can see the Playmobil tractor next to Bruder's.
You see, they are about the same size. That doesn't make them suitable for the same age category if you think so.
Playmobil is really for slightly younger children. Although Bruder's tractor is also fun for younger children, you should always be a little careful with children under three.
With force, quite a few pieces can come loose and then be put in their mouths.
With the use of thicker pieces of plastic and larger parts, the Playmobil tractor is more suitable for smaller children, but on the other hand it is also a lot less realistic and more “toys-ish”.

- Nice lights and not too much noise (which is often the case with RC vehicles)
- RC tractor is fun for pretend play but for other things you prefer a car
If you are looking for a good RC tractor, then you can't go wrong with Siku . tractors, and the Fendt is the most popular, because of its green and red wheels and its iconic look.
If you like Bruder's tractors, you'll love Siku. I always call it the little brother of the Bruder tractors, but more because they are 1:32 instead of 1:16 like most Bruder toy vehicles.

This sturdy green tractor with trailer for the little ones - from 1 year old - comes with music, can say a number of phrases about the farm and make animal sounds.
There are push buttons on the tractor and you can also press the driver's seat to hear the sounds.

There are three friends who travel on the tractor and in the trailer: the farmer drives the tractor and the sheep and pig are in the back. You can also disconnect the trailer to play with the tractor alone.
Why do I like this tractor so much? While your child is driving the tractor, fun songs can be heard. Your little one also stimulates his gross motor skills while playing and after all, the farm theme is considered an educational theme as it stimulates the imagination of children. Furthermore, the tractor is solid and suitable for little fingers.
