It seems that no matter what age you are, the Noddy car is one of the best memories of your childhood. It says a lot about the enduring quality of the character that he remains as loved and respected today as he did since he was first created. Fashions and times have changed wildly in the intervening years but children are still enthralled in the stories of Noddy, Big Ears and all the gang. If your loved one is a big fan of Noddy, they would love to get the opportunity to drive around in a car similar to the one their hero drives.

Children are sticklers for detail and will be able to spot fake products a mile off. This is why the inclusion of neat little touches like the Noddy licence plate works so well. It is the sort of thing an inquisitive child’s mind would notice so knowing that their Noddy car is built to the same features and specifications as the one they watch on TV, will make driving it all the more special. Children are undoubtedly some of the hardest consumers to please and manufacturers know they have to get everything right in order to satisfy their attention to detail.

As fun as the Noddy car looks, it is important that it has a number of safety features with one of the most important features being the padded seat. No matter what terrain or surface the car goes over, there are likely to bumps, causing them to bump up and down. This may be unsettling but a padded seat will help to take some of the unsettling element out of the dream, making for a far more comfortable experience. As it is likely to be a young child enjoying the Noddy car, they will be more susceptible to any bumps so making the ride comfortable for them is a great asset for the car.

There is also a big plastic bumper at the front of the Noddy car which will help absorb any bumps or scrapes the vehicle may get into. It wouldn’t be enough for a real life car but given that the car is only likely to be used in the garden or a waste land area, it should be sufficient to keep everyone safe from harm. It will also make the car even more realistic with respect to the one that children know and love.

Another safety aspect comes in the fact that the car is powered along by a chain driven pedal system. This means its speed is very much dependent on the ability of the driver to get some pace going in their movement. This should help keep the pace at a reasonable level but it should also mean the child gets a vigorous workout. There are concerns that children do not get enough exercise these days so having a car that they have to pedal to move is one way of giving them a workout. The best thing is that the child will not even realise they are having a workout; they will just think they are having fun.
