The garage is synonymous with “stuff”. It’s where you keep the plastic Christmas tree once the holiday is over, the old ski equipment that never gets used, and all that “stuff” that just doesn’t have a place in the house. Garages are where teenagers flowing with angst rock out with their bands, and they are where dads repair and restore that rusted-out but still sweet 1969 Impala. But garages aren’t just for “stuff” and angst and ’69 swagger, they are also for building bonds that last a lifetime.
More Than Toys
When Nick began Ryder Toys from his garage workshop, his intent was to create a safe, realistic riding toy for his kids. A toy that was an “experience” they would remember for a lifetime, a toy that provided hours of fun for him and his children. Riding toys have been around since the Big Wheel in the 1960s, when little boys and girls would grind the little plastic wheels against the asphalt and ride the neighborhood until the sun set and the streetlights came on. Ryder Toys are all about that same experience—creating that moment where the rider and the toy build memories. Not only that, when the toy arrives at your home, and the hands-on assembly begins, parent and child can spend that time assembling bonds that go beyond that hour in the garage. Every time the rider gets in the Ryder toy, you will both remember the fun of putting the toy together.
More Than Playtime
The inspiration for Ryder Toys may have been riding toys from the 90s, but the purpose of Nick’s vision for the company was that the whole experience—from ordering the toy, building the toy, and taking the toy for a spin—was meant to be shared. Sure, you can spend time alone in the workshop piecing the toy together, but you’re missing the opportunity for a teaching moment with your kids. Beyond building the toy together, once the toy is assembled, and riding time begins, you are guaranteed so much more than a simple playtime.
With riding toys from Ryder, you get the experience of safe, long-lasting, innovative hours outdoors. Sunshine, grassy hills, furrowed trails—and imagination. Taking the model 4×4 Lifted Jeep toy for a spin in the local park is wonderful, but for that child, they are rumbling through the Outback in their Rubicon, scanning the horizon for kangaroos. And in their red model Ford Super Duty truck, they aren’t kicking up dust on the back trails, they’re hauling firewood for the campsite like their dad did last summer in his Ford truck.
Ryder Toys are more than playtime toys; they are rocket fuel for the imagination.
Building Bonds
Piece by piece. Moment by moment. Riding toys from Ryder are meant to build bonds. From unpacking the box to assembling the toy, there are golden minutes to spend with your child. Not only will the child ride the toy, remembering the time and effort that you both put into building the toy, but they will also remember the care and attention they received during that time, too.
And when you’re both out in the park with a model Mercedes G63, on the pack trails with a Monster ATV, on the driveway with a Drift Cart, or sliding down suburban streets in a model Lamborghini Aventator Drift, they will remember how much fun they are having—and you will, too.
Riding toys may have been around for decades, but the time you spend bonding with your child over their innovative and totally awesome Ryder toy will last far longer.
