Here are a couple of things to bear in mind when buying a ride on toy:

Surface / Terrain - Bear in mind the kind of terrain the ride on toy will be used on. There are ride on toys that can only be used on smooth surfaces or indoors whereas others are multi terrain. Pedal ride ons are best for flat, smooth surfaces too.

Longevitiy - Some ride ons can accommodate kids up to 7 years so they often make a good investment.

There are lots of great pedal ride on toys such as trikes, they are perfect for 3 year olds. They will be at the age where their feet can reach the pedals so they can learn to pedal around. Even before they can pedal most of these toys will allow them to scoot around.

When choosing a pedal ride on toy for a 3 year old you may want to consider the following:

Age range - some pedal ride ons accommodate kids up to 7 years which is good if you want your ride on to last a long time.

Adjustable - obviously you want to make sure your child's feet will reach the pedals and they can ride comfortably. Some ride ons such as trikes may have adjustable handlebars and seats which can be useful as your child grows.

There are lots of battery operated ride on toys for 3 year olds. They are perfect for this age as they don't go very fast (about 2 1/2 to 4 1/2 miles per hour depending on the vehicle). Its good to have a decent sized back yard so there is space for them to drive around.

When choosing an electric powered car, there are quite a few considerations. For example, would you prefer a ride on that can accommodate 2 children or just 1. If they have siblings or friends around often a 2 seater ride on will probably be a better choice.

Also, make sure you have a ride on that will go on the terrain you have where you live. For example, does it need grass or a flat surface.
