Did you know we have outdoor toys to rent? Our selection of bikes, trikes and Little Tikes cars are perfect to take home and for your little one to try out something new. Try one before you decide on that big Christmas present!

Riding a bike is a great form of exercise for kids and helps develop their independence. There is also so much room for extended play - why not set up a 'bike wash' station, use red and green stop go signs, or play with others to encourage turn taking and language and communication skills.
