Ride in style Wilton Bradley 01626 835400 www.wiltonbradley.com Wheeled toys have long been a specialism of the Wilton Bradley team, with many years of experience indeveloping premium products. The company has been creating a real buzz around its new Xootz Ride-On electric wheeled toy range and is working with the best factories to create officially licensed products that are exclusive to them in the UK. The Xootz Bumper Car Electric Ride-On allows little ones aged three-plus to spin a full 360 degrees at speeds of up to 0.75mph. With its simplified joystick controls, there is no assembly required. Simply connect the battery wire and it’s ready to go. Or children can leave a blizzard of bubbles while they zoom along on the Xootz Bubble-Go in pink or blue. Watch their faces light up as they ride along on the three-wheeled scooter and bubbles magically appear! Simply add bubble solution to the front-mounted bubble machine and watch as hundreds of bubbles blow away in the wind behind. The design is simple to control and steer thanks to easygrip handles and an anti-slip footplate, making it ideal for youngsters aged three-plus, with a handlebar that can be adjusted for heights between 64cm-70cm. Finally, growing on the success of the BMW K1300S and Police Motorbike, Wilton Bradley has secured the licence for an eye-catching Ducati. Youngsters can make dad jealous with the Xootz Ducati Panigale 1299RR Electric Ride-On Motorbike. Suitable for kids aged three to seven, this is the closest they will get to the real deal, with official Panigale branding and all the premium features that go into a full-sized bike. Safe and exciting, with a maximum speed of 6.0km/h, this ride-on will quickly become a child’s prized possession.
