Bobby Car Next with lights, comfort, and horn: the ride-on toy with a new look

The Bobby Car is one of the best-known toys in German-speaking countries. Generations of children have grown up with it, and even today the vehicle is still a fixture in many children's rooms. At the trade fair, Elke Braun presents the latest model, the “Bobby Car Next” – a modernized version with new features that enhance both its play value and its suitability for everyday use. The Bobby Car Next is more than just a simple ride-on toy: with new features such as lights, a horn, and a padded seat, it offers modern comfort while remaining true to the tried-and-tested concept. The classic has been technically revised, but remains recognizable in its basic form. For parents and children alike, the Bobby Car Next offers a successful combination of nostalgic driving fun and innovative extras.

Lighting and touch sensor: visibility in the dark

One of the most important new features of the Bobby Car Next is the standard lighting. This is activated via an integrated touch sensor and can be switched off just as easily. This makes the vehicle visible even in poor lighting conditions and expands its range of uses – whether at dusk, in the hallway, or in darker weather. The light not only adds to the play value, but also increases safety. Especially when the Bobby Car is used indoors or on outdoor excursions, the lighting offers real added value. The sensor is easily accessible and responds reliably to touch.

More comfort thanks to a soft seat and quiet whisper tires

In addition to the lighting, the new seat also provides additional comfort. The Bobby Car Next has a soft foam seat that is removable and easy to clean. This makes the vehicle suitable for longer trips indoors or outdoors. The so-called whisper tires ensure a quiet ride. These are coated with a special rubber that protects floor coverings and significantly reduces driving noise. This means that the Bobby Car can also be used in homes with sensitive floors – without leaving marks, scratches, or loud noises. The steering wheel has also been ergonomically designed. It fits comfortably in the hand and enables safe, controlled driving – an important aspect for small children in the development of their motor skills.

Additional functions for greater play value

In addition to its comfort features, the Bobby Car Next also offers functional enhancements that encourage role play. Particularly noteworthy is the integrated trunk. This is located under the seat and is easy to open. Children can store small items there that are important to them while playing – from toys to secret treasures. Another highlight is the electronic horn with realistic engine sound. Typical sounds can be played at the touch of a button, making the driving experience even more authentic. This turns the Bobby Car into an interactive toy that combines acoustic and visual stimuli.

• Non-slip steering wheel for safe maneuvering

Robust design for children and adults

The Bobby Car Next is aimed at children aged approximately one to seven years. Thanks to an integrated knee well, larger children can also continue to use the vehicle. The shape remains ergonomic, supporting physical development, especially in the hip area. The model's high load capacity is interesting. Officially approved for up to 50 kilograms, it can even withstand up to 100 kilograms, according to experience from the Bobby Car Sports Association. This means that it is also occasionally used by adults – either for fun or for promotions at trade fairs and events. In fact, there are cases where adults have used the Bobby Car in everyday life – for example, as a humorous means of transportation at work. Its sturdy construction and ease of use make such applications possible.

Conclusion: Proven quality with contemporary features

With the Bobby Car Next, the manufacturer is launching a further development that is clearly geared towards the needs of modern families. Lights, a horn, a trunk, and comfort features such as the foam seat and whisper tires make the vehicle versatile – at home, in the garden, or on the road. The Bobby Car Next remains true to the principle of success, but adds useful, child-friendly features. The recommended retail price is around $100—an amount that seems reasonable given the quality and durability offered. So if you're looking for a robust, functional, and child-friendly vehicle that promotes fun and exercise, the Bobby Car Next is the right solution for you.
