Kids and parents alike love tough toys that will stand up to rough play.

And that’s  just what you are going to  get with this great looking KidKraft Harley Davidson Roaring Softail Rocker.

Sure there are all sorts of different rocking horses out there but how many of them come with a sound chip that reproduces that distinctive V-Twin rumble?  Your kid will be able to take to the great open road on his or her very own Harley replica bike.

This is a great little rocking horse.

First things first. It’s stable. The wide stance and anti tip base of the 2 rockers means you won’t have to worry about the entire thing tipping over when your kid tucks in to a swooping tight turn on the asphalt.

The entire thing is built out of wood. So it’s heavy and durable, weighing in at about 25 pounds.

This is a rocker that a child can grow into. It’s good for all kids aged 3 to 8.

The Harley rocker comes with a lot of detail. The bike has a great set of mirrors, a headlight, plush seat, a fantastic orange and black paint scheme as well as Harley decals.

This isn’t just some toy that’s designed to look like a generic motorcycle. It’s patterned off the Harley Softail model, one of the company’s most popular bike frames.

What We Like:

• We love the low center of gravity. There’s no need to worry about it tipping over during play.

• The attention to detail is amazing, from the cushy seat down to the paintwork detailing the V-Twin engine. This rocker is a real eye catcher.

• Finally the price can’t be beat. The Harley rocker has so many little added features like the sound chip that make it so much more than just another rocking horse.

BUY NOW and give your child a gift they will get hours of fun from.

Nothing is more nostalgic than a classic motorcycle.

Indian was once one of the storied names in bikes. They had a flair and style to them that was unrivaled by any other manufacturer.

The signature flare fenders made the Indian instantly recognizable.

Now it’s possible to recreate that look and get your kids interested in the classic bikes. The Limited Edition Indian Motorcycle is a true replica of a great bike from a bygone era.

What makes this toy such a great product is the painstaking attention to detail.  It has all the flair features of the classic bike including gold trim and working head and tail lights. It even includes a certificate of authenticity as well as a unique license plate.

It’s safe for kids ages 2-6 and up to 100 pounds. The unit moves along at 2 miles per hour both in forward and reverse. It’s powered by a rechargeable battery pack so your child can get hours of enjoyment zooming around the yard.

The Indian is built super strong and will stand up to the abuse of being shifted from forward to reverse and back repeatedly.

The bike even comes with a lifelike motorcycle sound and horn to enhance play time.

There’s no need to worry about balance with this bike. It has unobtrusive training wheels built into the back to keep your kid safe and stable.

What We Like:

• This is a sharp bike. The small touches are what make it so amazing. Except for its small size you’d swear you were looking at an original 1948 Indian.

• We love having a battery pack. It makes life much less complicated than having to constantly swap out a bunch of batteries. It just has to be plugged in for a few hours and it’s ready to go.

• The price for this Indian is unbelievable. It has a lot of detail built in to a great affordable package.

BUY the Limited Editon Indian motorcycle and give your kids hours of pleasure.

Hard to believe, isn’t it.   Barbie is 50 years old. And doesn’t she look fantastic for her age.  If only we all weathered as well.

It only seems like yesterday my girls were playing with their beachtime Barbie dolls back in the 60′s and now she is 50 ( and they are in their 40′s).

To celebrate this awesome event Robert Best has designed a beautiful 50th Anniversary Barbie Glamor doll  for the Gold Label Collection.

And when you think about it, this is quite an achievement for a doll to be as popular today as it was way back 50 years ago when it was first released.

This lovely glamor doll is a remake of the fashion featured on the original 1959 doll with a modern day update to meet the look of today’s glamor fashion.

Any Barbie doll collector will certainly want to add the 50th Anniversary Barbie Glamour Doll to their collection.

Whether you BUY HER for yourself or for a Barbie doll enthusiast friend, this is one collectible that will take pride of place in any Barbie Collection.

And here are some other Barbie dolls that you may have missed.
