Abstract
A child's riding toy of an overall "scooter" type configuration. A longitudinally orientated vehicle body having supporting wheels at the forward and rear ends thereof is adapted to support one of the knees of the child riding thereon. An outrigger portion extends laterally from the side of the body and is provided with a third wheel so as to enable three-point rolling support for the vehicle. Separate handles are provided above the forward and outrigger wheels such that the child may simultaneously grasp both such handles while supporting his body in a forward leaning position above the vehicle while the unsupported leg is available for propulsion. The forward wheel is capable of limited pivoted movement with respect to the vehicle body such that the child may steer the vehicle through a variety of exciting turning maneuvers.
