Abstract
A toy vehicle device includes a toy vehicle and a vehicle track in the form of a belt having a buckle that releasably retains the vehicle on an outwardly facing surface thereof. The buckle further includes a propulsion mechanism for propelling the vehicle from the buckle along the length of an upwardly facing surface of the belt. Thus, the belt may normally be worn around the waist of the user, with the vehicle secured to the buckle, so that the belt functions in a conventional manner to support the user's pants. When it is desired to use the belt as a toy, a belt end is detached from the buckle, the belt is removed from the user's waist, and the vehicle is actuated to move along the belt. The buckle further includes additional retainers for retaining the belt in various configurations to enhance the use of the belt as a track for the vehicle.
