Perfecting the Art of Conversuasion

Hey Girls, Wanna Ride with Me?

By

Hey there girls, my name is Ryder. I’m a 4-year-old, totally single dude from Ontario, Canada – who just happens to be tall, dark and handsome.

(Oh, and that’s Reid, my brother. He’s only two and Mommy makes me take him everywhere. To tell the truth, sometimes he cramps my style – but I can’t deny Reid’s a fabulous wingman. He’s a ton of fun on playdates and has been known to make girls “ooh” and “ahh” cause he’s so funny looking cute.)

I like chocolate milk, splashing in my kiddie pool and playing with die cast cars. In fact, I normally spend a lot of time making car engine noises and am seeking a playdate who can emulate the sounds effects of a car speeding around a racetrack. Of course, I’m open to suggestions and enjoy a variety of activities: I am quite the artist; have a heavenly voice like Adam Levine, and even dig a good doll.

You may have also noticed that I have my own ride. Yup, it’s pretty sweet. It’s a Signature Cadillac Escalade loaded with luxury features! Fisher-Price sent it to us because Mommy is part of their Play Panel (which is funny because she doesn’t play at all – we do! It’s REALLY awesome).

My Escalade features a real FM radio, see-through windows, chrome wheels and grill, doors that open and close, battery charge indicator, and more! I also have 12-volts of battery power for two speeds forward (2.5 and 5 mph, max.) plus reverse on hard surfaces and grass with a high-speed lock-out for beginners and Power Lock Brake System.

Daddy put my car together in about 2 hours which was great – but Mommy started grumbling when she had to apply the stickers. You see, she’s a perfectionist and wanted them on perfectly, so she spent about 30 minutes in the driveway getting everything just right. Thanks for making my ride awesome, Mommy!

I learned to drive without a permit (I live on the edge like that, girls) but consider myself a safe and conscientious driver who always shares the road.

Disclaimer: I once hit a tree, but that’s only because I didn’t turn my wheel in time. Everyone was okay (we were wearing our seat belts, of course) and the Escalade was just fine without a scratch or dent whatsoever. Love the workmanship, dude!

I love cruising around with the top down and and tunes blaring. I’m looking for a playdate who enjoys long afternoon road trips down by the park, likes to sing nursery rhymes and of course, is sweet and smiley. And if I really dig you, I’ll even let you drive my car.

Until then, it’s just me and my little brother.


I am part of the Fisher-Price Play Panel and I receive special perks as part of my affiliation with this group.

      We haven’t drained the battery yet – normally we take it out for about 20 minute walks, but I’m sure it can go much farther. It’s got great mileage!

    So cute! My kid has a red tractor that he zooms around in. He’s sort of officially too big for it this year, but you should see him – he puts his little arm over the seat, backs up the driveway, around my car, into his little parking spot in the garage. He’s better in reverse than many adults I’ve known! LOL. Not sure who’s going to break it to him next spring when his little sis takes it over! ; )

      That is so sweet I just can’t stand it! Can totally picture your little dude putting his arm over the seat and backing up, LOL!

    LOVE this so much. I have a little blonde living at my house who’d love to come for a spin. Fully chaperoned of course. ;)

    • Lena

      Ah, success! I think your little blonde would be EXACTLY Ryder’s type :) We must set up a play date! xoxo

    Aw, they’re both so cute! I always wanted one of those realistic play cars when I was a kid, but it was never to be.

    Nothing like taking a spin in your Cadillac, simple adventure and that’s what we do for our boys, my son was given a Lamborghini Electric car. So glad he could have one when he is young. He asked me “Mom, can I have a Lamborghini when I get older”, almost choked on my coffee. Stranger things can happen lol.
