The PlanToys Chicken Racing Car brings vintage track dynamics to the playroom floor. Unlike rigid wooden vehicles, this racer features a flexible suspension system that allows it to lean and turn, mimicking the movement of a real vintage racer. The heavy, solid feel of the PlanWood body gives it satisfying momentum, encouraging toddlers to put their whole body behind the push. From 12 months, it becomes a key motivator for gross motor development. Whether they are crawling behind it or squat-walking to drive it across the room, the responsive movement rewards their effort and builds coordination.

Engineered for Small Hands

Most wooden cars just roll in a straight line, but this racer brings a new layer of physics to play. The axle design allows the car to lean into turns, giving toddlers immediate feedback on how their hand pressure changes the car's path. Measuring approximately 18cm in length, the curved vintage chassis is sized perfectly for a 'power grip'—the full-fisted grasp that toddlers use before developing finer finger control.

Sustainable Sensory Play

PlanToys are famous for their unique material, PlanWood—a high-density composite made from rubberwood sawdust and non-toxic glue. The result is a toy that feels heavier and smoother than standard timber, with zero risk of splinters. It's highly water-resistant and dyed with organic pigments, making it safe for the inevitable 'tasting' phase that happens during play.

A Motivation to Move

This is a 'chase' toy. The smooth wheels and weighted body carry momentum well, rolling further than lightweight plastic alternatives. This encourages children to crawl, shuffle, or walk to catch up with it, extending their periods of active movement. The fixed chicken character adds a storytelling element, turning a simple push-toy into a character that needs to be driven to a destination. For a racing partner, pair it with the PlanToys - Bunny Racing Car.
