Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for toddlers? From ride-on cars and small trampolines to swings and indoor climbing ladders, we have safe, fun, and engaging toys that toddlers will love. Our guide helps parents find the best outdoor and indoor play options for little ones, keeping them active, happy, and entertained.
Ride-On Cars for Toddlers
We all know that most toddlers are fascinated by any moving vehicle, such as cars, fire engines or police cars. Imagine if they got the chance to mimic mum and dad by driving around in their own car! That must be the ultimate Christmas gift for toddlers!
12V Small Ride-On Cars for Toddlers
Our top recommendations for a 12V ride-on car for a 2-year-old Christmas gift are:
-
Licensed 12V Mercedes G63 G Wagon - Available in black or white and with all the telling Mercedes details and realistic drive feel. With the revving engine sound and proper LED headlights, your child will love this as their first car! This has been a top seller in the UK 2025 toddler electric ride-on car category.
-
Licensed 12V Lamborghini Urus Available in black, white or pink and with upgraded luxury leather seats. This lightweight, stylish ride-on also comes with the parent remote control and a carry handle for easy transportation.
Role-Playing Ride-ons for Toddlers
-
Dodge Ram Police Car or Fire Truck - If your child is on the upper end of the toddler phase, they might love one of our 24V Licensed Dodge Ram vehicles, available as a police car or a fire truck. Both have realistic sirens and lights, perfect for those role-playing moments.
-
Dirt Traxx Construction Ride-ons - You can choose between the Gator-style tipper buggy with a real electric tipping function, 4-wheel drive and a shovel. Or why not the very popular digger with a functioning bucket for scooping, lifting, and dumping? It has a 360-degree spin and a front shovel, perfect for clearing the hopefully snowy driveways this Christmas!
Benefits of 12V Cars for Toddlers
These cars are safe and easy to drive while bringing a realistic driving experience, making them the perfect entry-level ride-on for younger children. Titan Toys 12V cars always come with a parent R/C Remote Control, so you can safely steer them around. To ensure added safety, the remote control's range is limited to prevent the child from getting too far away from you.
You can also connect your phone via USB and play the little ones' favourite tunes to make the journey even more exciting!
Garden Fun: Trampolines & Swing Sets
If you are lucky enough to have your own garden, this might be where you and your family are spending a lot of time together, especially with small children. So, this Christmas, why not get something that will optimise your outdoor play in your garden?
Here are our top Christmas Presents for toddlers’ garden play:
· Airborne Small 8ft Garden Trampoline – There are so many benefits to bouncing on trampolines, and toddlers really love the feel and excitement. Just make sure it is done safely, with just one at a time, and that the safety net is zipped up, and they are ready to go! There will be no doubt hours of outdoor fun, no matter what the season. So if you are searching for the best small garden trampoline for toddlers or a toddler wooden swing set with slide in the UK, we strongly recommend The Airborne Collection of Trampolines and Go Wild Wooden Swing sets. Why? Because we have designed them to last, to be robust and grow with the family.
· Go Wild Grow With Me Wooden Swing Set – This wooden swing set is one of the sturdiest non-commercial swing sets you can get in the UK, and Titan Toys even offers a lifetime warranty on the wooden frame itself. The set comes with a baby seat and a standard seat that can be easily swapped using the carabiner hooks as they grow. You can also add other accessories, such as trapeze bars or climbing ropes, to create a more challenging experience.
· Go Wild 6ft Stand Alone Slide with Ladder – Toddlers love the thrill of a slide, and a 6ft slide is a perfect starting height for them. Our Go wild Stand-alone slides are built to last and can be used for other fun activities, like watching toys roll down! To make it even more toddler-friendly and engaging, there is a colourful phone and a telescope for pretend play.
· Go wild Swing and Slide – If you want to combine the best of both worlds and you have the space in your garden, we will highly recommend the 6ft slide and swing set! Why not add a rectangular nest swing where they can lie down and watch the sky while swinging?
Benefits: Outdoor activity, gross motor skill development, social play
All these large outdoor toys for your garden will significantly benefit your toddler's physical and mental development. They will improve their body control and awareness on the trampoline, and, from an early age, develop their spatial awareness as they swing back and forth on the swing set. They will improve their balance on the slide and swings.
They will also learn to take turns and build on their social skills while staying active and healthy. More importantly, they will spend time outside in the fresh air while soaking up the ever-so-important vitamin D. Trust us, a lot of energy will be burned bouncing on a trampoline through rain, snow and sunshine, all seasons bringing new sensory experiences, the perfect outdoor exercise for kids!
Through all the outdoor activities, they will learn to set their own limits. Something so important when it comes to strong-minded toddlers.
So if you are searching for the best small garden trampoline for toddlers or a toddler wooden swing set with slide in the UK, we strongly recommend The Airborne Collection of Trampolines and Go Wild Wooden Swing sets. Why? Because we have designed them to last, to be robust and grow with the family.
Indoor Play: Go Wild Swedish Ladder (Coming Soon)
We have something fascinating landing on our website shortly! The wooden Go Wild Swedish Climbing Ladder. Think back to your PE days, where the gym may have been covered in wooden ladders that you would climb up and down in, pretend you’re a pirate searching the ocean for treasures. Now you can get one for your toddler at home.
This is safe indoor climbing to deter them from the type you want them to avoid in the house. It comes with:
· A small wooden slide that can be easily placed and removed. It doubles up as a great car hill drive too.
· Gymnastics hanging rings made of smooth wood.
· A climbing rope to really build on their strength.
· Trapeze Swing.
The main benefit is, of course, keeping them entertained and away from the screen on rainy days. Ever since we put it up, both our 5-year-old and 8-year-old are never off it. I really wish we had this when they were younger.
It will develop their coordination and their strength while also improving their level of adventure!
If there is just one thing I could go back and give to my kids when they were little, it would be the indoor climbing ladder for toddlers! They would have loved a Swedish ladder Christmas Gift.
