Handhold
Physical
the vertical handgrips ensure a firm grip at different heights, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
The Racer with its whimsical rodeo look attracts toddlers for a rides again and again. Apart from its appealing shapes, the Racer offers tactile variation with its rubber hand holds and smooth body. Tactile richness is a main motivator, especially in younger children. It supports their understanding of material characteristics such as weight, smoothness, temperature and flexibility. The slightly sloped seat provides a seating destination that ensures hours, years and decades of fun. The soothing, rocking movement of the Racer trains the sense of balance and the spatial awareness. These are both crucial for body confidence, e.g. fall prevention. A well developed sense of balance is fundamental for the ability to sit still and concentrate. The Racer offers children more than a mere fun ride.

Play Value
Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child “want” or developmentally “need” to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.
Foot support
Physical
the possibility of footrest supports intense rocking. Rocking stimulates the senses of balance and space that are fundamental in managing the world securely.
Rocking spring
Physical
response to movement increases spatial awareness and sense of balance. These are fundamental motor skills that help the child's ability to sit still on a chair which takes a good sense of balance.
Cognitive
trains the understanding of cause and effect: when I move my body, the spring responds with movement.
