Claims26
A vehicle system, comprising:
- a first vehicle configured to support a child in a standing configuration on the first vehicle while riding the first vehicle, the first vehicle including a frame and a front wheel and a rear wheel coupled to the frame, the frame including a support portion on which the child can be positioned;
- and
- a second vehicle configured to support a doll in a standing configuration on the second vehicle, the second vehicle including a frame and a front wheel and a rear wheel coupled to the frame of the second vehicle, the frame of the second vehicle including a support portion on which the doll can be positioned, the frame of the second vehicle including a coupling mechanism configured to removably couple the second vehicle to the first vehicle the coupling mechanism having a first end and second end opposite to the first end, the coupling mechanism including a clamp located proximate to the first end and a mounting component that couples the second vehicle to the coupling mechanism, the second vehicle including a coupler proximate to a lower surface of the second vehicle, the coupler being engageable with the mounting component to mount the second vehicle to the first vehicle.
A toy vehicle for a scooter, the scooter including a base portion, a handle portion coupled to the base portion, and a pair of wheels supporting the base portion, the scooter being configured to support a child on the base portion, the toy vehicle comprising:
- a base portion configured to support a doll on the base portion of the toy vehicle;
- a handle portion coupled to the base portion of the toy vehicle;
- a pair of wheels;
- and
- a mounting assembly coupled to the base portion of the toy vehicle, the mounting assembly including a first end, a second end opposite to the first end, and a coupler configured to engage the handle portion of the scooter to secure the toy vehicle on the scooter, the mounting assembly extending forwardly on the scooter when the first end is coupled to the scooter so that the second end is forward relative to the first end, the toy vehicle being coupleable to the mounting assembly via a coupler located proximate to a lower surface of the toy vehicle, the toy vehicle being supportable on the scooter such that the doll on the toy vehicle can be placed in the same orientation and configuration as a child located on the scooter.
