Abstract: A ride-on toy resembling a vehicle, that has a dashboard and a seat compartment which contain a plurality of buttons. Each seat compartment button has a base which is removably seated within a complementary shaped opening in the seat compartment. A speech synthesizer chip responds to activation of the dashboard and seat compartment buttons by actuating a speaker to play sounds and causing an LED to flash synchronously with the sounds. The rear portion of the toy may contain a seat back which is removably attached thereto and which is sufficiently high to allow young children to use it as a support to stand and push the ride-on toy.
