Abstract: A securement assembly for a toy includes a support having an insert with a plurality of tabs cooperatively defining a space, the insert being configured to extend into a receptacle of the toy. The securement assembly also includes a stand with an extension configured to extend into the space cooperatively defined by the plurality of tabs so that, in an assembled configuration of the securement assembly, the extension abuts the plurality of tabs to move the plurality of tabs away from one another and into engagement with a wall of the toy defining the receptacle.

Abstract: Track assemblies and track assembly kits for children's ride-on vehicles, as well as children's ride-on vehicle systems, according to the present disclosure are configured for assembly and disassembly of a track assembly. Track assemblies may include elongate rail members, couplers that are configured to couple together two elongate rail members, and optionally tie members that include one or more couplers. Generally, track assemblies comprise a left rail (including longitudinally aligned elongate rail members) and a right rail (including longitudinally aligned elongate rail members) in a spaced-apart and parallel relationship. Elongate rail members, couplers, and/or tie members are configured to releasably and repeatedly couple together. In the disassembled state, the component parts may be stored and/or shipped compactly. In the assembled state, the track assembly may define a track path, and the track assembly may be configured to guide the children's ride-on vehicle along the track path.

Abstract: Play systems of the present disclosure comprise a children's ride-on vehicle and a companion track. The companion vehicle and track each include a guide surface that is complementary to the companion apparatus and configured to guide the vehicle along a path of travel defined by the track. The children's ride-on vehicle may be powered, steerable, and configured to operate on and off the track. When the children's ride-on vehicle is guided and/or steered along the path of travel, the complementary guide surfaces do not substantially impede progress of the vehicle. When the children's ride-on vehicle is guided and/or steered away from the path of travel, the complementary guide surfaces contact and/or frictionally engage to direct the vehicle along the path of travel and/or to slow progress of the vehicle.

Abstract: Chassis assemblies for children's ride-on vehicles, children's ride-on vehicles including said chassis assemblies, and methods for configuring a children's ride-on vehicle for operation are disclosed. The chassis assembly may include a chassis configured to at least partially define a passenger region sized for a child, a gearbox coupled to the chassis, and an electric motor coupled to the gearbox. The gearbox may be configured to be selectively moved with respect to the chassis, along a path of movement, from a storage configuration to an operating configuration. A greater portion of the gearbox may extend beneath a lower plane defined by the chassis when the gearbox is in the operating configuration than when the gearbox is in the storage configuration.

Abstract: Axle mounting assemblies including an object, an axle, and a bushing assembly that operatively couples the object to the axle. The bushing assembly includes a bushing portion that extends at least partially through and engages a hub of the object, a fastener operatively retained relative to a bore defined by the bushing portion and positioned around the end region of the axle, and a force-receiving portion configured to selectively receive an installation force for operatively positioning the fastener over the end region of the axle.
