  • Patent number: 4500104
    Abstract: A child's combination toy comprising a bicycle, or tricycle, to the frame of which a seated doll is attached in front of the handlebars. The doll is seated with its hands grasping a miniature set of handlebars and its feet resting on a miniature set of pedals which are coupled to the cycle's front wheel by a gearing and friction-drive arrangement. The legs of the doll are flexible so that they are moved by means of the pedal action in correspondence with the action of the legs of the cycle's rider. The doll also turns in correspondence with the turning of the cycle's handlebars. The actions of the doll cause it to appear to be operating the cycle in conjunction with the actual operator.
