Abstract: A ride-on toy can include a body having a shape resembling a torso of a creature and suitable for being sat on by a child, and four walking mechanisms connected to the body. Each walking mechanism can include a wheel rotatably mounted to the body at a wheel center, and a leg slidably connected to the body via a peg received in a slot defined by the body. The leg includes a foot and has a shape resembling a leg of the creature. The foot is eccentrically linked to the wheel. Two out of the four walking mechanisms are connected to a head end of the body to define a pair of forelegs. The other two out of the four walking mechanisms are connected to a tail end of the body to define a pair of hind legs.
