    Joyride by Per Brol­und is a cart con­struc­tion kit for par­ents with chil­dren between 3 an 9 years old. No tools are nec­es­sary to assem­ble the kit and it can be eas­ily dis­as­sem­bled for con­ve­nient flat-pack storage.

    Cool idea, unfor­tu­nately just a con­cept at this point.

  4. Reinventing the Gypsy Caravan

    Tonke Campers

    Tonke Campers

    Tonka Campers, cre­ated by Dutch doc­u­men­tary film­maker Maarten Van Soest (and named after Maarten’s daugh­ter), offer a refresh­ing take on dis­pos­able travel. They are obso­lete already, in the best pos­si­ble way, and mature rather than date.

    Eschew­ing the typ­i­cal molded plas­tic and vinyl, they are hand-built in a vil­lage in the south of the Nether­lands using tra­di­tional meth­ods and mate­ri­als. Rus­tic lux­ury awaits on the inside, with pol­ished mahogany fit­tings, teak floors, porce­lain sinks, chrome faucets and glass windows.

    In as lit­tle as 15 min­utes, the camper unit can be removed from the vehi­cle, allow­ing for place­ment in a gar­den as a guest cot­tage or inspi­ra­tional workplace.

  7. Dutch Pedal-Powered Bus

    DeRedding KDV Cargo Bike

    You can bring every­one along with this trike (kids, friends, fam­ily pets, grand­par­ents, etc.). Made in the Nether­lands (of course), the DeRed­ding KDV fits up to 8 chil­dren on its tan­dem benches with a pro­tec­tion bar for each bench (like an amuse­ment park ride, more con­ve­nient than indi­vid­ual seat belts).

    These are often used instead of a bus by many schools and day care cen­ters in Hol­land. Avail­able world­wide, though not cheap at €2950,-

    Wisa Gloria Swiss Toys Tricycle

    Swiss toy­maker Wisa-Gloria at work assem­bling their won­der­ful tri­cy­cles, like they’ve been doing since 1881. I’m not sure about the avail­abil­ity of their prod­ucts in the U.S., but I have come across a few of their vin­tage wooden toys and they were magnificent.
