SunnyChanel — Tue, 12 May 2009 14:30:00 GMT

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden took their daughter Harlow out on a Mother’s Day stroll. But when the pregnant Richie wasn’t carrying young Harlow, she had the option to take a drive in her own little hot red push car. What kind of wheels does Harlow roll in? A Radio Flyer 74 Steer and Stroll Coupe. This ride on toy has a door open and closes, electonic lights and sounds on the dashboard, a stow away footrest, and a telescoping push handle for mom and dad. You can get one of these sweet rides here for $113.06 (regularly $146.98).

Toy Car from Switzerland Runs On Solar Power

Design Within Reach may no longer offer it's "Jax" catalog for children's products, but you can find a kid-related thing in there every now and then. For example, check out this toy Solar Car - just the thing to teach your kids about energy independence.

The Solar Car is a wooden toy car (made in Switzerland, if you couldn't tell from the design) with a solar panel and a small motor. As long as the car is in a sunny place, it will move on it's own.

But what's the real lesson learned about solar energy? It's expensive. The Solar Car will set you back $125 from DWR.com.

Automoblox X9X SUV Toy Car

We've told you about Automoblox before, but there's a new car out that is even better. The Automoblox X9X SUV is green, rugged and might just be the coolest toy car I've ever seen.

Automoblox is a toy that comes in parts (blocks), and with a little work assembles into a car. The X9X SUV has running boards, a roof rack, spare tire and skid plates. It looks like fun to put together and fun to play with once it's done. And the green tires and windshield? I'm guessing that means it's an Hybrid.

Automoblox X9X SUV, $40 from Unica Home.

7 Days of Eco-Friendly Toys: Playsam Cars

I'm not exactly sure what an "eco-friendly toy" is, but when I think about my favorite wood toys that we own, this toy car from Playsam is always at the top of the list.

The Streamliner F1 is the most simple of toys. Basically it's a smooth oval body, four wheels and a little guy that you can take out. Made entirely out of wood, it's the sort of thing you just love looking at. It doesn't make any sounds or require any batteries, but both of my girls loved playing with it. A word of warning though, make sure the little guy is out of the hands of teething toddlers, as he will inevitably get chipped.
