Pedal go-karts are an excellent way to develop spatial awareness, co-ordination and physical strength in children. Children must learn to judge obstacles in their way and how to navigate around them. They learn how to perform two tasks at once, steering and pedalling, while still being aware of their surroundings. And of course, all that pedalling helps develop their cardiovascular endurance, and develops their leg muscles. Reflexes are also sharpened as the children drive the pedal go kart, navigating their environment, and having fun.
