The shop contains ride on themed apparel and merchandise for sale at the lowest prices possible. It is hosted by CafePress and includes designs by CRO. Since our prices are set as low as CafePress allows, we do not make any profit off of sales from the shop. If you have an idea for a new design, such as a personal phrase, or an additional CafePress item to be added to the shop, please let us know and we may add the new design or item for you.

Here is the Custom Ride Ons ringer t-shirt I received a while back from the CRO shop. After placing my order, I received it in just a few days, regardless of the fact that everything from CafePress is made to order. Being completely honest, the shirt is surprisingly high quality for the price. Even after having worn and washed it a number of times now, it has held up very well.

We have uploaded around 400 ride on vehicle related pictures to albums on our Facebook page. Enjoy!

We have linked to a number of affiliate forums and stores on the left sidebar of CRO and hope that you find them useful.

We came across these MPW (aka Modified Power Wheels) road barrels at the Madison Street Festival this weekend and couldn’t resist posting them.

You may have noticed that the site layout has changed from 2 column to 3 column. This allows us to provide more relevant content in the outer columns, reduce vertical scrolling on smaller pages, and center the primary content on each page.

In addition, a brand new video titled “Super 6 Ford F-150 – 6V to 12V Upgrade #2” was added to the Entertainment Videos section. Enjoy!
