Originally designed by a retired Boeing engineer in the 1970’s, a grandfather used his engineering know-how and a tractor seat from his farm to create a prototype riding toy for his grandson. The Original Flying Turtle was born. Look closely to see how today’s Flying Turtle seat resembles the shape of yesterday’s tractor seat. Rated as one of the Top 10 Toys by Parents Magazine, it’s simple to zip along any hard, smooth surface, indoors and out. No motor, no batteries, no pedaling. Powder-coated, steel handlebars and super-fast wheel bearings prove its superior American quality to hold up to 150 lbs. Parents love that the Flying Turtle comes completely assembled and has a one year warranty for home use. So compactly built, it turns on its own radius. Sit on the heavy-duty molded seat, put your feet on the bar, and simply swing the handlebars from side to side. You’re off and flying!

Please buy the “Super” Flying Turtle instead as the handle bars are bent inwards so if your child bumps into something, their hands are protected.
Just like you remember! And made in the USA! I ordered 2 of these for my 8 and 4 year old daughters for Christmas. I can’t really attest to how they hold up because I just got them today. However, as soon as I got my girls tucked in for the night I took one of the turtles for a spin and it was awesome! Just like I remembered from my childhood! It’s very “heavy duty” and seems very well made (also made in my home-state of TN!). I’m so excited for my girls and hope they enjoy them as much as I did as a child (or as a 30 year old…
An indestructible toy that will stand the test of time! An indestructible toy that will stand the test of time! I purchased these 4 or 5 years ago and they still look the same, even after numerous usages by my two boys and teen daughter. They seem to be the hit when kids come over and play. Although too small for my body (6’1″), i did attempt to use the product several times – great form of exercise for the kids and something different to the traditional skateboard and scooter. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants their kids to be…
