ABSTRACT:
A rollable, inflatable toy that may be ridden by a human, such as a child, is disclosed. The toy comprises a hollow body portion having a forward end, a rearward end and an intermediate portion that is shaped so as to support a child thereon. An inlet to the interior of the hollow body portion is provided so that it may be inflated and deflated at will. Secured to the underside of the hollow body portion, at the forward and rearward ends thereof, are rollable carriages that are comprised of transverse axles at the outer ends of which are mounted wheels. Transverse channels may be made integral with the axles in order to minimize the bending thereof. In addition, at the ends of each channel, a wheel cover is provided for at least partially covering the upper portion of each wheel. Because the hollow body portion is flexible, it will bend when a child sits thereon, thereby simulating the actual riding of a horse, for example, without the need for springs and linkages or the like. The wheels provide the necessary mobility for the toy.
