ABSTRACT:
The pedal driven swivel toy provides a ride for children which includes a combination of translation and rotation. The toy is suspended from a support structure allowing swinging and rotating motion. A wheel contacting the ground and driven by the child through the use of pedals forces the center of gravity of the toy from a stable rest position to an unstable position thereby inducing rotation and swinging of the toy. The combination of motion is exhilarating for the child and the use of pedals provides exercise for the child while allowing control of operation of the toy.
