ABSTRACT:
A steering device for a toy including: right and left turning members for turning right and left steering wheels in clockwise and counterclockwise directions around predetermined shafts; and a connecting member for connecting and forming a turning pair with each turning member. The right and left turning members are turned around each predetermined shaft by moving the connecting member in right and left directions so as to change each direction of the steering wheels. One of a coil and a magnetic body is provided on the connecting member, the other of the coil and the magnetic body is fixed to a fixing portion of the toy, and the coil and the magnetic body come close to and go away from each other by moving the connecting member. The connecting member takes at least two steering positions by controlling a current to be carried to the coil with a coil current carrying unit.
