ABSTRACT:
A rocker/tricycle combination toy is provided that can be used as either a rocking toy for children or a conventional tricycle. A tricycle can detachably connect to a rocking base so that a child can sit on the tricycle and rock back and forth. The rocking base is curved about a transverse axis for allowing rocking motion in a longitudinal direction. The tricycle is connected to the base through a support that includes a locking post that engages a socket provided in the underside of the tricycle. The rocking base can include troughs for receiving the rear wheels of the tricycle to retain the tricycle in alignment with the base. The rocking base can also include a trough for receiving the front wheel of the tricycle that allows a child to pedal the front wheel when the tricycle is mounted on the base. In another embodiment, the trough for receiving the front wheel can be configured to allow a child to steer the front wheel when the tricycle is mounted on the base.
