Friction and pull-back toys move without a remote or batteries for the motor, which makes them a simple first vehicle for young children. Push a friction toy forward a few times and it rolls on its own; pull a pull-back toy backwards, let go and it shoots ahead. Toylivo's range includes trucks, fire engines, excavators, buses, police vehicles and cars.

Friction and pull-back toy FAQs
What is the difference between friction and pull-back toys?
A friction toy builds up energy when you push it forward; a pull-back toy winds up when you pull it backwards.
Do these toys need batteries?
The motor does not. Models with lights or sound need small batteries, as shown in the listing.
What age are they for?
Age guidance differs by model and is on each product page. Check for small detachable parts before giving one to a toddler.
How do I keep the mechanism working?
Avoid forcing the wheels backwards on friction toys and keep sand and hair out of the wheels.
