Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the different types of Rolly trailers (tipping, tanker, farm) and which is best?
- Tipping Trailers (e.g., RollyHalfpipe, RollyFarm Trailer): These are the most popular! They allow children to load up dirt, leaves, toys, or sand, then “tip” the contents out by pulling a lever. Fantastic for construction play, gardening, or general hauling.
- Tanker Trailers (e.g., RollyTanker): These trailers can be filled with water and often have a working tap or spray nozzle. Perfect for “watering” the garden, playing at the beach, or creating a mini fire truck scenario.
- Farm Trailers (e.g., RollyKipper, RollyMulty Trailer): Often larger, sometimes with side panels that can be removed or opened, mimicking real farm machinery. Great for hauling bigger loads or role-playing as a farmer.
- Log Trailers: Designed specifically for carrying toy logs, often coming with plastic “logs” included.
Are Rolly trailers durable? Will they withstand rough outdoor play and last for years?
Absolutely! Rolly trailers are renowned for their exceptional durability. They are made in Germany from high-quality, UV-stabilized plastic, which means they won’t fade or become brittle in the sun. The construction is robust, designed to take the bumps and scrapes of enthusiastic outdoor play.
Many families report their Rolly trailers lasting through multiple children, often looking almost as good as new years down the line. They are built to be played with – hard! Just remember to clean them periodically and store them out of extreme weather when not in use to maximize their lifespan.
Do rolly tractors and trailers require assembly?
Are all rolly trailers compatible with rolly tractors?
Generally speaking, yes! Most Rolly trailers use a universal hitch pin system that is compatible across the vast majority of Rolly pedal tractors. This is one of the brand’s great strengths – the modularity allows you to mix and match trailers with different tractors as your child grows or their interests change.
There are a few rare exceptions or specific attachments, but for the standard range of trailers, you can be confident they’ll connect seamlessly. Just check the hitch mechanism on both your tractor and the trailer to ensure it’s a standard pin.
How do I attach the trailer to the tractor?
Trailers attach to the tractor’s tow hitch using a small coupling pin.
What size trailer is right for my child?
It’s important to consider your child’s age and the size of the vehicle. For instance, a larger trailer like a water barrel attached to a smaller tractor like the rollyKiddy might be too heavy and difficult for a younger child to handle.
