KidStance ride-on cars are perhaps the oddest toys out there. Essentially, these are stanced cars for kids. "Stance" is an umbrella term that refers to cars that have been extremely customized, usually with a combination of some extreme lowering and tilting of the wheels. Like the life-sized versions, KidStance ride-on cars are all custom jobs and they aren't cheap.
A typical custom job from KidStance costs around $1,700 with some cars costing upwards of $5,000. That's quite pricey for a toy a kid will outgrow in a few years. But even at such a high cost KidStance ride-on cars are in high demand with 45-60 custom jobs made per year. With that kind of demand it may not be long until big toy companies seize on the interest in stanced ride-on kids cars and start creating their own low-priced offerings.
