# Car-Inspired Beach Toys These Mini Inflatables are More for Adults Than Children By Meghan Young | Published 2011-07-21 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-inflatables References: [thecoolhunter.net](http://www.thecoolhunter.net/article/detail/1969) & [access-agency.net](http://www.access-agency.net/) It is scorching hot outside and that means getting to a beach or pool stat would be ideal, but you don’t want to just rush there without preparing for this excursion properly; enter the Mini Inflatables. This is the perfect beach toy to have on hand. A life-sized mini convertible, it will have you zooming into those waves in no time. For the less adventurous, you can simply lie in its inflated embrace to get a tan while out on the water. Although kids will also want to clamor inside the Mini Inflatables, I wouldn’t be surprised if their parents refuse to give up their seats. The Mini Inflatables do have a sophisticated look that will prove irresistible to adults. Created by Access Agency, the Mini Inflatables were presented during the Mini Indoor Drive-in cinema for the new Countryman in Italy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Car-inspired Beach Toys:** Opportunity for creating innovative and unique beach toys that mimic the design and features of cars. - **Adult-focused Mini Inflatables:** Growing demand for beach toys designed specifically for adults that offer a sophisticated look and a sense of adventure. - **Branded Beach Accessories:** Disruptive opportunity for brands to collaborate with toy designers and create branded beach accessories that appeal to both kids and adults. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** Trend towards producing car-inspired beach toys presents opportunities for toy manufacturers to create new and compelling products. - **Beach and Pool Equipment:** Rising demand for adult-focused mini inflatables indicates potential for manufacturers of beach and pool equipment to develop innovative and stylish products. - **Branding and Marketing:** Collaboration between brands and toy designers for creating branded beach accessories can provide disruptive innovation opportunities in the field of branding and marketing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Film-Celebrating Pool Floaties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funboy-x-barbie-the-movie-collection.md) - [Surf and Track Hatchbacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-and-deus-ex-machin.md) - [Customizable Tanning Pools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-tanning-pool.md) - [Desktop Miniature Sports Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-beach-volleyball.md) - [Fun-Filled Inflatable Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-board.md) - [Minimalist SUV-Inspired Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/land-rover-icon-model-01.md) - [Inflatable Adirondack-Style Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bote-aerorondak-chair.md) - [Compact Classically Inspired Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-spaceman-hatchback.md) - [Modular Inflatable Gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conqueror-inflatable.md)
