As far as your child’s mind can take this is exactly how far MOOV can go!

MOOV received 5 (out of max. 5) stars from What the Stuff Toy Review.

In a word – AWESOME! MOOV may be one of the coolest toys we have ever reviewed! It is totally original, incredibly functional, durable, and with a little practice surprisingly easy to use! Yes – the price is high…but sometimes an expensive toy packs so much into its design that it just may be worth every penny – and we think this is one of those! MOOV is poised to take the toy world by storm – and we are sure glad we got a chance to hop on for the ride!

MOOV is a unique and revolutionary new kids toy system and is rewarded with several leading international consumer Toy awards and nominations by the most critical and expert jury, namely kids from 5-12 years. Click here for a selection and more information.

From a scooter to a 4-wheeler

Children can experiment endlessly with the components of MOOV. These include special metal ribbed bars, flexible rings and wooden boards, a foam seat, steering rope, brakes, reflectors and – of course – mud guards. These comprise the base for each design, the basic outlines with which the mechanic/designer can put together an unbelievable number of variations.

Go-kart 2008

The idea of MOOV originated from a request for wheels that BERG Toys received for building a go-kart. After three years of development, the old-time go-kart obtained new zest: MOOV. Children became the mechanics with the possible assistance of their parents. They could build or redo the most diverse models according to their insights and fantasy, and later play with them alone or with friends. MOOV is manufactured according to strict quality standards for safety and the environment.

The Vote for the Toy of the Year was held this year for the 35th time.

About BERG Toys

These annual toy awards are a hallmark of excellence. Hundreds of toys, books and software products are entered and put through a stringent testing process to ensure that they offer children the highest quality.

The awards are judged by parents and children. Toys are sent to different parents who then encourage their kids to play with them. Parents then observe their kids’ reactions to the toys and will also judge the toys themselves.
