<p>A shifter for a child's ride-on vehicle allows for selection of various speeds and directions while precluding the selection of undesirable speeds and directions. Preferably, the shifter includes a housing (12) mounted on the body of the vehicle, a speed rocker switch (14) and a direction rocker switch (16) mounted on the housing and an actuator (18) pivotally mounted to the housing for selectively operating the switches. In the preferred embodiment, the actuator includes a depending selection member (24) with longitudinally spaced annular structure (26) and pivots about an axis (X) normal to the pivot axes (19a, 19b) of the rocker switch actuators. The concave contact surfaces (14a, 16a) of the rocker switches insure that the desired speed and direction are selected.</p> |
