                        A toy placed in front of
                        the child’s car seat, whose dashboard
                        and pedals contain the simulated

                        The invention consists of
                        three main parts. The bottom end of the
                        supporter fastens the simulator to the
                        car seat or to a suitable structural
                        element of the car. On the simulator
                        board the equivalents of the car’s
                        dashboard can be found (steering wheel,
                        ignition key, index buttons and signals,
                        rear-view mirrors, etc). In the inside of
                        the simulator electric installations and
                        batteries of the operators and signals of
                        different functions are placed. The
                        pedal-simulator is also fastened to the
                        supporter within the reach of the
                        child’s feet. Depending on the age of
                        the child and other requirements the toy
                        can be prepared in several variants and
                        varieties of detail.

                    - Application:
                        
 
                        The
                        invention is designed to capture the
                        attention of the child riding with his
                        parents, to enable him to acquire useful
                        knowledge related to driving and traffic.

                    - Advantages:
                        
 
                        According
                        to our experience as parents, children
                        are passionately interested in the
                        instruments of driving (steering,
                        operators and signals, etc) from the age
                        of 1-2 years. This interest is growing
                        further with age and extends to the
                        direction of the techniques and traffic
                        regulations related to car-driving. All
                        these needs are satisfied by this
                        invention. The child becomes a quasi
                        active participant in driving, he is
                        entertained and taught while
                        communicating with the driver.
