Description: This is a set of riding vehicles for Little People. The early versions of these vehicles had "Made In USA" imprinted on the underside of them. This imprint was soon removed, much like the "F-P TOYS" imprint that was on early versions of Little People car wheels. The little riders that have "Made In USA" imprint on them are much harder to find than those that do not.

Beware of the Little Riders vehicle imposters manufactured by Illco. These vehicles are shameless copies of Fisher-Price Little Rider vehicles, including the plane, the train, and the tricycle. The problem with the Illco vehicles is that the Fisher-Price Little People figures fit rather tightly into the seats, opposed to the smooth comfortable fit of the Fisher-Price vehicles.

Accessories: This set includes five riding vehicles that come in four possible colors (red, orange, blue and green). As a set, the horse and plane are the same color; the trike and train are the same color; and the wagon is one of the 2 colors left. However, the 1989 dealer catalog shows a blue plane and horse, a red trike, orange wagon, and a green train, so the rule apparently does not always apply.
