kiddie rides

Small carousel attractions

Kiddie rides are small, coin-operated amusement machines designed for young children, typically found outside supermarkets, in malls, or at arcades.

They rock or move gently while playing music, often shaped like animals, cars, or cartoon characters: She put a quarter in the kiddie ride shaped like a fire truck.

The term also covers scaled-down carnival rides at amusement parks restricted to small children.
