How common are/were these Moon-Cars (or what they’re called in Danish) in Danish kindergardens?

  1. I see plenty of the first picture. Never seen the trike in my life, but now I want one.

  2. More a school thing than a kinder garden thing.

    Also, it’s all #1, not so much #2.

  3. I think we had one of the 2-passenge ones, and a bunch of single passenger moon cars

  4. I’ve seen the single trike but never one with a passenger seat. I think it was 4 of the regulars and one trike.

  5. The first one is very common, I would almost wager every kindergarden have one.

    The second one is mostly used by school kids as it’s longer so younger kids doesn’t really fit in it.

  6. I associate them more with school, but I’ve seen both. Recently too, so I’m pretty sure they’re still common.

  7. Hehehe we had the second kind (only one!) in my SFO on Lolland

  8. We had quite a few of picture nr. 1 and  only 1 trike in my after school Childcare facility (SFO) age 6-9 back in the 90’s

  9. Mandatory by law. If you don’t comply you died inherently

  10. The first one was all over I remember at my kindergarten, but also public playgrounds etc. but at my kindergarten we fought over the one trike they had lol (early 2000s).

  11. The Trike was for the king of the playground, the moon car was for the royal workers… and the moon car trailer (yes this exist) Was for the queen.

  12. We had plenty at my school, both versions. Damn I’ve missed those. We used to race them

  13. Just returned home from copenhagen camping. They had both versions and my 7 year daughter was driving them all day. Especially the twin version with her younger cousin as passenger

  14. I believe they were designed by Lars Mathiesen of Pelikan Design.

  15. I rode the trike as a passenger on a campsite when I was 10. But their was no handle on, like on the picture, so in a sharp turn I flew off and landed on the concrete road. I lost most of the skin on my albow and knee. That was kinda traumatic 🥲

  16. The gardening shop near my parents had those – it was also the only shop I wanted to join them in.

  17. School photographer here. I’ve visited more than 130 schools around Denmark through the years. Literally every SFO has #1.

  18. Moon-car and Moon-Harley.
    We had them both in kindergarten forty years ago. Those things were the best.

  19. They are in my sons kindergarten (3-5 year olds) and in the school my other kid goes too. They have different models.

  20. We called them moon cars and used to drive them all the time

  21. We had both in my kindergarten. I learned to ride a moon-car before a bike.

  22. I have fond memories of sitting in the sidecar of the trike while my friend drove and yelled “DER ER UBETINGET VIEPLIGT( i have right of way)” not knowing what the hell that meant, at everyone and everything we almost drove into.

  23. Ohhh getting outside first to get the first one was eeeeverything. Doubt there is any schools or kindergardens that dont have them.

    The trip one I only seen on vacation places like camping or big playgrounds.

  24. We had like 10 in my kindergarten.

    Such a great toy… I’ve still got the scars.

  25. I vividly remember being thrown off a mooncar and spit in the face by some older boys when I was in school. I don’t remember if the kindergarden also had mooncars, but my school definitely did.

  26. My kindergarten had a bunch of the ones in the first pic. We used to use them for improvised mechanized warfare and such.

    The staff at that kindergarten may have been a smidge neglectful.

  27. Nr. 1 was, and still is I think, extremely common and popular.
    I remember using them all the time when I was a kid in the late 90’s and early 2000’s.

  28. If you move the Seat little to forward you Can have a passager on the backside alså
