Didi Car Hire in Leicester, Market Harborough, Lutterworth, Hinckley & Leicestershire
A clear floor, a Didi Car and a child who has just worked out how to make it move. That's usually all it takes. Before long they're steering around the room, changing direction and heading back for another lap.
Our Didi Cars provide a completely different type of children's party entertainment from a traditional bouncy castle. There are no pedals, batteries or motors. Movement is created by turning the steering wheel from side to side, making the cars an entertaining addition to suitable indoor parties, children's events and play areas.
What Exactly Is a Didi Car?
Didi Cars are low-level ride-on toys operated through the steering wheel. Once children get the knack of the side-to-side movement, they can propel themselves forwards and steer around the available play space.
Their simplicity is part of the appeal. There are no batteries to charge and no pedals to operate. Children provide the movement themselves, turning an open section of suitable flooring into an activity area where they can ride, steer and practise controlling their car.
BB Castle Hire has both Blue and Red Didi Cars and Red and Blue Didi Cars available as part of our children's hire range.
Give Them Somewhere to Drive
With Didi Cars, the empty space is part of the attraction.
Rather than filling every metre of a hall with equipment, leave a suitable clear area where children have room to manoeuvre. The cars can then provide an active section of the party without requiring another large inflatable.
That makes them particularly interesting when planning an indoor celebration. A hall could have a bouncy castle at one end, tables and refreshments along another side and a defined Didi Car area using the remaining suitable floor space.
A Useful Addition to Indoor Children's Parties
Once autumn arrives, children's parties increasingly move from gardens into community halls and indoor venues. Didi Cars give you another activity to consider when building that indoor entertainment line-up.
Unlike an inflatable, they don't require ceiling clearance, so they can help make use of parts of a venue where taller equipment wouldn't be appropriate. What they do need is enough suitable, unobstructed floor space for children to operate them properly.

Didi Cars and Soft Play Make Very Different Activities
For a younger children's party, variety doesn't necessarily mean hiring several inflatables. It can mean creating smaller play areas that encourage completely different types of activity.
Our Soft Play & Ball Pool equipment creates one style of play, while Didi Cars introduce movement around a defined space. Put appropriate activities together in a suitable venue and children can switch between them instead of remaining in one place for the entire party.
This type of setup can work particularly well for younger children's birthdays, christenings and family celebrations where you want several activities without making everything about one large inflatable.
Or Add Didi Cars Alongside a Bouncy Castle
For a more energetic children's party, a castle and Didi Cars can give the room two distinct attractions.
The bouncy castle provides one obvious focal point. The Didi Cars give children somewhere else to head when they want a change. Instead of repeatedly joining the same activity, they can move between bouncing and driving during the celebration.
If you'd rather choose several pieces of children's entertainment together, our Children's Packages are also worth exploring.
Not Every Didi Car Session Needs to Become a Race
Put several ride-ons in a room and somebody will inevitably suggest racing them. You don't need to organise the whole activity that way.
Children can simply ride around the available space, practise steering or take turns using the cars. Keeping the layout straightforward can be especially useful at younger children's parties where free play works better than formal competitions.
The important part is providing a suitable operating area and appropriate supervision during use.
Where Can Didi Cars Fit Into a Bigger Event?
At a larger school, community or family event, Didi Cars can become a smaller activity zone alongside the main attractions rather than being expected to entertain everybody at once.
You might have Interactive Inflatables elsewhere for older children, soft play for little ones and Didi Cars occupying another suitable section. This gives different age groups and interests somewhere to go and helps create more variety within the overall event layout.

Planning the Space for Didi Cars
Don't judge the available area solely by the total dimensions of the venue. Tables, chairs, pillars, doorways, stages and other equipment can all interrupt the usable floor.
Think instead about where the children will actually ride. A simple, clear area is preferable to expecting them to weave between furniture or other party equipment.
If you're hiring several attractions, consider the traffic between them too. Separating the Didi Car area from entrances, refreshments and the busiest routes through the room can help create a more practical party layout.
