“We decided to award Tory, among the many proposals, for its design simplicity and at the same time because we think it’s a very original idea. Among all entries, we really think it’s the most innovative ride-on toy: it’s an out-of-the-scheme product for a classic concept of ride-on toy.” – Chicco Team
