A push toy for providing children with hours of fun-filled amusement, having a pair of wheels, a steering wheel, and a steering mechanism for moving the push toy in one direction or the other. The steering mechanism has a reel, a pin, and a thread. The steering wheel is rotatably connected with the reel about the pin whereby rotation of the steering wheel causes the reel to pull the thread in one direction or the other, causing the push toy to rotate relative to the steering wheel and thereby redirect the direction of the wheels with precision.
