A wheeled vehicle for small children with a steering wheel on a long steering column that extends upward and backward to about waist level of a child walking behind the vehicle. The child propels and steers the vehicle by pushing on the steering wheel and turning the steering wheel. The steering column extends below the vehicle to operate a front steering frame on which are mounted the front wheels. The steering frame is centrally pivotally mounted to the vehicle chassis at the front end of the vehicle. Inexpensive steering transmission and linkage is provided by a flexible cable, cord, or chain wrapped around the lower end of the steering column below the vehicle and spanning to the left and right sides of the steering frame.
