MOOV by BERG Toys is named Toy of the Year 2008!
Amsterdam, 5 November 2008, In the category of 8 to 12 year olds, the general public has selected MOOV manufactured by BERG Toys as the Toy of the Year 2008! Berg MOOV is a building package that allows you to design and build your own vehicle in a trice and it was includes in a short list that consumers could vote upon.
The vote
A professional jury consisting of 12 people from retail organisations, journalists and toy experts, nominated five articles – out of 200 submissions – in the each age category. The jury wrote the following about MOOV: “A Dutch invention which is extremely sound and robust. You build your own vehicle; your tools are your hands. Build, toil and race.”
The public
The public had an opportunity to vote on their favourite product according to age category. From September 3rd until November 2nd via the website www.speelgoedvanhetjaar.nl MOOV received the most votes from the public!
From a scooter to a 4-wheeler
Children can experiment endlessly with the components of MOOV. These include special metal ribbed bars, flexible rings and wooden boards, a foam seat, steering rope, brakes, reflectors and – of course – mud guards. These comprise the base for each design, the basic outlines with which the mechanic/designer can put together an unbelievable number of variations.
Go-kart 2008
The idea of MOOV originated from a request for wheels that BERG Toys received for building a go-kart. After three years of development, the old-time go-kart obtained new zest: MOOV. Children became the mechanics with the possible assistance of their parents. They could build or redo the most diverse models according to their insights and fantasy, and later play with them alone or with friends. MOOV is manufactured according to strict quality standards for safety and the environment.
The Vote for the Toy of the Year was held this year for the 35th time.
