Mobility.
Play.
Independence.
We modify ride-on toy cars so children with disabilities can move, explore, and play on their own terms. Every build is a gift of freedom.
About Us
We build more than cars.
GoBabyGo NCSU is a student-led organization at NC State University. We work with pediatric rehabilitation centers to identify children who would benefit from modified ride-on cars, then we build, customize, and deliver them free of charge. Our mission is to give every child the chance to move independently and experience the joy of play.

Process
How It Works
From partnership to delivery, every build follows a thoughtful process designed to maximize impact for each child we serve.
Partner with a Rehab Center
We connect with a local pediatric rehabilitation center to identify children who would benefit most from a modified car.
Fundraise & Secure Sponsors
Our team raises funds through donations and sponsorships to cover materials and hardware for each build.
Build & Customize
Student volunteers gather for a hands-on build session, modifying a standard ride-on car to meet each child's unique needs.
Deliver & Fit to the Child
We deliver the finished car to the rehab center, where therapists ensure a proper fit and teach the family how to use it.
Typical Modifications
- Large, accessible push-button for easy activation
- Supportive PVC frame for trunk and head stability
- Safety harness for secure positioning
- Foot guards to keep legs in place
- Headrest and lateral supports as needed
- Custom add-ons based on each child's therapy goals
