Some pages have restrictions on the types of examples that can be listed claiming they fall under another trope, except they don't provide a link to said other trope, or seem to assume it probably exists out there somewhere.

Note that this trope is for when infants and younger children are traded away for something else. While characters trading older children and teenagers still occurs in media, they do not fall under this trope.

Note: This index is a list of shows and franchises that have been immortalized by having their characters licensed for being made into a kiddie ride. It does not involve works that feature a kiddie ride in their plots; those belong under another trope (that hasn't been made yet).

(Note that this trope does not apply when the chase is a vehicle pursuit, e.g. the Star Wars: A New Hope beginning pursuit. That belongs to a different category.)

I feel that if there isn't a more appropriate trope listed there's no reason for there to be this kind of restriction, especially with no justification given (in TKR's case, it's plagued with ZC Es because, well, "this ride exists" is about all that can be said for most of them).

Yeah, these examples kinda come off as violations of Tropes Are Flexible or, in The Kiddie Ride's case, People Sit on Chairs. If it doesn't fall under either (for example, if there's something where the thing being a kiddie ride specifically is relevant to the plot), we might have a new trope to send to the Launch Pad or Salvage Yard.

So should the restrictions be removed from the descriptions?

For Kiddie Ride I'm not sure since it'd be very different from what the page is about.
