12V 2 Seat Licensed Toyota FJ40 Kids Ride On Car with 2.4G Parental Remote, 3 Point Belts, Door Locks and Spring Suspension, Black

A single seat ride-on turns into a stopwatch. One child drives, the other waits on the step, and the argument starts before the first lap is finished.

This body seats two side by side, each with a 3 point belt, and the doors lock. The child at the wheel drives while the passenger picks the music on the panel between them.

What the licence buys you

The proportions follow the real FJ40: an upright grille, a flat windscreen frame, a squared off body and a step bumper at the back. The badge and the grille lettering are there because the shape is built under licence, not as decals someone added.

The safety kit the maker lists

Three point belts on both seats, door locks that keep a young passenger from swinging the door mid ride, and overload protection in the electronics. The maker also fits a slow start so the car eases away instead of jumping.

What the remote actually does

Forward, back, left, right, three speed settings and a brake, out to a stated 65.6 ft. It needs two AAA batteries, which are not in the box. The panel beside the driver handles power, volume, lights and the USB and FM radio.

Size, weight and the two box delivery

49.6 in long, 30.7 in wide, 31.1 in tall on 14 in wheels. That is a big toy: measure the shed door. The same drawing carries the maker's shipping note, that the car arrives in two boxes which may land on different days.

A shared bench with a 3 point belt for each child, and doors that lock from the outside.

1.9 to 3.1 mph, which is about 3 to 5 km/h. Walking pace at the top setting.

2.4G remote with three speeds and a brake button. Two AAA batteries are needed and are not supplied.

The car builds up speed rather than lurching, which the maker shows as a curve on its own chart.

Spring suspension at each corner on 14 in non-slip wheels, for brick, rubber track and cement.

USB port, FM radio, a wireless connection button and volume control on the manual panel.

A space at the back for snacks and small toys, so the passenger has something to do.

A handle for moving the car when the battery is flat, which matters at this size.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse in two cartons that may not arrive on the same day. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

A shared bench and two belts ends the turn taking. The 130 lb capacity is a combined figure, so weigh both children together.

The remote has its own brake and three speed settings, and the maker rates it to 65.6 ft, which covers a normal back yard.

At 49.6 in long with 14 in wheels this is a big toy. A driveway or a smooth path suits it far better than a small patio.

What we stand behind

• The speed, the 130 lb capacity, the 3 to 8 year age range, the battery, the charge time and the 65.6 ft remote distance are all published by the manufacturer.
• The Toyota FJ40 shape is described by the manufacturer as licensed. We make no claim beyond what the record states.
• No safety certification number is published on this record, so none is quoted.
• The remote needs two AAA batteries that are not included. Have a pair ready for the first day.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

How far does the parental remote reach?

The manufacturer states an effective control distance of 65.6 ft, which is about 20 m. That covers a typical back yard or a driveway. It needs two 1.5 V AAA batteries and they are not supplied.

What is the weight limit for two children?

130 lb, and that is the capacity of the vehicle rather than a figure per seat. Add both children together before you buy. The maker's own age range is 3 to 8 years.

How fast does it go?

1.9 to 3.1 mph, which works out at roughly 3 to 5 km/h. An adult walking normally covers about 5 km/h, so the top setting is a walk and the lowest is a stroll.

Why does it arrive in two boxes?

The manufacturer ships this model in two cartons and says on its own packaging panel that they may not arrive on the same day. If only one turns up, wait for the second before contacting us.

How long does a charge take?

8 to 12 hours from the 12 V charger supplied. Canadian retailers give the same band for 12 V toys and suggest charging fully after every use rather than leaving the battery flat between weekends.

Can it be used on grass?

Short, flat, dry grass is manageable. The maker's own list of surfaces is rubber track, cement and brick, and terrain guides put thick grass and slopes beyond what a 12 V machine handles well, especially with two children on board.
