12V 2 Seater Kids Ride On Truck with Front Engine Box, Rear Storage, Parental Remote and LED Lights, 110 lb Capacity, Red

Out the door go a dinosaur, a water bottle and two rocks from the driveway. Most ride-on cars have a flat seat and nothing else, so the adult carries the lot and the toys get left on the lawn.

This one has a storage box behind the seats and a second compartment under the front bonnet. The maker photographs the bonnet open with toys inside it. Small things travel with the driver instead of with you.

Under the bonnet

The front lifts like a real hood and there is a box underneath it. In the maker's photo it is holding small toys. It is not huge, but it is the difference between a toy that goes along for the ride and one that gets dropped on the path.

The look of it

Two round headlamps, two more in the bumper and four on the roof rail, all of them working lights. The plate on the front and the wide black arches are moulded in, so nothing peels off after a wet summer.

One bench, two children

The seat is a single 19 in bench with a belt and a handrail between the riders, rather than two separate buckets. It suits two smaller children better than one big one, and the doors beside it open and lock.

Measure twice

48.5 in long and 31.5 in each way. It arrives in two cartons that may land on different days. Anywhere you plan to store it over the winter needs to be about four feet long with the door shut.

The bonnet lifts on a compartment sized for small toys, which the maker shows loaded in its own photo.

A second space behind the seats, so there are two places to put things.

A 19 in bench with a safety belt and a rail between the riders.

The 2.4G handset has three, and the child's own controls give two forward and two reverse.

Sprung rear wheels for cement, asphalt, stone paving and decking.

It gathers speed rather than lurching, and eases off when the pedal is released.

Headlamps, bumper lamps and a four lamp roof bar, plus a horn on the wheel.

Built-in music and stories, with a USB port, a TF card slot and an AUX socket.

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.

Two compartments mean the dinosaur and the water bottle ride along rather than being carried by you.

The capacity is for the truck as a whole. Add both children together and keep to the 3 and up age guidance.

Cement, asphalt, stone and wood are the four surfaces the manufacturer pictures, and they suit it best.

What we stand behind

• Speed, capacity, seat width, battery, charger output and age are all the manufacturer's published figures.
• No run time, no charge time and no remote range is published on this record, so none is quoted.
• The storage compartments have no published dimensions, so no capacity is claimed for either of them.
• No certification appears on this record, so none is repeated.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

How big is the front storage box?

The manufacturer does not publish a size for it, so we will not guess. Their own photo shows it holding several small toys with the bonnet lifted.

Can two children ride at once?

Yes. It is a two seater with a 19 in bench, one safety belt and a handrail. The 110 lb weight capacity covers both of them together.

What speeds does it have?

Two forward and two reverse when a child drives it, and three settings on the 2.4G remote when an adult does. Both modes start and stop gently.

How is it charged?

Through the socket on the control panel, using the supplied charger rated at 15 V and 1000 mA. No charge time is published; Canadian retailers put a 12 V toy battery at eight to twelve hours.

Will it arrive in one piece?

It arrives in two cartons which may not come on the same day, and it needs assembling: wheels, steering wheel and mirrors are the usual parts on a truck this size. No assembly time is published.

Is red a different model?

No. Same body, battery, speed range, capacity and controls as the black, pink and white versions. Only the paint changes.
