12V 2 Seater Kids Ride On Truck with 2 x 45W Motors, 4 Wheel Spring Suspension, Lockable Doors and Parent Remote, Red

Most two seaters run the same motors as the one seat version. Load both seats and the car labours on any rise, the battery drains faster and the child at the wheel gets bored of the pace.

This one uses two 45 W motors and publishes a 110 lb weight capacity. The extra watts are there because two children weigh more than one, and the spring at each wheel keeps the ride flat while they are on board.

Two up under the roof bar

Both children sit on one wide bench with the wheel in front of the driver. The mesh grille, the roof lamps and the deep arches are moulded rather than printed, which is what stops a toy this size looking cheap after a season outside.

Four details the maker picks out

Three sets of lights, the wide belted bench, two doors that lock and a handle for pulling the truck when the battery gives out. On a car this size that last one saves a lot of lifting.

Springs at every corner

Four anti-slip wheels, each on a shock absorbing spring. The maker names asphalt, cement, brick and boardwalk. Flat and firm is still the rule, but the springs take the jolt out of paving joints.

Who sets the pace

Two speeds at the pedal, three on the handset, plus an emergency brake for the adult. The remote takes two AAA cells that are not supplied, which the maker prints in small type at the bottom of its own panel.

Driven by a 12 V 7 Ah battery, with a published range of 1.2 to 5 mph.

The manufacturer's figure for the whole truck, so weigh both children together.

A spring at each corner under anti-slip wheels, for a flatter ride over joints and lips.

Both doors open for getting in and lock for riding, beside a wide seat with a belt.

LED headlights, searchlights on the roof and taillights, all of them working.

A measured pull away instead of an instant one, which the maker charts on its own panel.

A handle for moving the truck when the battery runs flat, built into the body.

Horn, music, rocking mode, FM radio, wireless connection, volume, USB, AUX and a battery level display.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. 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.

The 110 lb capacity covers both seats at once. Weigh them together rather than one at a time.

Bigger motors and springs at four corners make a long, slightly uneven run far more pleasant than a rigid toy does.

5 mph is quick for a ride-on. The remote's three settings and its emergency brake are how you keep that in hand.

What we stand behind

• The motors, the 110 lb capacity, the speed range, the battery and the age are all the manufacturer's published figures.
• 5 mph at the top of the published range is faster than a walk. Use the remote's lower settings until a child steers confidently.
• CPSC, CPSIA and ASTM badges appear on the maker's own panel. No certificate number is published, so none is quoted.
• No run time or charge time is published, so neither is claimed.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

Is 5 mph too fast for a three year old?

It is the top of the published range and it is faster than an adult walks. Start the child in the remote's lowest setting or the pedal's low speed, and keep the emergency brake in hand until the steering looks steady.

What does 110 lb cover?

The truck as a whole, not each seat. Two children of 55 lb each will reach it. The manufacturer's stated age is 3 and up.

How strong are the motors compared with other ride-ons?

45 W a side is at the upper end for a 12 V toy. Many two seaters run 25 W or 35 W motors, which is why they slow down with a passenger on board.

Does the remote have a stop?

Yes, an emergency brake, alongside three speed settings. It needs two AAA batteries that are not included.

How do I move it when the battery is flat?

There is a portable handle built into the body for exactly that. A two seat truck is not something you want to carry.

What can it play?

Music, stories through the USB and AUX inputs, FM radio and a wireless connection, with volume control and a battery level display on the panel.
