12V Kids Ride On Bumper Car with 66 lb Load Capacity, 3 Speeds, Safety Belt, Soft Bumper and Parent Remote, Pink

Most spin cars are rated to about 44 lb and five years. A child hits the limit, the toy goes to a cousin, and you are buying again a year after the first purchase.

This one publishes a 66 lb load capacity and an age band that runs to 96 months. Three speed settings rather than one is the other half of that: the car still has something to offer a six year old.

The numbers that decide it

37 to 96 months and 66 lb, printed together. The body is 29 in across and 17 in tall with a 13 in by 8 in seat. Those seat measurements are worth checking against a taller child before ordering.

What arrives

The car and its handset. A chrome handle arches over the back for carrying, and at 16.5 lb one adult can move it without help. The joysticks sit either side of the seat rather than in front of it.

What the adult holds

Three speeds, an emergency brake, a frequency button and the four directions. Starting on the low setting and moving up as the child gets the hang of the joysticks is the sensible order.

Four things on the body

The joysticks, the power and media panel, the flashing LED light and the safety belt. The belt is a simple lap strap across the seat, and the panel takes music over a wireless connection.

Published by the manufacturer alongside an age band of 37 to 96 months.

0.75 to 1.25 mph on the maker's own panel, selected from the remote.

Dual joysticks turn the car in place rather than needing a turning circle.

A flexible strip around the base, shown bending under a hand in the maker's photo.

A lap belt across the seat, with the seat itself measuring 13 in by 8 in.

Built-in music with a wireless connection, a front LED, side breathing lights and a base strip.

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.

66 lb and 96 months is a long run for a spin car, and three speeds keep it interesting.

The wide age band means both children can use the same car, with the adult capping the speed for the smaller one.

At 16.5 lb with a soft bumper it moves easily between the basement and the driveway.

What we stand behind

• The 66 lb load, the 37 to 96 month age range, the speeds, the battery and the dimensions are all the manufacturer's published figures.
• The manufacturer states it has an ASTM and CPSIA certificate. No certificate number is published, so none is quoted.
• No run time per charge is published, so none is claimed.
• A 66 lb capacity is the vehicle limit, not an invitation to carry two children.
• A toy for supervised play. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

How long will a child fit it?

The manufacturer publishes 37 to 96 months and a 66 lb load capacity. The seat is 13 in by 8 in, so a tall seven year old may be near the limit on size before weight.

Can two children ride it?

No. It is a single seat car with one belt, and the 66 lb figure is the total the vehicle carries.

How fast does it go?

0.75 mph on the lowest setting to 1.25 mph on the highest, both from the manufacturer's own panel.

Is the bumper really soft?

It is a flexible strip around the base, and the maker photographs it being pressed in by hand. It softens a knock rather than removing it.

How long does it take to charge?

8 to 12 hours on the supplied DC 12 V 0.9 A charger. No run time per charge is published.
