12V Kids Ride On Truck with Soft Start Technology, Remote Speed Display, Spring Suspension and Multi Point Belt, White

Most parental remotes have a speed button and nothing else. Press it a few times and nobody knows which of the three settings is live until the car moves, which is the worst moment to find out.

This remote carries a speed display in the middle of the pad. Set it before the child gets in, glance at it when you hand over, and you always know what the truck will do on the next press of the pedal.

What soft start changes

Four curves on one chart: high and low speed, with and without the system. The maker's caption is plain about the purpose, which is to avoid a child being frightened by sudden acceleration or braking.

The wheel and the panel

Music and horn on the wheel itself, with an early education button, a USB port, a light switch, an MP3 slot and a forward, stop and backward switch on the dash beside it. Everything is separate rather than stacked on one dial.

Doors and suspension

Magnetic locks hold the doors shut without a catch to wear out, and the wheels sit on springs. The maker credits the pair with an easier entry and a smoother ride, which is fair for a truck this size.

Measure the doorway

46.5 in long, 31 in wide and 29 in tall. The width is the figure that catches people out for storage: a standard garden shed door is often narrower than that, and the truck arrives flat in a carton to be built.

Gradual acceleration and braking, charted at both high and low speed by the manufacturer.

A readout between the direction pads showing which of the three settings is live.

Double doors held by magnets, with nothing to wear out or line up.

An adjustable belt on a spacious seat, holding a child at more than the lap.

Sprung wheels for a smoother ride over joints and lips.

Four wear-resistant wheels with nothing to inflate and nothing to puncture.

Working lamps at both ends, plus a rotatable clear rearview mirror.

An AUX input, a USB port and a TF card slot for music or stories.

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.

Knowing which setting is live before the child presses the pedal is worth more than an extra speed.

Soft start on acceleration and on the brake, which the maker charts at both speeds.

At 46.5 in by 31 in this is a large truck that wants a proper run rather than a patio. The roof rail adds height as well, so measure the doorway.

What we stand behind

• The dimensions, the door and belt design, the suspension, the soft start and the remote functions are all the manufacturer's own published details.
• This record publishes no age range, no weight limit and no top speed. We state none of them.
• No run time, charge time or battery capacity in amp hours is published either.
• No certification is claimed 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.

What age and weight is it for?

The manufacturer publishes neither for this model. That is a genuine gap, and we will not fill it with a guess. A 12 V truck this size is usually aimed at three to six year olds. Ask us before ordering if the fit matters.

How fast does it go?

No speed figure appears on this record. Three speed settings are available on the remote, the handset shows which one is selected, and the soft start applies to all of them.

Is the white version different from the pink one?

No. Same 46.5 in body, magnetic doors, spring suspension, multi point belt, solid PP wheels and the same 2.4 GHz remote with its speed display.

What does the early education button do?

It plays learning content through the same speaker as the music. The maker groups it with the USB port, the MP3 slot and the light switch on the dash panel.

Can one adult move it?

There is a portable handle built into the body. At 46.5 in long, that handle rather than lifting is the way to get it back to the garage.

Do the wheels need any maintenance?

No. They are solid PP with nothing to inflate. Check them for grit if the truck comes indoors, since that is what marks a floor.
