12V Kids Ride On ATV Quad, 33 Inch with 14.5 Inch Seat, Dual 15W Motors, 3 to 7 mph and 66 lb Capacity, Navy

A three year old cannot swing a leg over a quad built for a six year old. They ask for help every single time, which takes the independence out of the toy within a week.

This one is deliberately small: 33 in long, 21 in tall, with a 14.5 in seat. A child steps over it rather than climbing onto it, which is the difference between a toy they use and one they wait for you to lift them onto.

The measurements

33 in long, 20 in wide, 21 in tall, with the seat marked at 14.5 in. The capacity is 66 lb and the maker states 3 years and up. Set those numbers against your own child before ordering.

What it will do

Two 15 W motors, a 12 V 4.5 Ah battery and a published 3 to 7 mph. The upper figure is faster than an adult walks. There is no speed selector published, so that range is what the pedal delivers.

What a child touches

Anti-slip handlebar grips, a wide seat, a foot pedal and LED headlights. The grips matter on a quad, because the bars are the only thing holding a child on when the ground is uneven.

The panel

One button start, a forward, stop and backward selector, a light switch, music, a wireless connection, volume, a power display and a USB port. Everything sits on one small face under the bars.

21 in tall with a 14.5 in seat, sized for a child to get on unaided.

On a 12 V 4.5 Ah battery, published at 3 to 7 mph with a 15 degree climbing angle.

Published with an age of 3 years and up on the maker's dimension panel.

Textured grips on the bars, with a wide seat and an easy to reach foot pedal.

A charge readout on the control panel beside the USB port and the light switch.

A USB port, a wireless connection, song controls and volume, plus LED headlights.

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.

A low seat and a short body is what lets a small child get on and off without help.

33 in by 20 in is a small footprint for a powered toy, which matters in a shed or a car boot.

3 to 7 mph is quick for this age. No speed limiter is published, so the pedal is the only control.

What we stand behind

• The dimensions, the seat height, the 66 lb capacity, the speed range, the climbing angle and the age are the manufacturer's own published figures.
• 7 mph is faster than an adult walks. We state it rather than describing it as safe.
• No parental remote and no speed selector is published for this model.
• The manufacturer states ASTM and CPSIA compliance. No certificate number is published.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

Will a three year old fit?

The quad is 33 in long and 21 in tall with a 14.5 in seat, which is small for the category, and the maker states 3 years and up. Measure your child's inside leg against that seat height if you can.

How fast does it go?

3 to 7 mph on the manufacturer's own panel. The top figure is quicker than walking pace, and there is no published speed selector or parental remote, so the child controls it.

What is the weight limit?

66 lb, printed on the maker's dimension panel alongside the age.

Where can it be used?

The manufacturer names asphalt, wooden floors, cement, brick, short grassland and shallow sandy soil. Terrain guides put thick grass and deep sand beyond any toy of this size.

Does it show the battery level?

Yes, there is a power display on the control panel, beside the USB port and the light switch.
