12V Kids Ride On ATV 4 Wheeler with Storage Basket, Anti Collision Bars, Backrest Seat and MP3, 66 lb Capacity, Red

Unlike a ride-on car, a quad is open on every side. Whatever a child wants to bring ends up wedged behind them on the seat, or handed to an adult before the first lap.

This one has a mesh basket moulded over the back and tubular bars at both ends. Small toys travel in the basket, and the bars take the knock when the quad finds a fence post.

Basket and bars

The basket sits over the rear rack in mesh, deep enough to hold a few small things without them bouncing out. The bars run across both ends of the quad and are the first thing to touch anything it bumps into.

The seat and the grips

A wide seat with a raised backrest, and handlebar grips with an anti-slip cover. A backrest matters on a quad because there is nothing else behind a child when the machine sets off.

Speeds and run time

1.9 mph on low, 3.7 mph on high and 40 minutes from a charge. The high position on the shifter sits under a protective cover that the maker asks an adult to remove before it is used.

The published limits

39 in long, 24 in wide and 29 in tall, with a 66 lb maximum capacity and an age range of 3 to 8 years. The quad weighs 35.4 lb, so one adult can lift it into a car.

A basket means the stones, the toy car and the pine cone travel with the rider rather than with you.

A backrest and anti-slip grips make an open machine less daunting for a three or four year old.

Bars at both ends take the knocks that would otherwise crack a moulded fender.

What we stand behind

• The speeds, the 40 minute play time, the 66 lb capacity, the age range and the dimensions are all the manufacturer's published figures.
• The ASTM statement on this record is the manufacturer's own wording. No certificate number is published.
• 3.7 mph is faster than an adult walks, which is why the high gear sits under a cover.
• No basket capacity and no 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.

How much does the basket hold?

No capacity is published for it. It is sized for small toys rather than a load, and it is mesh so nothing large will sit in it safely.

Do the collision bars actually do anything?

They take the first contact when the quad meets a step, a post or another toy, instead of the moulded body. They are not a bumper in the car sense and they do not change how the quad should be supervised.

How fast is it?

1.9 mph on low and 3.7 mph on high. The high position sits under a protective cover which the maker asks an adult to remove before use.

What age and weight is it for?

3 to 8 years and a 66 lb maximum capacity, both published by the manufacturer.

How long does it run?

40 minutes on one charge, which is the maker's own figure. Rougher ground and a heavier rider shorten it.
