12V Kids Ride On ATV Quad with 77 lb Load Capacity, High and Low Speed, Portable Handle and Headlights, Ages 3 to 8, Pink

Most quads in this size cap out around 55 or 66 lb. A child hits that around six, long before they are finished with the toy, and the quad goes to a cousin.

This one publishes 77 lb alongside an age band that runs to eight years. It is one of the higher capacities in the category, and it is the number that decides how many summers you get out of it.

Five figures in one row

A rechargeable battery, 1.4 and 2.7 mph, 8 to 12 hours to charge, an age band of 3 to 8 and a 77 lb load capacity. That last one is the reason to look at this quad over a similar one.

The footprint

37.8 in long, 22.8 in wide and 27.6 in tall. Four wheels set wide of the body is what keeps a quad steady, and this one is nearly two feet across at the axles.

Wheels and where they run

The maker calls the wheels quiet, non-slip and wear-resistant, and pictures cement, asphalt, a beach and a lawn. Quiet is not a claim you often see, and it is the one that decides whether a quad is tolerable indoors.

Five separate controls

A start button, a forward and backward button, a high and low speed button, the music and speaker control and the foot pedal. Each job has its own button, which is easier for a three year old than a combined switch.

Published by the manufacturer alongside an age range of 3 to 8 years.

1.4 mph on low and 2.7 mph on high, selected by its own button.

The maker describes all four wheels as quiet, non-slip and wear-resistant.

A handle for moving the quad into a corner when it is not being used.

Textured grips for steering, with wide footrests either side of the body.

Bright headlights, built-in music through a loudspeaker and a horn button.

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.

77 lb is a higher ceiling than most quads of this size publish, which buys another season or two.

Lawn, beach, wood floor, cement and asphalt are the five the maker names. Flat is the theme.

Separate buttons for direction, speed and start are simpler than one lever that does two jobs.

What we stand behind

• The 77 lb load capacity, both speeds, the 3 to 8 year age range, the charge time and the dimensions are all the manufacturer's published figures.
• The manufacturer states ASTM and CPSIA certifications. That is their claim, and no certificate number is published.
• No run time per charge is published, so none is quoted.
• There is no parental remote on this model, so the child's own buttons are the only control.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

What is the weight limit?

77 lb, published on the manufacturer's own icon row alongside an age band of 3 to 8 years. That is higher than most quads at this size, which is the main reason to choose it.

How fast does it go?

1.4 mph on low and 2.7 mph on high, selected by a button on the panel. Both are at or below adult walking pace.

How long does it charge for?

8 to 12 hours, published by the manufacturer. No run time per charge is given for this model.

Is there a parental remote?

No. This quad is driven by the child using the handlebars, the pedal and the buttons. If a remote matters to you, choose a model that lists one.

Can it be used indoors?

The maker names a wood floor among its surfaces and describes the wheels as quiet. Give it a clear run and keep grit off the wheels before it comes inside.
