12V Kids Ride On Bumper Car with Carry Handle in the Backrest, 5 Point Belt, 360 Spin and Parent Remote, 66 lb, Pink

A spin car is a smooth dome with a soft ring around it. Lift it by the bumper and the ring peels. Lift it by a joystick and you break the joystick. It gets dragged instead.

The manufacturer moulds a handle into the top of the backrest. One hand, straight up, and the car comes with you: into the boot, down the basement stairs or out of the middle of the kitchen floor.

Where the handle is

The backrest rises behind the child's shoulders and the handle is cut into the top of it. From standing, an adult reaches straight down to it. The joysticks and the control panel sit well clear of it.

The figures

A 12 V 4.5 Ah battery, two 12 V motors, a 12 V 500 mA charger and 1.55 mph, given as 2.5 km/h alongside. Slower than a walk, which is the right speed for a car meant to be bumped.

Size and fit

26.5 in by 25.5 in and 19 in tall, with a 12.5 in by 7 in seat. A 66 lb weight capacity and a stated age of 3 and up. The seat is the number to check against a taller child.

Two modes and a switch

Joysticks and a high or low speed button for the child, a remote for the adult, and a switch button that decides which is active. The curves below it are the slow start and slow stop.

Moulded into the top of the seat back so one adult can lift the car without gripping the bumper.

Shoulder, hip and crotch straps in front of a high backrest.

Two driving wheels and two universal nylon wheels, turning within the car's own footprint.

Both ends of a run are eased rather than snapped.

A 12 V 4.5 Ah battery, a 12 V 500 mA charger and a published 1.55 mph.

Five light effects, music and a wireless connection to play a child's own audio.

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.

Basement to patio and back again. A handle in the right place is what makes that a one hand job.

3 and up with a 66 lb capacity, on a 12.5 in by 7 in seat. Check the seat for a taller child.

Five points rather than one, in front of a full height backrest.

What we stand behind

• The speed, the 66 lb capacity, the age, the seat size, the battery and the dimensions are all the manufacturer's published figures.
• The manufacturer states this car is ASTM compliant and CPSIA approved. No certificate number is published.
• No run time or charge time is published for this model.
• No remote control range is published either.
• A toy for supervised play. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

How heavy is it to lift?

No weight is published for the car itself, so we cannot give a figure. The handle in the backrest is the maker's answer, and it is placed where an adult's hand naturally goes.

What size seat does it have?

12.5 in by 7 in, marked on the manufacturer's own dimension inset, inside a body 26.5 in across.

How fast does it go?

1.55 mph, or 2.5 km/h. Slower than an adult walking pace.

What is the restraint?

A 5 point belt: two shoulder straps, two at the hips and one between the legs, in front of a high backrest.

Can an adult take over?

Yes. Press the RC or joystick switch button to hand control to the remote, which needs two AAA batteries that are not included.
