12V Kids Ride On Bumper Car with Dual 25W Motors, 360 Degree Spin, Adjustable Harness and Parent Remote, 66 lb, Pink

Most bumper cars run a single 6 V motor at around 0.7 to 1.3 mph. A three year old is thrilled by that. A six year old pushes the thing along with their feet because it will not keep up with a walk.

The manufacturer sets this car against those directly in its own feature list: two 12 V 25 W motors and a 12 V battery against one 6 V motor and battery. The published speed goes up accordingly.

What is underneath

Two 12 V 25 W motors and a 12 V 4 Ah battery, with a 12 V 500 mA charger. The feature list gives 1.9 to 3.7 mph, while one section of the same record says 2 to 2.5 mph. Both are shown here rather than one being chosen.

How it turns

Two driving wheels and two universal wheels underneath. Push the joysticks against each other and the car turns a full circle without leaving its own 26 in footprint.

Harness, bumper and start

An adjustable harness, a soft bumper strip around the base and a slow start plotted against a normal one. The harness adjusts, which the maker says is to fit growing children rather than one size only.

The panel

Light switch, battery display, USB port, AUX port, music, horn and power switch, all on one face beside the seat. The battery display is the useful one for an adult.

Against the single 6 V motor the maker compares it with, on a 12 V 4 Ah battery.

Two driving wheels and two universal wheels turn the car within its own footprint.

The belt adjusts to fit a growing child, behind an ergonomic backrest.

A padded ring all the way round the base with an anti-slip footrest inside it.

Direction and low, medium or high speed, and the maker states it takes priority over the joysticks.

Horn, music and story, a USB port, an AUX port, LED edging and a coloured headlight.

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.

Twice the motors and roughly three times the top speed of the 6 V cars the maker compares against.

37 to 95 months with a 66 lb capacity, and an adjustable harness to cover the growth in between.

The maker names wood floors, cement roads and ceramic surfaces, all of them flat.

What we stand behind

• The motors, the battery, the 66 lb capacity, the age range and the dimensions are all the manufacturer's published figures.
• The speed appears twice on this record and differently: 1.9 to 3.7 mph in the feature list and 2 to 2.5 mph in one section. Both are shown and neither is corrected.
• 3.7 mph at the top of the wider figure is faster than an adult walks.
• The manufacturer states the remote takes priority over the joysticks.
• A toy for supervised play. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

How fast is it really?

The supplier publishes two different figures on the same listing: 1.9 to 3.7 mph in the feature list and 2 to 2.5 mph in one of the sections. We have shown both rather than choosing. Either way it is quicker than the 6 V spin cars it is compared against.

What is the difference from a cheaper bumper car?

The manufacturer's own comparison is two 12 V 25 W motors and a 12 V battery here against one 6 V motor and a 6 V battery there, with the speed rising accordingly.

Does the harness adjust?

Yes. The maker describes it as adjustable to fit growing children, and it sits behind an ergonomic backrest.

What age and weight is it for?

37 to 95 months and a 66 lb weight capacity, both from the maker's dimension panel.

Can an adult take over?

Yes, with the remote, which the manufacturer states takes priority over the child's joysticks. It needs two AAA batteries that are not included.
