12V Kids Ride On Bumper Car for Indoor and Outdoor Use, 66 lb Capacity, Safety Harness and Parent Remote, Red

Both sides of the door

The same car, photographed twice: once on a wooden floor and once on paving. At 26 in across with a padded ring around the base, it is one of the few powered toys that genuinely works in both places.

Age, weight and size

37 to 95 months, a 66 lb weight capacity and a body 26 in across and 18.7 in tall. The maker's CPSC, CPSIA and ASTM badges sit on the same panel.

What happens in a bump

A soft bumper strip around the base, a shoulder harness and a slow start. The maker charts its start curve against a sharper one, because the jolt at the beginning of a run matters as much as the bump at the end of it.

Spinning on the spot

Two universal wheels and two driving wheels. The car turns a full circle inside its own footprint, so a clear area a little over a metre wide is enough for the game.

Shown by the maker on a wooden floor and on paving, with flat surfaces named throughout.

Published with an age range of 37 to 95 months.

A shoulder harness behind an ergonomic back, with an anti-slip footrest.

On a 12 V 4 Ah battery, published at 1.9 to 3.7 mph with a slow start.

Two driving wheels and two universal wheels, turning within a 26 in footprint.

Low, medium and high speed plus direction, stated by the maker to take priority over the joysticks.

A toy that works on a wooden floor as well as a patio gets used far more days of the year.

37 to 95 months and 66 lb, which covers most of primary school.

The maker photographs two meeting. Soft rings and a slow start are what make that work.

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.
• 3.7 mph at the top of the published range is faster than an adult walks, which is worth remembering indoors.
• CPSC, CPSIA and ASTM badges appear on the maker's own panel. No certificate number is published.
• No run time, charge time or remote range is published.
• A toy for supervised play. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

Will it mark a wooden floor?

The wheels are plastic and the bumper is soft. What marks a floor is grit carried in from outside, so wipe the wheels when it comes indoors.

What age and weight is it for?

37 to 95 months with a 66 lb weight capacity, both printed on the manufacturer's dimension panel.

How fast does it go?

1.9 to 3.7 mph. The top of that is faster than walking pace, so use the remote's lower settings in a room with furniture in it.

Does the remote override the joysticks?

The manufacturer states that the parental remote control takes priority over the joystick control.

Is there a backrest?

Yes, an ergonomic one, with a shoulder harness in front of it and an anti-slip footrest below.
