12V Kids Ride On UTV with Quick Release Trailer, Dual 25W Motors, Soft Start and Parent Remote, 66 lb Limit, Dark Gray

Most toy trailers hitch with a bolt and a nut. Every time the child wants it on or off, someone has to find the tool, and by the time it is done the child has moved on.

The trailer here drops onto a quick release locking pin, which the maker shows on its own detail photo. On for hauling, off for a shorter toy, and it takes about as long as reading this.

How the trailer attaches

The inset shows the hitch itself: a pin that drops in and locks. The trailer in the photo is loaded with plastic balls, which is about the right idea. It is for cargo, never for a second child.

Battery, motors and springs

A 12 V 4.5 Ah battery and two 25 W motors with two spring absorbers under the wheels. The soft start is charted alongside them, showing a gentle line against an abrupt one.

Size and the two limits

53 by 23 by 21 in with the trailer on, a 66 lb weight capacity and a stated age of 3 and up. The CPSC, CPSIA and ASTM badges sit on the same panel as the maker's own marks.

Two ways to drive

The child at the wheel with the pedal and gear switch, or an adult holding three speeds and an emergency brake. Starting in remote mode is the sensible way to introduce a three year old to a 53 in toy.

A locking pin rather than a bolt, so the trailer goes on and off without tools.

Two motors on a 12 V 4.5 Ah battery, with a 15 degree climbing ramp stated in the record.

Sprung suspension under four wear-resistant wheels for gravel and pavement.

Three speeds and an instant stop for the adult. Two AAA cells are needed and not supplied.

A gradual pull away in both driving modes, charted on the maker's own panel.

A spacious seat with a belt, one button start, a gear switch, music, horn and a battery indicator.

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.

A trailer that comes off in seconds gets used far more than one that needs a spanner.

Two motors, two springs and a 15 degree ramp figure cover a normal Canadian driveway.

Soft start, a belt, a 66 lb limit and an emergency brake on the handset. A sensible starting point.

What we stand behind

• The 66 lb capacity, the age, the battery, the motors and the dimensions are all the manufacturer's published figures.
• The maker's panel gives 1.9 to 3.1 mph while the written description says 2 mph. Both are shown rather than one being chosen.
• No trailer load limit is published, and the trailer is not a seat.
• CPSC, CPSIA and ASTM badges appear on the maker's panel. No certificate number is published.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

How does the trailer attach?

On a quick release locking pin, which the manufacturer photographs on its own. No tools are needed, so a child can usually manage it with a little help the first time.

Can a second child ride in the trailer?

No. No load limit is published for it and it is shown carrying toys. Keep passengers in the seat with the belt on.

How steep a slope will it take?

The manufacturer's written description states a 15 degree ramp with the dual 25 W motors behind it. Treat anything steeper as a push.

How fast is it?

1.9 to 3.1 mph on the maker's own specification panel, and 2 mph in their written description. Either figure is a walking pace.

What batteries do I need?

The buggy comes with its 12 V 4.5 Ah battery and charger. The remote takes two AAA cells which the manufacturer notes are not included.
