12V Kids Ride On UTV with Detachable Trailer, Dual 25W Motors, 2 Shock Absorbers and Parent Remote, 66 lb Limit, Black and Blue

A gravel driveway throws a hard wheeled toy around. Stones shift, the wheels skitter and every bump goes straight up through the seat, so the toy ends up parked on the grass.

This one runs two spring shock absorbers under four wear-resistant wheels, and the maker names gravel alongside pavement in its own description. It does not make the buggy an off-roader, but it stops the ride jarring.

Buggy plus trailer

The buggy and its trailer come together, and the remote with them. Hitched up it measures 53 in end to end, which is a long toy for a small yard but a good one for a driveway.

What is under it

A 12 V 4.5 Ah battery, two 25 W motors and two spring absorbers. The maker's panel gives 1.9 to 3.1 mph while the written description says 2 mph, so treat the band as the honest answer.

Size and the limits

53 in long, 23 in wide and 21 in tall, with a stated 66 lb weight capacity and an age of 3 and up. The panel carries the maker's own CPSC, CPSIA and ASTM badges beside those figures.

Who drives

Three speed settings and an emergency brake on the handset, or the child at the wheel with the pedal. The remote takes two AAA batteries which are not supplied, so have a pair in the drawer.

Sprung suspension under four wear-resistant wheels, for gravel as well as pavement.

The trailer hitches on for hauling and comes off when a shorter toy is wanted.

Two motors on a 12 V 4.5 Ah battery, with a published climb of 15 degrees in the record.

Three speed levels and an instant stop for the adult. Two AAA cells needed, not included.

A gentle pull away from a standstill in both driving modes.

A spacious seat with a belt, a single start button and a gear switch for direction.

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.

Springs and wide wheels take the edge off loose ground, which is where most ride-ons give up.

The trailer turns a lap of the garden into a job. It comes off when the toy needs to be shorter.

Soft start, a belt and a remote with an emergency brake. The 66 lb capacity leaves room to grow.

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 own panel gives 1.9 to 3.1 mph while the written description says 2 mph. Both are shown rather than one being chosen.
• The 15 degree climbing figure comes from the manufacturer's written description. The icon on their photo panel is not legible enough to quote, so it is not used.
• CPSC, CPSIA and ASTM badges appear on the maker's panel. No certificate number is published, so none is quoted.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

How fast does it actually go?

The manufacturer's specification panel gives 1.9 to 3.1 mph, and the written description says 2 mph. The panel figure is the wider of the two, so treat the top of the range as a brisk adult walk.

What is the weight limit?

66 lb, published by the manufacturer, with a stated age of 3 years and up. The weight is the one that usually ends its life.

Does the trailer come off?

Yes, on a quick release locking pin. With the trailer attached the whole thing is 53 in long, so taking it off makes a real difference in a small yard.

Will it manage gravel?

The manufacturer names gravel and pavement, and the two spring absorbers help. Terrain guides still put deep gravel and thick grass beyond a 12 V toy, so expect a packed gravel drive rather than a loose one.

Does the remote need batteries?

Yes, two AAA cells, and the manufacturer notes they are not included. The buggy's own 12 V 4.5 Ah battery and charger are supplied.
