12V Licensed Maserati Kids Ride On Car with 2.4G Parent Remote, Spring Suspension, Radio and USB, 66 lb, Pink

An age band of three to eight sounds generous until the frame flexes under a six year old, and most cars at this size are moulded plastic with nothing underneath them.

The maker specifies a solid iron frame inside the PP body and states the car supports one rider up to 66 lb, across a 37 to 96 month band. The frame is the reason those two numbers can sit on the same page.

Convertible proportions

A long bonnet, a low tail and an open cabin under a black windscreen frame, in a single pink with silver wheels. At 17.5 in tall it sits lower than most 12V cars, which is what gives it the convertible look.

Age and size

37 to 96 months on the maker's own panel, on a body 40.5 in long, 24.5 in wide and 17.5 in tall. That band is three years old to eight, which is longer than most cars of this size claim.

Wheels and suspension

Spring suspension at all four corners on wear resistant wheels, with asphalt, cobbled road and brick named as the surfaces. Springs on the front axle are what keep a cobbled path from jarring the steering.

The controls

A horn on the wheel, a foot pedal on the floor, a forward and backward switch beside the seat, and a control panel carrying music, radio, a USB port, volume and a power display.

The maker states a licence, with the trident badge front and on the flanks.

From a 12V 4.5Ah battery with a UL certified charger adapter.

Two 1.5V AAA cells, which the maker states are not included.

The maker calls it advanced slow start technology to avoid a sudden start.

All four wheels, on wear resistant material.

Built in music, a radio, a USB port and a power display.

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.

37 to 96 months on the maker's panel with a 66 lb limit for one rider, which is a long run out of one car.

One to two hours of published play time, with a power display on the console so nobody is guessing at the charge.

Spring suspension at every corner, over asphalt, cobbled road and brick.

37 to 96 months with a 66 lb limit for one rider, both stated by the manufacturer.

How fast does it go?
