12V Licensed Land Rover Discovery Kids Ride On Car with 60 to 80 Minute Play Time, Parent Remote and USB, 55 lb, Pink

The most common complaint about a first electric car is the battery. A charge that lasts twenty minutes turns a birthday present into an argument, and most listings never say how long theirs runs for.

This one publishes the number. Sixty to eighty minutes of play from the 12V 4.5Ah battery, which is a full trip to a park and back rather than a lap of the driveway. The charger is in the box, so the car goes back on overnight.

Pink with a black roof

The pink stops at the roofline and the wheels stay black, which keeps it looking like a car rather than a toy. Rearview mirrors, a windshield frame and the Discovery badging are all part of the moulding.

Battery and run time

A 12V 4.5Ah battery, a published speed range of 1.86 to 3.1 mph and 60 to 80 minutes of play. Those three numbers are the ones worth comparing between cars at this price.

Who it fits

36 to 72 months and a 55 lb weight capacity on the maker's panel, with the car itself at 42.5 in by 25.6 in by 20 in and 26.5 lb. ASTM and CPSIA badges are printed alongside.

Lights that work

The headlamp cluster lights up properly rather than being a moulded shape, and there are LED tail lamps at the other end. On a grey afternoon it is the detail children notice first.

Published play time from the 12V 4.5Ah battery, with a charger included.

An adult picks the speed and the direction. Two AAA cells, not included.

Power builds rather than arriving the instant the pedal moves.

Hinged doors that latch shut, with a safety belt across the seat.

A media player with volume buttons, a horn and a USB port.

Lit headlamps, LED tail lamps, rearview mirrors and a windshield.

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.

Sixty to eighty published minutes covers an afternoon at a park rather than a quick turn on the drive, and the charger comes in the box.

The maker states 36 to 72 months and a 55 lb capacity, so a child at the top of that band is still inside the limit.

A USB port and MP3 playback sit alongside the built in songs, with volume buttons on the dashboard.

What we stand behind

• Speed, play time, age band, weight capacity and dimensions are the manufacturer's published figures.
• The manufacturer states the car is an officially licensed Land Rover and that it is ASTM and CPSIA approved. No certificate number is published.
• Motor wattage on the maker's panel does not square with the battery and run time printed beside it, so it is not repeated here.
• No charge time and no remote control range is published.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.
