12V Kids Ride On Road Roller with Drum Roller, USB, Wireless Connection and 2.4G Remote, Ages 3 to 8, Pink

A construction toy that only drives in circles runs out of ideas fast, and a child who wanted a digger ends up with something that behaves like a slow car.

The front drum turns on its own axle and sits on an arm that adjusts, so there is a job attached to the driving. Flattening the lawn, smoothing a sandpit or following a parent round the garden all become part of the game rather than an afterthought.

Pink on a machine

Pink panels, gold striping and black running gear, which is a rarer combination than the usual yellow construction livery. The drum and the rear wheels stay black.

What the dashboard holds

A USB port and a button to swap the audio input between a wireless connection and USB, play and next, both volume directions and a power display. The wheel carries the horn, the on and off button, the light switch and the shift lever.

The published numbers

12V 7Ah, an 8 to 12 hour charge, 2 to 5 mph, ages 3 to 8 and a 66 lb limit, on a 49 in body with an 8.5 in square seat.

Where it will go

Cement, asphalt, boardwalk and brick are the four surfaces the maker names, on wear resistant wheels behind the drum.

What we stand behind

• Speed, battery, charge time, age band, weight limit and dimensions are the manufacturer's published figures.
• The manufacturer states ASTM and CPSIA certification. No certificate number is published, and we do not assert the certification ourselves.
• The published top speed of 5 mph is faster than an adult walks. Use the remote's speed settings and keep the emergency brake to hand.
• No run time per charge 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.

What can it play?

Music and a startup sound built in, plus anything on a USB stick or over the wireless connection. One button swaps between the two inputs.

How fast does it go?

2 to 5 mph, with three speed settings and an emergency brake on the 2.4G remote.

What age and weight is it for?

3 to 8 years with a 66 lb maximum weight, both stated by the manufacturer.

Does the drum turn?

Yes, and it sits on an adjustable arm. It is for pretend play rather than real ground work.

How long does it charge for?

8 to 12 hours from the 12V 1000mA charger. Run time per charge is not published.
