12V Kids Ride On Truck with One Button Start, Parent Remote, 3 Speeds, Slow Start and Spring Suspension, 66 lb, Pink

A dashboard full of unmarked switches means an adult gets called back every two minutes to find the one that makes the truck go, and a child never quite learns which is which.

The controls here are laid out and labelled: one button to start, a music button, a horn, a light control, a speed control and a forward, stop and backward switch. A child works out the sequence within a session and then runs the truck without help.

Pink with black trim

The pink covers the body and the front bar while the grille, wheels and roll bar stay black. Rotating mirrors and a windshield frame finish the cabin off.

Published figures

Ages 3 to 7, 66 lb capacity, a 12V 4.5Ah battery, a 12V 500mA charger, 8 to 12 hours charging and 1.5 to 2.8 mph. The truck measures 39 in by 26 in by 26 in on 10.5 in wheels.

Labelled controls

Every button on the console has a name on the maker's own diagram: horn, music, MP3 player, light control, speed control and the direction switch, with one button to start. It is the clearest layout in this family.

Slow start and the remote

The curve shows speed rising gently rather than jumping. The remote diagram beside it names forward, backward, left, right, speed, brake and a speed indicator, and it takes two 1.5V AAA batteries that are not included.

The whole console is labelled, so a child can run it unaided.

Included, with a brake and direction. Two 1.5V AAA cells, not included.

A gradual pull away and a smooth stop rather than an abrupt one.

A seat belt across the seat and locks on the doors.

One per wheel, under 10.5 in anti slip treaded tyres.

An AUX cord is included, with music and a preset story built in.

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.

Labelled buttons and a single start control mean a three year old learns the sequence quickly and stops needing an adult beside the car.

66 lb across a stated 3 to 7 year band, which is above the 55 lb rating most cars in this size carry.

Wood floor, brick and cement are the surfaces the maker names, and four springs take the edge off the joins between them.

What we stand behind

• Age band, weight capacity, speed, battery, charge time 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.
• No run time per charge and no remote control range is published for this colour.
• The maker lists over-load protection on its badge panel. No detail of how it behaves is published.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

Can a child start it alone?

Yes. There is a single start button, and the rest of the console is labelled on the maker's own diagram.

How much weight does it take?

66 lb, with a stated suitable age of 3 to 7 years.

How fast does it go?

1.5 to 2.8 mph, with three speeds selectable from the included remote.

Does the remote come with batteries?

No. It needs two 1.5V AAA batteries, which the manufacturer states are not included.

How long does it charge for?

8 to 12 hours from the 12V 4.5Ah battery. Run time per charge is not published.
