12V 2 Seat Licensed Toyota FJ40 Kids Ride On Car with Parental Remote, Slow Start and Carry Handle, 130 lb Capacity, Pink

This car is 49.6 in long and it does not roll easily once the power is off. Carrying it back by the bumper is how bodywork gets cracked and backs get sore.

The maker builds a handle into the body and shows it being pulled along in their own photo. The car tips onto its rear wheels and tows back to the garage like a suitcase.

Pink over the same body

Only the paint changes. The upright grille, the flat windscreen frame, the step bumper and the row of roof lamps are the same mouldings used across this model, so nothing is lost by choosing the bright colour.

Why the first second matters

The maker plots its slow start against a normal one. Instead of full power the instant the pedal goes down, speed builds over a couple of seconds. That is the difference between a surprised three year old and a confident one.

Getting it back to the garage

The handle sits flush in the body until it is needed. Tipped back on two wheels, the car follows an adult without anyone lifting it. Useful at the end of a play session and useful in the back of a car.

The bench and the belts

Two children sit level with each other, each behind a 3 point belt, and the doors lock. The panel between them takes a USB stick or tunes the FM radio, so the passenger is not just a passenger.

Built into the body so the car can be towed on two wheels when the battery is flat.

Speed builds instead of arriving all at once. The manufacturer charts it against a normal start.

A three point belt on each seat and locks on the doors, plus overload protection in the electronics.

2.4G, rated to 65.6 ft, with three speeds and a brake. Two AAA batteries are needed and not supplied.

Four shock absorbers under 14 in non-slip wheels for brick, cement and rubber track.

The manual panel carries a USB port, FM radio, a wireless connection button and a power display.

A space behind the seats for snacks and small toys.

130 lb capacity, ages 3 to 8, 1.9 to 3.1 mph. All of them the manufacturer's own.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse in two cartons that may not arrive on the same day. 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.

A long private driveway is the natural home for a car this size. Keep it off the road and off shared paths.

If the ride-on lives in a garage and plays on a driveway, the built-in handle is the feature you will use most.

The capacity is for the vehicle, not per seat. Add both children up before you buy, and follow the 3 to 8 year range.

What we stand behind

• Speed, capacity, age range, battery, charge time and the 65.6 ft remote distance are all the manufacturer's published figures.
• The Toyota FJ40 shape is described by the manufacturer as licensed. We claim nothing beyond that.
• No safety certification number is published on this record, so none is quoted.
• The remote needs two AAA batteries that are not included.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

Can one adult move it on their own?

Yes, that is what the handle is for. The maker's own photo shows the car tipped back on its rear wheels and towed along. Lifting all 49.6 in of it is a two person job, so use the handle.

Is the pink car the same machine as the black one?

Yes. Same body, same 12 V 7 Ah battery, same 1.9 to 3.1 mph, same 130 lb capacity and the same 2.4G remote. Only the colour changes.

What does slow start actually change?

It stops the car from going from nothing to full speed the instant the pedal is pressed. The manufacturer publishes a chart of it. For a three year old on a first ride, that gentler pull is the whole difference.

How many children can ride at once?

Two, one per belt. The 130 lb weight capacity is for the car as a whole, so both children together need to be under it.

What is the charge routine?

8 to 12 hours on the supplied 12 V charger. Canadian retailers suggest charging it fully after each session, unplugging once it is done, and topping the battery up about once a month if the toy is put away for the winter.
