Kids Ride On Car Cover, 51 x 33.5 x 33.5 Inch Silver Polyester Taffeta with Elastic Hem and Drawstring Storage Bag, Cover Only

A kids electric car is too big to carry inside every evening, so it lives beside the shed. Rain sits in the seat, the sun takes the colour out of the plastic, and the charging port is open to the sky.

This one is made for a ride-on body rather than a garden chair: 51 in long and 33.5 in across, with an elastic hem that gathers under the sills. The maker describes the silver coated taffeta as waterproof and sun-protective.

The shape it holds

The cover keeps the outline of the car underneath: a raised bonnet, a taller cabin and a hem that stops above the wheels. Nothing hangs loose on the ground where it can be stepped on or dragged.

The measurement that decides it

51 in long, 33.5 in wide, 33.5 in high. The maker shows it over four different body shapes, from a small quad to a four wheel car. Run a tape along your own toy before you order, because the number that matters is length.

What the fabric is doing

The material is silver coated polyester taffeta. The manufacturer lists it as waterproof, sun-protective, fade-resistant, wear-resistant and tear-resistant. Their own close up shows water sitting on the surface in beads rather than soaking in.

Where it lives between storms

A drawstring bag comes with it, so the folded cover goes on a garage shelf instead of into a damp heap. That also makes it easy to take to a grandparent's house with the toy.

51 in long by 33.5 in wide by 33.5 in high, shaped with a cabin rather than flat like a tarp.

The hem is elasticated so it pulls in under the body of the toy and holds on a windy night.

Polyester taffeta with a silver coating. The maker states it is waterproof, sun-protective and fade-resistant.

Packs down into the bag supplied, so it stores dry and does not end up under the lawnmower.

The manufacturer also suggests it for other outdoor toys and small garden furniture of a similar size.

No ride-on vehicle is included. The cars in the photos are there to show scale.

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.

If the toy lives on the deck or beside the shed, this is the cheapest thing that keeps weather off it.

The ride-on stays there all season. The cover and its bag travel in the trunk with it.

Faded plastic and a wet seat are what make a used toy look tired. A cover slows both down.

Does a ride-on car come with this?

No. This listing is the cover and its storage bag only. The vehicles you can see in the manufacturer's photos are there to show what the cover goes over.

How do I know it will fit my toy?

Measure your ride-on nose to tail first. The cover is cut for a vehicle up to 51 in long, 33.5 in wide and 33.5 in high. Most single seat cars, quads and small tractors sit inside that. Long two seat trucks often do not.

Will it stay on when it is windy?

The hem is elasticated so it gathers in under the body of the toy rather than sitting loose on top. The maker states this keeps it in place in windy conditions. On an exposed site it is still worth checking it after a storm.

Can I leave it on all winter?

The fabric is made for outdoor use, and the manufacturer shows it in both rain and snow. Two things are worth doing anyway: brush heavy snow off rather than letting it sit, and take the battery indoors, since cold storage is hard on a ride-on battery.

What is it actually made of?

Silver coated polyester taffeta. The silver coating is what the maker credits for the sun protection. No fabric weight is published on this listing.
