12V Licensed Lexus LC500 Kids Ride On Car with Gas Rod Doors and Rear Spring Suspension, Red

Doors on ride on cars are usually the first thing to break: a child swings one open, it drops on its hinge, and after a month it does not close.

Both doors here are on gas rods with a safety lock. The strut takes the weight as the door opens and holds it, so the hinge is not doing the work, and the lock keeps the door shut while the car is moving.

The doors are the giveaway

Both doors open on gas struts rather than flopping down on a hinge, and each carries a safety lock. Inside is a wide seat with a backrest and an adjustable belt. The car is 42 in long, 24.5 in wide and 17.5 in tall, with the spindle grille and arrowhead lights taken from the real LC500.

Five settings across two modes

The 2.4G remote gives a parent three speeds, low, middle and high, plus direction. Manual mode gives the child two, low and high, on a shift switch and a foot pedal. Slow start technology sits behind both, so the car builds speed rather than snapping into it.

Ten things on the panel

High and low speed buttons, previous and next song, music and story, an MP3 port, a power display, a USB slot, volume, a power switch and pause. The power display is the one an adult uses: it shows when a charge is running out before the car stops.

Size and suspension

42 in long and 24.5 in wide, which is a full sized ride on rather than a scaled down one. Spring suspension is fitted to the rear wheels, which is where the child's weight sits.

What we stand behind

• The speed settings in each mode, the licence, the dimensions and the equipment list are the manufacturer's published details.
• The Lexus LC500 licence is stated on the product record. We repeat it as stated and make no claim beyond it.
• An adjustable safety belt is listed by the manufacturer, alongside a safety lock on each door.
• The manufacturer states this model carries ASTM certification. No certificate number is published, and we do not assert the certification ourselves.
• No suitable age band and no weight limit is published for this model, so we do not state one. Judge it on the seat and the child.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.
