RIDE-ON CAR MASERATI FOR KIDS
This marvelous Maserati comes in red, black, and pink,
as well as white. It features working headlights
and horn, a movable rearview mirror, MP3
input, a high/low speed switch, and doors
that really open and close. Like all the
best electric cars for kids, it also sports
a remote control for parents to keep
their little racer from driving away.
With a top speed of about 2 mph, it
offers a full hour of play time, depending
on speed and terrain.
Recommended for kids three to six
years of age, it has a weight capacity
of 77 pounds.
DIRT ROCKET RIDE-ON MOTOCROSS BIKE
Older kids will love these little electric motorcycles.
Available in MX and SX packages, with 350-, 500-,
or 650-watt motors, they come in blue, yellow, or
green. The 350-watt version (ages 13 and up) can
hit speeds up to 14 mph for about 30 minutes of
ride time; the 650 (16 and up) jacks that to about
17 mph with around 45 minutes of ride time; the
500 (14 and up) falls in the midrange. Pricing is
relative. All feature dual suspension and riser
handlebars, pneumatic knobby tires, a retractable
kickstand, and hand-operated dual disc
brakes.
While all are undeniably cute and cool, it’s important
to note that these motocross bikes are not toys
designed for small children.
RIDE-ON JOHN DEERE TRACTOR
RIDE-ON MERCEDES-BENZ
This officially licensed G63 comes with tons
of authentic touches, including exhaust
pipes, body detail decals, and
opening doors that lock from the outside
for safety. The seat belt and
soft-start design prevent kids
from being startled by sudden
acceleration. The spring
suspension ensures smooth
rides.
We really like that the side
window piece can be removed
as kids grow, extending
the usable life of the toy.
Ever see a kids’ toy and wish you would’ve had one
when you were that age? That’s the way this mini John
Deere has us feeling. This thing is remarkable! It’s got
two speeds—2.25 and 4.5 mph—plus reverse. (High
speed can be disabled for beginners.) It operates
via an accelerator pedal and has farm-like tractor
wheels for traction on grass, dirt,
gravel, or pavement. It also has a
cool stake-side trailer and (get this!)
a working FM radio.
All that’s super-cool, but as parents,
we love the fact that it recharges in
just two hours (claimed).
