At first glance, it might seem like all ride on cars are created equal. However, there are actually a few different factors you'll want to keep in mind when choosing a ride on car for your child. In this blog post, we'll walk you through everything you need to know in order to select the perfect ride on car for your little one.
Age Range
One of the most important things to consider when choosing a ride on car is the age range of the product. Most ride on cars are designed for kids ages 3-8, but it's always important to check the specific age range listed on the product page or in the product manual. If your child is on the older end of the age range, you'll want to make sure that the car has enough power and speed to keep them entertained. Likewise, if your child is on the younger end, you'll want to make sure that the car is durable enough to stand up to their sometimes-rough play.
Weight Capacity
You'll also want to make sure that you choose a ride on car with a weight capacity that's appropriate for your child. Again, this information can usually be found in the product listing or product manual. If your child is taller and/or heavier than average for their age, you might want to consider opting for a car with a higher weight capacity. This will ensure that they're able to stay comfortable while they're playing.
Type of Car
When most people think of ride on cars, they picture electric cars. However, there are actually two different types of ride on cars available on the market: electric and manual. Electric cars are powered by batteries, while manual cars are powered by pedals (similar to a bike).
If you're looking for a car that's low-maintenance and easy-to-use, an electric car might be right for you. If you're looking for a car that will give your child a little more freedom and independence, a manual car might be better suited to them.
Speed Settings
When it comes to speed settings, most electric cars will offer at least two different speeds, if not more. As a general rule of thumb, lower speeds are better suited for younger kids who are just starting out with riding cars. Higher speeds should be reserved for older kids who have more experience behind the wheel.
That being said, every child is different, so it's important to use your best judgement when determining which speed setting is right for your child. You might even want to start with the lowest speed setting and gradually work your way up as your child gets more comfortable operating the car.
