Ride On Cars & All You Need To Know About Them

     Ride On Cars are part of the group of kids' toys known as ride on toys or simply ride ons. And as the name points out, these are toys that your child actually sits in or on.

By nature kids love to ride or drive things, be they pretend cars, bikes or adults!

      What makes ride on cars naturally popular with children is that, as well as providing loads of of fun, they give the child the chance to indulge in heavy duty mimicry.

      Your children always want to copy what you, the parent or guardian, says or does - so when they see you driving a car, they want to do exactly the same in their ride on car. They can't wait to be just like you.

      Now, taking a look at the entire family of ride on toys in total, there's a bigger selection than you might think.

      Firstly there are the most popular ones which are; ride on cars , ride on jeeps , ride on quads (4 wheels) and ride on trikes or tricycles (3 wheels). But in addition, there are also ride on trains , ride on tractors, ride on scooters and ride on planes amongst others. But for the purpose of this report, ride on cars is what we'll focus on.

      One point of importance, however, is that you really want to be aware of the difference between ride on cars and pedal car toys. Sellers commonly package pedal car toys into the ride on cars category. For accuracy's sake, these days a ride on car is a battery-powered toy, whereas pedal car toys or push along toys are exactly that - toys that gets from a to b by being pushed or by pedalling. Even though it's true you can physically ride in or on pedal car toys, in commercial terms, there is now a difference. 

      In regard to the electrical element of ride on cars, that's in reference to the toys being powered by a cell attached to a motor which drives one or both back wheels. Typically either a 6V or 12V battery. Of course, you're going to find the ride on cars - 12V electric have more power than their lower voltage cousins and will generally be a little more expensive.

      With a more powerful battery, 12V ride on cars can also carry more weight as rule. They're a bit quicker (typically up to 7-8 kph max speed) and are generally ideal for kids aged 3-8 years. The ride on cars - 6V electric , are ideal for kids aged 2-6 years.

      There are various non-licensed manufacturers of ride on cars offering a wide range of toys. No doubt the most common brand around of ride on car is Injusa. Many unbranded ride on cars also exist, mainly produced in China and which can vary in quality from model to model.

      Be aware of the golden rule when selecting a ride on car or any other ride on - "you get what you pay for". The be all and end all isn't the price, so please make sure you read the detail on all ride on toys - branded or unbranded.

      As mentioned, you can also buy fully licensed products (ride on cars - brands) like BMW and Porsche cars. You'll find the build quality on these ride on cars the best and of course they have a touch of extra class about them.

      Finally, always check to see whether the ride on car you're about to buy will be delivered free of charge domestically. Nowadays this should be standard on virtually all if not every ride on car. It may deviate from this, however, when you buy some of the heavier toys like the bigger jeeps. As a result of their weight, the supplier is charged more for transit and so will pass that slightly higher transit cost onto the consumer. When you go to many physical shops to buy bulky goods, the same thing happens there too.

(You may also find you have to pay a delivery charge if you live in a remote part of the UK, e.g. the Scottish Highlands.)

Thank you for reading - this concludes your ride on car report.

May you and your children enjoy their new ride on cars. 

Sincerely
