Control is what separates this red 12V bumper car from a simple push toy. A child sits in and drives using twin joysticks, one for each side, which is exactly the skill a 2 to 5 year old is ready to work on, and an adult holding the remote can override at any moment without stopping the fun. Both modes start softly, easing the car into motion instead of snapping it forward, and an adjustable safety belt holds the driver across the 12.5 by 9.5 in seat with footrests underneath. Two universal wheels let the car spin a full 360 degrees on the spot, while two training wheels keep forward and reverse runs tracking in a straight line, so the driving stays varied rather than a single circle. A soft bumper rings the body, so a run into furniture registers as a bump instead of a scuff, and that is what makes the car workable indoors as well as outside. Two 12V motors provide the drive from a 12V 4.5AH rechargeable battery, which fills in 8 to 12 hours through an integrated charging hole using the AC120V 0.25A 60Hz charger. LED lights and built-in music run while the car is moving. The shell is molded PP over a metal frame, 30 in long by 23 in wide by 15.5 in tall, weighing 14 lbs with a 44-lb rider limit, and it is CPSIA and ASTM compliant. The remote runs on 2 AAA batteries, which are not supplied.
