Electric Ride On Toys for Kids

Are you looking for an electric ride on toys for kids?

Electric ride on toys are so much fun for kids. The other day my nephew and 2 sons (aged 2, 3 and 6) spent ages just taking it in turns riding an electric car outside. Both my sons love cars (my 2 year old is currently car obsessed) and for them it's like a dream come true to "drive" their own car. This article gives suggestions of the best electric ride on toys divided up by suitability to different age groups. There are electric ride ons for toddlers, preschoolers and school aged children by the best brands including Fisher Price Powerwheels, Peg Perego, John Deere and National Products Ltd.

Tips on what to look for when buying electric ride on toys for kids :

- Look at the weight limit of the ride on you want to buy as well as the age range to make sure your child will get a good amount of use of the ride on before its outgrown.

- Check the battery size. 6 volt batteries tend to power electric ride on toys which go at a slower speed (normally about 2 mph). The lower speed will extend the battery life. These types of ride on are better for younger children. 12 volt batteries are normally power vehicles which can go at top speeds of 5 mph.

- Warranty - does the product come with a warranty?

- Read the reviews. There are lots of reviews of the suggested electric ride on toys on amazon.com to help you make your choice.

- Make sure you have the space and right terrain for your chosen ride on. Some will only work on hard surfaces others are designed for mud, grass, smooth surfaces and all types of different terrain.

- How many kids can it accommodate. Some of the electric ride ons can have two riders which is great if you have siblings.

If you're looking for an electric ride on toy for a toddler there are a few things you need to consider.

Ease of operation - Make sure your toddler will be able to operate the car. Some cars have pedals you have to push down to operate and these are definitely too hard for my 2 year old to use so look for one with a button to push down and for one that is easy to stop.

Speed - Obviously you don't want your toddler electric ride on to go too fast. Look for a ride on that does about 2mph.

The Fisher Price Power Wheels electric ride on quads and cars are perfect for toddlers aged between 1 and 3.

They come in different themes for boys and girls including barbie, batman and toy story.

They have excellent reviews on amazon.com

They have 6V batteries and their maximum speed is 2mph and can go on hard surfaces and grass.

Toddlers just push the large button to go and stop. There are also foot rests.

There are some great ride on options by Fisher Price Powerwheels and National Products Ltd for children aged 3 to 7 too.

Most of these are 12V ride ons which have two speeds of 2.5mph and 5mph. They are normally able to go 2.5mph in reverse too but check the details of the ride on you are buying.

Some have two seats so two kids can ride in them at once.

They go on grass and hard surfaces.

Peg perego make a range of electric ride ons for kids most of which are tractor type vehicles. Young children will love pretending to be a farmer in his farm on a tractor. There are various electric ride ons by Peg Perego and John Deere to suit ages 2 to 7 featured below.

Some of these have a foot pedal which was too hard for my 2 year old to operate (he's 2 and 3 months) but my 3 year old nephew has no problems. So if you're going to buy one for a younger child maybe try it out so he / she can see if they can operate it.

Fisher Price Power Wheels Kawasaki KFX quads are recommended for the ages of 3 to 5 years old.

12 Volts of battery. Can go two speeds forwards (2.5mph and 5mph).

Are great for going over all kinds of rough terrain (Ruts, wet grass, gravel, mud).

These are definitely outdoor toys because of their size and speed

Older kids will enjoy electric ride ons as much as the younger ones and this quad is recommended for kids aged from 8 years (although reviews show kids younger than this using it). It's faster than the other ride ons featured so you are getting a different category of machine. And for safety a helmet is a good idea
