Ride On Toys for kids are some of the hottest toys in the market right now, but with so many options to choose from, it’s hard to pick the most suitable Ride On Car for your child. So we decided to save you the trouble by compiling everything you need to know to make an informed decision, in the only guide you'll ever need. Time spent outdoors engage children in informal, experiential learning through play, and shared experiences with peers, which not only helps improve their interpersonal skills, enhance their creativity, but also gives them fond childhood memories they can look back on. It would truly be a shame if the majority of our children's memories from childhood consisted of time spent on an iPad, virtually jumping through obstacles on Temple Run. Our children need to experience the outdoors again! But like it or not, technology isn’t going anywhere. So the goal is not to get rid of technology entirely, but to bring technology to the outdoors. That’s why we started THE TOYS SHOP®, a premium brand of Ride On Toy Toys for Kids. Ride On Cars are a fantastic way to encourage children to explore the outdoors through technology.

1. They’re Educational Ride On Cars are not educational in the traditional sense of the word… But they certainly offer lessons that your child can take with him for a lifetime. For example, through your guidance as a parent, Ride On Cars teach children how to be more mindful and aware of their surroundings. With safety in mind, children learn to be more careful not to bump into other children or objects. Driving a ride on toy car can also help your child develop an appreciation for driving, and thus pay more attention to you during a car ride, as he curiously observes how you drive. A lesson that could serve him well beyond his years, until he comes of age to operate a real vehicle. Although this may seem a little far-fetched, remember that our childhoods often shape how we view and move through the world as adults. Never underestimate the influences and experiences of a child. 2. They Improve Cognitive Functions In our increasingly ADHD society, it’s hard to stay focused these days. Remember the first time you drove a car? The amount of focus you needed to steer the vehicle, and the amount of attention you needed to pay your surroundings? Ride On Cars can help your child practice this in the exact same way, but on a smaller and safer scale. To your child, he might simply be having fun operating a miniature version of an automobile. But in reality, he is exercising his spatial awareness, concentrating his focus, and improving his motor and coordination skills, when learning how to operate a piece of equipment that behaves in response to his actions. These are mental skills that are easily transferable into different areas of one’s life, such as sports, playing an instrument, cooking, etc.

You’re probably wondering… “With countless different Kids Cars being sold online, how do I find out what features I should look for when selecting the ideal car?” Don’t fret! We’ve got you covered in this section. 1. Safety As a parent, safety is a primary concern when it comes to purchasing any toy. THE TOYS SHOP® prides itself as a premium seller of the Ride On Car market. So when it comes to choosing which models to sell to the market, Their speeds range from 3 to 5 km/h which is around walking speed so you won’t have to worry too much about children veering out of control. Still, it’s important to compare all the safety features offered by different manufacturers. We’ve compiled a list of key safety features that we recommend looking out for when choosing a Ride On Car. Seat Belt One precautionary feature that might be worth noting are seat belts. We all know the benefits of a seat belt in real cars, they help secure your child in place in the case of a crash and minimizes collisions inside the car. But truth be told, the maximum speed of Ride On Cars only exceed walking speeds slightly, so a force strong enough to eject your child out of a car would be very unlikely. Still, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. All 12V models of Electric Ride On Cars sold by THE TOYS SHOP® have a seat belt system for added safety Shock Absorbers Another feature to keep an eye out for are Shock Absorbers. It’s far more enjoyable to be driving a Ride On Car on rugged terrain than on flat concrete surfaces for the simple fact that to a child, it feels more realistic and similar to an off-road experience. However, driving on uneven ground means hitting a lot of bumps that could make it an uncomfortable ride for its passengers. That’s why most cars we sell come with a 2-shock absorber or 4-shock absorbers built-in to help dampen shock impulses to ensure a smooth ride for its passengers. All THE TOYS SHOP® Ride On Cars come with shock absorbers Slow Start Slow starts ensures that the heads of the passengers are not jerked backwards from the acceleration when the car starts. This is an essential feature to have in order to protect children from neck injuries. All THE TOYS SHOP® Ride On Cars have slow starts. Non-Toxic Plastic Chassis With numerous manufacturers sacrificing quality for price, it’s hard to determine which products are made with a material that is not toxic to your child’s health. In this case, it’s best to go the safe route with Ride On Cars by THE TOYS SHOP® Playground. Known for our luxurious, high quality products, our cars are on the pricier end compared to our competitors, but there’s a reason for it. We only source our products from manufacturers that meet a high standard of quality. With THE TOYS SHOP®, expect to get what you pay for, which is a premium, long-lasting toy car. Parental Remote Control Parental Remote Controls are a nice little add-on for Ride On Cars. They help extend the use of the car too. For example, at the initial purchase of the car, your child might not be old enough to steer the car. Or, he may not be tall enough to reach the acceleration pedal. But if you still want the child to feel the thrill of riding in the car, you can control the car via a remote control until you are confident that the child is capable of operating the car by himself, perhaps at a later age. This can be done via a switch on the car. All our cars, with the exception of the ATV, come with a 2.4GHz Bluetooth remote control with a remote distance of 20 to 30 meters. Another great feature is that the remote won’t interfere with other remotes within the same area. 4. Comfort A good sign that the car is of top quality is to check the interior of the cars. This includes leather seating, spacious legroom, and an adjustable back cushion to minimize any discomfort for its passengers. As a premium provider of Electric Ride On Cars for Kids, our manufacturers spared no expense when building our cars. All the materials used to construct the vehicles are of the highest quality for durability and reliability, in order to provide the most pleasurable experience possible for our customers. 5. Miscellaneous Features MP3 A cool little feature to have on higher-end Ride On Cars is an MP3 AUX cord that allows the connection of an MP3 device to the car. Having this feature can enhance your child’s playtime experience by letting him enjoy some of his favourite tunes, nursery rhymes, or storybooks while cruising around in his whip! EVA Rubber Wheels Another feature that you want to look out for are EVA Rubber wheels, with EVA being an acronym for Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate. EVA is optimal for Ride On Cars because they require no maintenance and are very light weight. They are puncture proof, durable, and adaptable to different terrains. They are the perfect material to carry the weight of children and the car combined. Our select Electric Ride On Cars by THE TOYS SHOP® are equipped with highly durable EVA rubber wheels. LED Lights What kind of a car doesn’t have headlights? Most Ride On Cars these days come equipped with LED lights that are powered by the Car’s battery. They shine powerful beams that can light up any dark environment. Perfect for a casual drive at a night time barbecue. Storage The good thing about most Electric Ride On Cars is that the batteries that power the vehicles are compact enough to allow for extra storage space. The storage space is a fun little addition for your child, if he wants to role play different scenarios where storage space is necessary. For example, if your child is role playing as an explorer, he might want to keep his compass and map in his storage, as well as any essential items crucial for success on his make believe adventure!

Our Ride On toys operate with either 12V or 24V electrical power. A higher number of volts (V) means the car is more powerful. While most motorized cars are designed for indoor use, some are powerful enough to tackle tough terrains. 12v and 24v differ in terms of the battery running time, speed, and weight of the car. This brings us to the question, what’s the difference between 12V and 24V cars? A 12V motor draws twice the current that a 24-V motor uses. So, if your kid wants to go up a steep drive, a 24V ride-on will give more power than the 12V counterparts. If your child is young, he or she won’t need too much power 12v normally ages 1 to 4 Another difference between these two electrical systems is the surface for riding. A 12V volt system will ride well on tarmac, grass, and gravel surfaces while a 24V system can tackle any type of terrain. The size of the voltage system will also determine the load it can carry and at what speed. You expect the 24V voltage system to carry more weight than the one that runs on 12V. In terms of age, most manufacturers recommend power wheels that use a 12V system to kids aged 1-4 years. On the other hand, a 24V system is suitable for 4 to 8-year-olds and 2 children. Looking at the skill level, the 24V power rides are suitable for individuals who are more experienced.
