One USB port is the usual limit on a ride on car, and it rules out an older phone, an AUX cable or a memory card that a family already has lying about.

There are three inputs here rather than one: a USB interface, a TF card slot and an AUX port, alongside the built in music and stories. Whatever the household already owns will plug into one of them.

White over chrome

Upright G class sides in white with chrome running boards and silver wheels, and a spare on the tailgate. White shows the moulded panel lines and the grille detail more clearly than the darker colours. A grab handle and a moulded step help a child climb in.

Doors and locks

Both doors open on a handle and lock with a red catch. The maker's point is that getting on and off is easier with doors that open properly rather than a sill to climb over.

Springs and surfaces

A shock absorber spring at each of the four wheels, over cement floor, asphalt road, stone road and wood floor. Springs at the front are what keep a stone path from jarring the steering.

Size on the floor

45 in long, 27 in wide and 22.5 in tall, at 38.5 lb, from a 12V 4.5Ah battery with a 15V 1000mA charging output. The car comes with a remote and a charger.

A boxy G class shape with the three pointed star and a German plate.

A shock absorber spring at every corner, not just the rear axle.

Power builds and falls away rather than switching on and off.

Three variable speeds and full direction control for an adult.

Two doors that open properly and lock shut.

Three audio inputs beside built in music and stories.

USB, TF card and AUX inputs, so an old cable or a memory card is enough to change the soundtrack.

Springs at all four corners, with cement, asphalt, stone and wood floor on the maker's surface list.

37 to 96 months with a 66 lb weight capacity, both the manufacturer's own figures. Soft start and stop keeps the first drive from being abrupt.

What we stand behind

• Speed, battery, age, weight capacity, net weight and dimensions are the manufacturer's published figures.
• The manufacturer states this is an officially licensed Mercedes-Benz Maybach design and prints an ASTM certification badge. No certificate number is published, and we do not assert the certification ourselves.
• No run time per charge, charge time or remote control range is published.
• The red and yellow variants of this car carry newer artwork with different speed and motor figures. Only this variant's own record is used here.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

How many audio inputs are there?

Three. A USB interface, a TF card slot and an AUX port, alongside built in music and stories.

How fast does it go?

2 to 4.5 km/h on the manufacturer's own specification, with three variable speeds on the remote.

What age and weight is it for?

37 to 96 months with a 66 lb weight capacity, both stated by the manufacturer.

Do the doors open?

Yes, both doors open and lock with a safety catch.

What suspension does it have?

A shock absorber spring at each of the four wheels.
