Description
x12V Licensed Mercedes-Benz SL Kids Ride On Car with Parent Remote, Soft Start, Radio and Wireless, 1.9 mph, Pink
A pink SL roadster shape with the three pointed star on the grille, silver spoked wheels and a German plate. What sets it apart in this price band is how slow it is: a published 1.2 to 1.9 mph, which is below an adult's walking pace at the top end. Dual 25W motors run off a 12V 4.5Ah battery, and the maker states 3 to 8 years with a 66 lb seat load capacity.

The problem this solves
What usually goes wrong
The common worry with a 12V car is speed. A three year old who has only just learned to steer does not need a toy that outruns the adult walking beside it, and most of the category tops out near 3 mph.
How this one answers it
This one is published at 1.2 to 1.9 mph, which is a slow walk rather than a jog. Add the soft start and stop, and the lowest of the three remote levels, and a first session is something an adult can stay alongside without hurrying.
Pink roadster bodywork with silver spoked wheels, lit headlamps and the three pointed star on the grille.
Roadster shape
A long bonnet, a short tail and a single seat with a roll hoop behind it, in one pink with silver wheels and chrome look trim. The mirrors rotate and the headlamps light properly rather than being moulded shapes.
Age and seat rating
The maker states 3 to 8 years and a 66 lb load capacity of the seat on its own dimensions panel. Sixty six pounds is above the 55 lb rating most cars this size carry, which is what stretches the band to eight.
The licence and the badges
The maker puts the real SL R231 above its own version and prints CPC CPSIA and ASTM badges beside them. Those are its claims, printed on its own artwork, with no certificate number alongside.
Wheels, surfaces and soft start
Wear resistant wheels rated for asphalt, cement, rubber and hardwood, with a curve showing the soft start and stop behaviour. Hardwood on the list is what makes a hallway an option in February.

Who is this perfect for?
Nervous first drivers
A published ceiling of 1.9 mph with a soft start and stop is about as gentle as a 12V car gets, and there are three remote levels below that.
Three to eight year olds
The maker's band, with a 66 lb seat load capacity that keeps an older child inside the rating.
Indoors and out
Hardwood is one of the four surfaces named, alongside asphalt, cement and rubber, so the car is not confined to the driveway.
What we stand behind
- Speed, age band, seat load capacity, motor and battery ratings are the manufacturer's published figures.
- The manufacturer states this is a licensed Mercedes-Benz SL R231 design.
- CPC CPSIA and ASTM badges appear on the maker's own panel. No certificate number is published, and we do not assert the certification ourselves.
- No run time, charge time, overall dimensions or remote control range is published.
- A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.
Frequently asked questions
How fast is it?
1.2 to 1.9 mph on the manufacturer's own panel, which is slower than most 12V cars. The remote offers three levels below that.
What age and weight is it for?
3 to 8 years, with a stated seat load capacity of 66 lb.
What can it play?
Built in music, radio stations, a horn, and a wireless connection for a child's own songs, with volume on the dashboard.
Is it certified?
The manufacturer prints CPC CPSIA and ASTM badges on its own panel. No certificate number is published, so we repeat the claim rather than make it.
Does the remote come with batteries?
No. It takes two AAA batteries, which the manufacturer states are not included.
