Description
x12V Licensed Audi SQ8 Kids Ride On Car with Soft Start, Parent Remote, 3 Speeds and Two 12V Motors, 38.5 in, White
White over silver wheels with the four ring badge on the grille, and a soft start the maker draws as a curve rather than just naming. Two 12V motors on a rechargeable 12V battery give a published 1.86 to 3.1 mph, and four treaded wheels sit on shock absorbers for asphalt, cobbles or a wooden floor indoors.

The problem this solves
What usually goes wrong
A ride on that goes from nothing to full speed as soon as the pedal moves will frighten a toddler once and then be avoided for a month.
How this one answers it
The soft start ramps the motors up rather than switching them on, and the maker draws the two curves side by side to show the difference. Paired with the lowest of the three remote settings it makes a first session something an adult can walk beside.
White bodywork with silver alloy style wheels, lit headlamps and a badged grille.
White with silver trim
White panels against silver wheels and black mirrors, which shows the coupe roofline and the moulded body creases more clearly than the darker colours.
In the seat
One seat with a padded back and a belt across it, a proper steering wheel and a foot pedal on the floor. The doors are moulded shut on this model, so a child steps in over the sill. The seat back is padded and stands 9.5 in tall behind a 12.5 in cushion.
What drives it
Two 12V motors on a rechargeable 12V battery, published at 1.86 to 3.1 mph. Two motors rather than one is what lets a car this light pull away on grass edges and cobbles.
Console and sound
A moulded panel with a speaker, music play, song selection, volume and a power display. The horn and the engine sound sit on the steering wheel itself. Volume is a separate button, so the soundtrack can be turned down without switching it off.

Who is this perfect for?
First time drivers
A gentle pull away and three remote speed settings mean the first few drives can be kept slow and predictable. The lowest remote setting sits well below the 3.1 mph ceiling.
Indoors in winter
Wooden floor sits on the maker's surface list beside asphalt and cobbles, and the car is narrow enough for a hallway at 19 in.
Children who want a real car
A stated Audi SQ8 licence, a badged grille and wheel centres, lit headlamps and an engine sound on the wheel.
