Choosing the right kids electric ride-on car can be a fun but overwhelming decision for parents. With so many options available from flashy sports cars to rugged 4x4s it's important to know what truly matters: safety, durability, and quality. Whether you're buying your child's first electric ride-on car or upgrading to a larger model, this guide covers all the essential features you should consider to ensure long-lasting performance and safe play.



Why Choose an Electric Ride-On Car?

Electric ride-on cars offer more than just excitement — they promote outdoor play, build motor skills, and encourage imaginative role-play. From smooth rides on the driveway to adventurous journeys in the backyard, these mini vehicles offer hours of active, screen-free fun.

But not all ride-on cars are created equal. To make a smart investment, here's what you should look for when shopping.

1. Certified Safety Standards

Always choose a kids electric ride-on that complies with Australian safety regulations and certifications. Look for:

  • Seat belts or harnesses for added security

  • Soft start/stop function to prevent jerky movements

  • Remote control override so parents can take control if needed

  • Speed limiters for beginner drivers

At Little Tacker Toys, all our ride-on cars are tested and certified to meet safety benchmarks, giving parents peace of mind.

2. Battery Voltage and Power Options

Electric ride-on cars typically come in 12V or 24V battery options:

  • 12V models are great for younger kids (ages 2–5) and offer safe speeds for beginners.

  • 24V models provide more power and are suitable for older children or rougher terrain.

If you're buying for a toddler or young child, start with a 12V vehicle. For adventurous drivers or multiple-rider options like buggies and UTVs, opt for a 24V ride-on electric kids car.

3. Licensed vs. Unlicensed Models

A licensed ride-on car is officially approved by real vehicle manufacturers like Mercedes, Toyota, Jeep, or Land Rover. These models often feature:

  • Realistic logos and styling

  • Authentic interior details

  • Premium quality finishes

While unlicensed versions may be more affordable, licensed cars typically offer better design, build quality, and resale value.

4. Build Quality & Durability

Look for a ride-on electric kids car that uses:

  • Reinforced plastic or metal frames

  • Rubber EVA tyres for better grip and durability

  • Quality suspension for a smoother ride

  • Strong weight capacity for long-term use

Durable materials not only enhance safety but also increase the product's lifespan — especially important if you plan to hand it down to siblings.

5. Features That Add Value

Modern electric ride-on cars often include exciting extras such as:

  • LED headlights and taillights

  • Built-in music, USB/Bluetooth support

  • Horns and engine sound effects

  • Functional doors, gear shifters, and dashboards

These features spark imagination and make the ride more immersive and enjoyable for your child.

6. Ease of Assembly and Support

Choose a retailer that offers:

  • Clear assembly instructions

  • Responsive customer support

  • Spare parts availability

At Little Tacker Toys, we provide all of this — plus 48-hour dispatch across Australia and ongoing support from our in-house team.
