With Christmas fast approaching, along with it comes the stress and pressure of finding the perfect Christmas gift for kids. We want to ensure it will last past the holiday season, grow with them, and even be better if it can be passed on to another sibling later! What if it could also get them outside in nature for fresh air and explore the surroundings fun and engagingly? Read on to find out why we believe a Kids’ ride-on car would be the ultimate Christmas present for children 2-7 years old!
Ride-on toys' benefits include motor skill development, outdoor play, and imaginative fun.
Ride-on cars for kids are so much more than fun and cool. They also offer various developmental, social, and physical benefits to growing children.
Developmental benefits: By driving and steering cars, kids will improve motor skills like coordination, hand-to-eye skills, and spatial awareness (their awareness and closeness to objects in their surroundings). Cognitive skills like navigating, following directions, and understanding cause-and-effect relationships will also improve.
The kids will thrive through their newfound independence while exploring their surroundings!
Physical Benefits: They will naturally spend more time outside, promoting physical activity and reducing screen time! All the pedal pushing and jumping in and out to make it back on track in case it gets stuck in a corner may improve their strength and fitness.
Social Benefits: Ride-on cars offer great social opportunities for group play, where the kids will learn to share, communicate, and direct through their pretend play. They are also a great way to bond through longer family walks/drives.
Emotional Benefits: You’ll see their imagination and creativity flourish while they create different pretend games, such as exhilarating drift-kart races or nerve-racking police car chases. More importantly, you’ll see first-hand the great pride they experience as they learn how to navigate and master their ride-on toy.
Practical Advantages for Parents: Kids' electric cars offer long-lasting enjoyment with adjustable speeds, promote a healthy lifestyle with a lot of outdoor time, and come in a wide variety of models and performances, from toddler-friendly 12v Cars to faster and stronger drift-karts and buggies for older kids.
Perfect for the Christmas Spirit: These big, impressive-looking toys are sure to attract a lot of attention. They are the ultimate show-stopping gift that they will want to try out immediately, so make sure you’ve got them charged up! Unlike other seasonal gifts, an electric car for kids is a year-round adventure that works in different weather conditions and could possibly even be used indoors. Your kids will never forget the Christmas they got the biggest Christmas gift ever!

Depending on your child's age size and developmental stage, some ride-ons are better suited than others.
Toddlers: Smaller, lighter cars with a 12v battery and an R/C Parent remote control are a great choice. For example, the Volkswagen Beetle is a great choice, considering its price, specs, and size.
Adventurous Kids: Faster and stronger 24v Buggies and Drift-Karts that will take them across steeper hills and muddier terrain.
Car Enthusiasts: Consider licensed models such as the McLaren 765LT or Lamborghini Huracán Performante.
Gift-buying tips you should keep in mind!
- ORDER IN TIME! Although many sellers offer express delivery options, you can never be certain how smoothly the Christmas deliveries will be or if the specific car you’ve chosen will still be in stock. Don’t leave it until the last minute to avoid disappointments.
- Open the car as early as possible, build it, and make sure that nothing is missing or not working. This allows you time to contact the seller to try to fix the issue before Christmas!
- Give it a full Charge! Nothing is more stressful than an impatient child wanting to use their new toy immediately when there are no batteries!
