Best Choice Products 12V 3.7 MPH 2-Seater Licensed Land Rover Ride On Car Toy w/Parent Remote Control, MP3 Player - White

First off this is a 100% unbiased review, from the US. Amazon reviews are sketchy anymore.. Anyway.. This is the second "Best Choice Ride On" ive bought off amazon. Dollar for dollar these are the best 'power wheel' type kids little cars there are. I didnt replace the first one because it quit working, it worked great for 2 years and still does. A little tired but its had HOURS of time spent buzzing around. I replaced the single seat only to get a two seat version. Now, there IS a catch. The battery and charger are garbage. They do not last and take forever to charge. What you need to do is wire a 12v wheel chair battery in parallel with the stock battery. They run about $40 on here. This is the one I used. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KC39BE6/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 Also get a 12v trickle charger and let run over night. The new setup will last ALL day even with two kids in it. This is the charger I used. https://www.amazon.com/BLACK-DECKER-BM3B-Automatic-Maintainer/dp/B0051D3MP6 5 stars because even with having to add an auxilary battery it was worth it. $320 plus a $40 battery and these things last all day on a charge for a few years of periodic use, easily.

The best product that you can buy for your kids. We got one of these cars during COVID and for some reason it was doing a noise so we connect to the sale person and he end up sending us a brand new one, so we end up having two of these amazing cars... we love them because they have a control remote for the parents to use at the beginning and our kids now know how to drive them on their own. Best investment for your kids!

Worth it. Takes about 1 hour and 2 people to assemble.

We got this for our son’s 3rd birthday gift. We wanted one with seatbelts, 2 seats, and a remote control and this had good reviews so we went with the Land Rover. The seat belts are too small to go over the 3 year old or the 1 year olds shoulders so we use them around their hips. We love the remote so we can take control if needed and the kids love the radio. However, after only 3 rides and less then 24 hours of owning this car, the rubber grips from the middle of 3 of the tires completely fell off. We tried to file a claim with Asurion but were instead told to return the car. We don’t want to return it, we simply want new tires that don’t fall apart. I contacted the seller through Amazon but haven’t yet heard back. The car still works but is much louder without the rubber pieces on the tires. **updated - we requested new tires but they refused to provide those. Instead insisting that we ship the entire car back and what for an unknown amount of time for them to send a new one. We don’t have the original box or any way to package and haul this car to Fed Ex. VERY disappointed in their complete lack of customer service and obvious refusal to fix what is an issue for many customers.

I read about the wheels splitting. So I bought a 4" neoprene glue strip, and some 4" wide sandpaper like strips, and glued them on the wheels. I think the plastic isn't meant to be driven over pebbles, or rough terrain. I tried finding real rubber alternatives, but couldn't find anything that could act like a tire that would prevent the wheels from splitting, and capture the bumps. I also lithium greased the wheel axles with plenty of grease, and put washers between the wheel nuts and motor bearings, as well as on the front, to minimize the wear on the wheels. You can still use the front wheels on the rear (drive axle), and use some standard barrel wheels on the front in case you need replacements. The front axles are just axles. The rear needs that special fitting that connects to the electric motors. All 4 wheels have such connection. Third, I replaced the battery with a lithium battery I originally bought for a UPS system. The 8Ah lithium battery is an upgrade from the stock 7Ah lead acid, in that it provides more power for longer. The battery has a bms that cuts off overvoltage, and charges up fine till 13.30v. Under use, the voltage drops to 12.3v. This car isn't made to run in grass with 2 kids. Doesn't have sufficient power. But it works fine on level ground like asphalt, a tennis court or other... I agree that the remote isn't the best. It's range is about 30-40ft, and the steering and braking motion are abrupt. Releasing the throttle should have just let the vehicle roll to a stop, rather than lock the wheels, and have the kids heads bop to the front windshield. Mak sure their seat belts are adjusted. I found the smallest setting works best for 4-6 years olds. I spray painted the bottom, knowing Chinese products, they have no corrosion protection. You can go expensive, with some real sealant, or go the cheap way with some spray paint or plastidip. It just needs to cover the screws from rusting. I like that the car has a voltage meter built in the radio. It's probably accurate enough for your needs. With the lithium it took about 1 to 2 hours to drop from 13.3 to 12.3v. So about 4 hours of drive time estimated, as the lithium cutoff voltage is around 10v. More or less depending on the speed setting (fast vs slow). For a 4 to 5 year old, the slow setting works fine, and the fast setting will scare the child.

Great little car it’s made well great design it’s easy to use the power us is just perfect and the remote control is an added plus.
