Ride-on power wheels can be a great toy for your little girl. They teach important skills such as self-confidence and cause-and-effect play. As your child grows and learns how to control their vehicle, they will understand the importance of road safety too. There is a lot of choice when it comes to ride-on vehicles, so we have reviewed some of the best available to help you make the best decision.
Considerations When Choosing for a Girl
There is a lot to think about when choosing the perfect power wheels for your daughter. You should think about her personal taste, her age and ability, her size and of course the safety features the vehicle has.
Some power wheels come with a remote for parents to take control of the vehicle. If you are buying for a young toddler, it is worth looking for a car which includes a remote, so your child can start using their new toy at a younger age.
If you have more than one child who will use the car, pick one which has two seats. These are great for your daughter to go to pick up her friends, too! You might also wish to choose a vehicle with a storage compartment so your child can take their toys, snacks and drinks to the park with them.
There are loads of different features on each brand of vehicle. Think about what your child will use – AUX connections, sound and light effects and anything else the vehicle may come with. You should also consider how much you want to spend – some of the larger vehicles with more features can be quite expensive. However, larger vehicles can be used by kids aged up to 7 or 8 years old so if you buy it when your child is younger, they will have years of fun with their new car.
You should also think about accessories for your daughter to wear when riding in her new toy car. Whilst they are generally well-balanced and hard to tip over, you may wish to invest in a helmet and some other safety accessories.
