Electric Ride-on Toy Car Safety Tips for Kids Parents Should Be Aware of
Like every parent, you want your kids to have fun without the risk of injuries and accidents, right? And, educating them about safety and preventive measures regarding electric ride-on toy cars will ensure your little ones have accident-free fun! Let’s get started:
#1: Guide about the speed-
Admit it or not, little ones are always tempted to drive fast at a maximum speed, especially when they are behind the wheel in a ride-on electric toy car. Although these electric toy cars come with high-to-low speed control, kids can lose control while making quick turns or accelerating rapidly, causing falls, tip-overs or collisions and resulting in bruises, cuts and fractures.
So, make sure you choose electric ride-on toy cars with adjustable speed settings and parental remote control. Also, teach your little ones to use the lowest speed settings when they are a newbie at driving an electric car and gradually allow them once they gain self-control and good steering!
#2: Allow to drive on flat surfaces-
Without a doubt, rubber EVA wheels with a great suspension system and front aluminium bumper make this electric toy car seem ready to take rides on any terrain. But, it can be risky to let your kids drive down on uneven grounds, like gravel streets or steep hills, because the car can tip over even if a single wheel sinks or drops off an edge. Or, when you are allowing your children to ride on grass, carefully check the hidden holes and ditches in the lawn so they don’t drive into hazardous spots.
#3: Only one rider at a time-
Electric ride-on cars usually come with 4×4 drive Leather seats, allowing only one or two kids to ride on at a time, although these vehicles tempt them to pile in. However, overloading can increase the chances of accidents as additional weight can cause compromises to steering, braking stability and even distractions!
#4: Buckle up
Today’s electric ride-on toy cars are just the smaller version of your original vehicles, including seat belts, headlights, front bumper and much more. Maybe the seat belt seems like a decorative piece here, teach your little ones to buckle those up every time they are behind the wheel. It will keep your children in the centre of the car’s seat, which means the fall risks are reduced if they drive across uneven patches or over bumps. Make sure you always check that the belt is secured!
#5: Mind the roads-
Even if your kids have gained great driving skills, make sure they are not out on real streets! The ride-on electric toy cars should be in the gardens or household driveways. On the roads, other drivers may miss them coming! Also, keep the maximum speed of their vehicle low and supervise their playtime.
