Rank #6 in Best Kids Ride On Cars 2026: 10 Ranked, 6V vs 12V
COSTWAY 12V Off-Road Truck with Remote, Black
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The COSTWAY 12V Kids Ride on Car is number six in this guide at £119.95. It is a two-motor off-road truck: 12V battery, dual 25W motors, a parent remote with three variable speeds and an emergency brake, LED headlights, music and a horn, lockable doors, an adjustable safety belt and a 30 kg maximum weight, for children aged 3 and up. On the point this guide keeps coming back to — that the headline numbers on these listings disagree with each other and with the price — this one lands on the right side of the price. The most expensive car in the ten, at £216.99, is the only one running a 6V battery, while £119.95 buys a 12V here.
Two things on this listing do not close. The Included Components field lists 1 x Charger, 1 x Instruction, 1 x Remote and 1 x Ride on Truck — no battery — while the fifth bullet says the car comes with a 12V battery. And the star breakdown behind the 4.2 average (10 one-star, 15 three-star, 12 four-star, 63 five-star) adds up to 100 against the 58 ratings the listing reports. Every figure on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we have done; the customer reviews copied in below are quoted as written.
