5 Best RC Cars for Kids – Buyers guide

Choosing the best RC cars for kids depends upon several factors. Obviously, the age of the child and the child’s interest. Below are some our choices based upon type of RC car, price, ideal age and customer feedback.

Take note that many of the RC cars have recommended age ranges from 18+, please be advised that pediatricians and other child care professionals strongly advise against providing a child younger than 3 years a toy with small moving parts.

In addition to that, a child of 18 months or even 2 years, does not have the motor dexterity to operate the remote controls and are teething. Eventually they’re putting that toy in their mouth ( As a parent,I might sound sarcastic but I’m not). That being said, we’ve complied a list of RC toys are ideal for kids age range from 36 months to 10 years.

Bear in mind that these ratings are also based on the toy for a particular age range. Anytime purchasing a toy, it is not only important to pay attention to what the manufacturer recommends regarding safety and age ranges, but also to follow common sense rules.

If your baby is still more delighted by the box a toy came in than the toy itself, he or she is not ready for complicated toys. While a car zooming across the floor can keep a child mesmerized, it is still not an age appropriate toy for a child who cannot understand the concept or for whom the toy presents a choking hazard.

It is important to note that descriptions and specifications of items purchased on Amazon.com, are often sold by re-sellers or new manufacturers. Some may not be up to safety standards, and some may be manufactured in countries with no safety standards.

With any radio-controlled car, be sure that the batteries are always fresh, as low batteries will definitely have an effect on the way the car runs, but it can also damage the other parts. Children should be taught to keep all parts of their toys together. If the remote controller gets lost, it is no longer a radio-controlled car.
