Under $150 Ride On Cars

Not every first ride needs a big budget. These four 12V ride-on cars come in under $150 and still include the parts that matter: working lights, a music player and one-button slow start so the first drive does not lurch. Three of the four include a 2.4G parent remote.

WMT-206 opens both doors and lights up front and rear - the closest thing here to a car that looks real. WMT-1988 and WMT-666 add a swing function that rocks the car side to side, which keeps younger riders entertained when it is parked. NEL-001 is the entry model with dual 380 motors, wireless music and high/low speed, in blue or pink.

All four are rated for ages 3-6, carry up to 66 LB and top out at 1.8-3.2 MPH. Free shipping and a 6-month warranty on every car in this collection.
