Hi All,

Just thought I'd ask the advice of any parents on the forum.

My 7 year old daughter has asked for an electric car for Christmas - have had a look around and I'm worried most of these are aimed at younger kids 6 and under.

Does anybody on here have a child of a similar age with a ride on Electric car - would be great to have any recommendations.

Thank-you in advance.

Lol - yep, kids are gonna be kids - not sure where Alice has got the idea from, but for the last couple of years she has made a beeline in Smyth's straight to these.

We are moving house soon and have a decent large paved patio going across back of the house and round both sides so a fair bit of space to use one (still got a good sized lawn as well, not a complete concrete jungle). I'd resisted up until now on the basis it would otherwise have sat in the shed all year unused.

I can guarantee we are definately not Chavs - but I can see where peeps above are coming from with that comment.

Was going to suggest this.

I remember having to use my legs as a kid.

Or buy a bike even?

Otherwise a kart that has pedals. Buying an electric powered car is fine for 2-3 year olds who can only walk 5 mins before getting tired but not an active child at school

She's got a bike already and she's as fit as a flea, she's a typical seven year old who never sits still lol.

A kart might be a good idea though.

Alice has asked for an electric car for chrimbo - but it's looking like for anything decent a considerable sum of money, so I might have to review this more closely.

Was hoping to get something ok'ish for a couple of hundred but doesn't seem likely.

Definately couldn't justify some of the massive price tags!

Appreciate all the help up to now!

Haha - yeah probably a likely outcome, I've been known to have a go on the kids toys
