A 2.1 mph top speed and a compact 34-in body make this 12V ride on truck a sensible first electric car for a 3 year old who has never driven anything. Soft start and stop ease the truck into motion, and a parent keeps an emergency brake on the remote for the moment a child heads toward the street. Two doors lock shut over a belted seat, and foldable rearview mirrors tuck in so a doorway never catches them. Spring suspension handles patio joints and packed lawn, and the battery recharges in 4 to 6 hours.
