Growing up there was nothing I wanted more than a ride-on electric car. The neighbors behind us had the coolest Jeep, and I was ridiculously envious of that beast. It was such an elegant toy in my humble, childhood opinion. It had a horn, and upholstered seating. It was the holy grail of toys. And while I never got to ride a pink Jeep past the the mean boys at the end of the cul-de-sac, my kids needn't worry about such jealousies.

Even though these toys have somehow managed to get even cooler through the years, they’ve also become much more affordable. Electric cars for kids now offer more options, variety, and choice than ever before. They’ve also become significantly safer with the addition of seatbelts, lower speeds, and insulated battery areas. They’re also a smoother ride now, thanks to suspensions designed for multiple surfaces. Back in the ’90s, if you wanted to ride on cobblestone, good luck. Nowadays? Not a problem.

They're built to be tough, comfortable, and safe for your kids, while also still being just totally sick whips. Find the best electric car for your kids now and get ready to cruise.

There is no person more popular to a toddler than a sanitation worker. They have the big truck that eats recycling and garbage. What could be better for your kid than getting to drive their very own recycling rig?

How about giving it fun googly eyes? A shape-sorting compartment? Because this truck has it. It's really for the younger kids and only seats one, but with its sound effects and easy one-button driving, they won't mind flying solo.
