Read the Instruction Manual
As a parent, it is important to fully understand how the kid’s car works, how to set it up, and the dos and don’ts when using it, etc., you can find all this out by reading the instructions manual that comes available with the product. Once you have grasped all the instructions, you can then teach your little one.
Take care of all car parts
To keep the ride on toy in top condition, you must take care of each and every part of the car. These parts include:
-
Wheels
With all kid’s cars, the wheels would be the first part to become damaged. Most toys have limitations on the surfaces on which you can drive them on. Many kids may not drive on the surfaces they are supposed to causing the tyres to wear out fast. Check and oil the wheels regularly. Use a clean cloth to wipe the rims to keep them clean from dirt and soil. Check for any balance issues and if the tyres are worn out, change them with compatible new tyres.
-
Battery
The battery is like a car engine, it is the heart of the car. If the battery is damaged, then your toy car is also. Always stick to the required battery charging time. Do not overcharge the car as this is a common cause of battery damage. Overcharging will shorten the life of the battery. If you need to replace the battery, ensure it is a compatible one to your car. Please refer to the instruction manual for all recommendations on battery life.

Body
Always clean the toy with a clean cloth every time after use. Avoid scratching the body to preserve the look of the car. When the car is not being used, put it into storage. Try to avoid putting stickers on the ride on as it can damage the paint. Cover the car with a large canvas sheet or cloth.
Find an Appropriate Storage Space
Before purchasing the toy, you should find an appropriate place to store the ride on in the home when the kids are not playing with it. The space should be big enough for the car to move in and out safely without hitting anything that could damage it. Store the toy in the garage, kid’s room, basement or attic, any place that would protect the car for long term use.
Teach your kids how to use the car
It is important to teach your kids how to work the toy car step by step. Be very vigilant at first and safety should be your number one priority. Set some ground rules and also how it is important to take care of the car full time.
