A 4x4 kids electric buggy is what to look at when the garden isn't a flat driveway: all four wheels pull, so grass, gravel and small slopes stay drivable. In this category prices run from €394.95 to €655.85, VAT and shipping included, and every model comes with a 2-year warranty. Free shipping in 7-9 days.

Choosing mostly comes down to power and seats. If your child is just starting out, a 12V electric buggy is the gentler step; when they grow and want more pull on rough ground, a 24V electric buggy makes more sense. Two-seat models are the ones to consider when there are siblings, or a friend who always wants a turn.

• Kids Ride On Buggy Sport Outland 4x4 — €394.95, the entry point of the range.
• Kids ride on buggy NEW RSX 24V 4x4 2-seat — €508.94, two seats at a mid-range price.
• Kids ride on buggy Arctic Cat 24V 4x4 two seats — €655.85, the highest-priced model here.

If you're comparing options, decide on the seat count and the voltage first: those two choices are what keep a buggy in use as your child grows, rather than sitting in the garage after one summer.
