Classic ride-on cars bring the shapes of well-known road cars down to child size, with retro curves, chrome-look details and doors that open. They are a good fit for families who want something with a bit more character than a plain toy car, and prices in this category run from €208.94 to €381.33, VAT and shipping included.

A few things worth checking before you choose:

• Seats: most classic models here are single-seaters, like the licensed Mini Cooper 12V ride-on car at €208.94. If you need room for a sibling, look at our two-seater electric cars for kids.
• Voltage: the 12V battery used across this range suits children who already handle a pedal and steering wheel confidently.
• Parental remote: the Mini Cooper 12V with MP3 and 2.4GHz remote (€259.99) and the BMW 507 Retro 12V with 2.4GHz remote (€284.40) let an adult take over the steering.

At the top of the range, the Mercedes Benz Retro 540A costs €381.33. If you prefer a modern silhouette instead, browse our realistic replica cars. Every model includes a 2-year warranty. Free shipping in 7-9 days.
