12 best kids ATVs

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Most children spend their free time playing on the phone or computer. Some parents buy a children's ATV to take their child away from the screen and encourage active play in the fresh air. Such a toy allows not only to have fun, but also develops confidence and responsibility. Our experts have prepared the TOP-12 of the best ATVs for children, which will help you navigate in the variety and choose the right machine based on characteristics and reviews.

How to choose a children's ATV

Let's figure out how to choose a kids buggy on four wheels. When buying, pay attention to the following parameters:

1. Child's age. First of all, the ATV is selected according to the height of the young rider. Your feet should be able to reach the stands with confidence, and your knees should not protrude much above the steering wheel. ATVs are produced with an indication of the estimated age of the child from 3 to 8 years old, or 8-12 years old, etc.
2. Speed ​​limit function. An important factor that allows parents to set the 7-10 km / h limit so that the young rider first learns to maneuver, brake and enter corners. This will protect the vehicle and the driver from accidental injury due to inexperience. When there is confidence behind the wheel, then you can remove such a limit.
3. Power and top speed. Low-power models (3.5 hp) are only suitable for riding on asphalt or unpaved tracks at a speed of 20-40 km / h. More powerful versions (7-12 hp) allow the ATV to be used on grass, sand and other soft surfaces, as well as to reach high speeds up to 65 km / h. If the operation of the all-terrain vehicle is in the countryside (summer cottage, house of grandparents), then it is better to give preference to more high-torque vehicles of 125-149 cm³ or 1300 W.
4. Number of seats. There are models for one or two children, which affects the ability to ride someone and have more fun. But two-seater ATVs are a little longer, so more space will be needed in the trailer or trunk of the car to transport them.
5. Bumper protection. Young riders often crash into fences, trees or high curbs, so metal arcs protect the motorcycle from damage to the skin.
6. Front and rear lights. If you intend to ride in the dark (for example, it gets dark early in winter), then it is practical to choose an ATV with headlights. The presence of a rear brake light is important for safety on cycle paths where there are other road users.
7. The presence of the luggage area. Children tend to imitate adults by copying their activities. The presence of a trunk will allow the child to provide all possible assistance when working in the garden (to carry equipment, crops, containers with water) or when traveling for shopping.
8. We do not consider front and rear suspension travel, lug development and tire diameter as key factors, since a child will not use a motorcycle in the same way as an adult. But the type of engine is another essential criterion for choosing a children's ATV. We divided our review according to its varieties.
