The majority of Fisher Price Power Wheels vehicles are really focused at children above the age of three, which you would think means a great choice for parents with children in this age group. Not so. Parents' continuously pay large amounts of money on the vehicle that looks the best for their particular child and wrongly assume that they all have the same great Fisher Price performance, capability and fun factor under the hood. Wrong again.

For so many parents, their child's battery powered ride-on just becomes a costly mistake and either ends up cast aside or not really used or they actually spend another large sum of money to now buy the appropriate vehicle. This super quick parent guide attempts to help those parents on the verge of buying a Fisher Price Power Wheels vehicle for their child and hopefully will save you from making the same costly mistakes like so many other parents before and provide your child with maximum safe driving fun at the same time.

Speed

Buy a model that will give your growing child the necessary speed that they will inevitably want as time goes on. PowerWheels vehicles are currently powered by either a 6 volt battery or a 12 volt battery. 6 volts will generally drive the vehicle at about 2.5mph, whereas the 12 volt battery will power the vehicle forward at a maximum of 5mph. However, these 'official' top speeds are under perfect conditions running on a fully charged optimal battery and a perfectly flat, smooth and clean road surface. In reality, you will probably achieve a little less speed.

The 6 volt 2.5mph limit is fine for your older child when they are just getting used to their new toy, but give it a few weeks and the 'crawling' 6 volt speed becomes very boring, very quickly for them, particularly as other kids on bicycles zip past them!

Off Road Driving

Buy a model that is capable of dealing with everyday surfaces other than just the smooth road. In reality you kid will want to drive over concrete, grass and gravel. Some Power Wheels vehicles have been designed for kids that mainly use them in their grass back yard or in the park, but countless parents buy models that simply come to a standstill or enter into crawl mode when they get onto grass and the parents spend most of the time pushing their child and vehicle out.

It is not only the ATV or off road looking vehicles that have off road capability, some of the normal cars have great off road capability as well. Being able to perform over less desirable surface conditions really comes down to the power of the battery (12 volts = best), traction ability (the new Monster Traction = best), tire tread and width (wide rugged tires = best) and weight of vehicle (lighter = best).

Brake Safety

Buy a model with the Fisher Price Power Wheels 'Power Lock' braking system. This is especially important for the faster 12 volt vehicles as opposed to the slower 6 volt vehicles. It's one thing for your child to race their new ride on toy at top speed downhill, but it is always nice to know that when it comes to stopping that the vehicle's braking system can actually stop your child quickly and under control.

The Power Lock braking system is being fitted to most of the 12 volt vehicles now and really does go a long way in providing more capable stopping ability for your child to maximize safety and minimize harm for them. For the older and more advanced drivers out there, this braking system also allows you to pull off some great slides!

Top Power Wheels Picks For Older Children

The most popular and consistently highly rated Fisher Price Power Wheels vehicles that have 12 volt batteries, 'more than' smooth road surface capability and are fitted with the Power Lock braking system include: Barbie Jammin Jeep, Rubicon Jeep, Ford F150, Cadillac Escalade, Kawasaki KFX Ninja, Barbie Ford Mustang and partially applicable is the Lightning McQueen.

Steel Frame is Built for Safety

The Power Wheels Barbie Jammin' Jeep Wrangler is constructed with a sturdy steel frame that supports a maximum weight of 130 pounds. Charming purple accents on the bumper, roll bar, and windshield highlight its durable bright pink plastic exterior. The working doors not only open and close to provide security, but also add realistic detail. For added safety, the interior of the vehicle features smooth contours and rounded edges to protect against cuts and scratches.

Pretend Radio Features Six Jammin' Tunes

Since no driving adventure is complete without music, the Barbie Jammin' Jeep Wrangler offers six jammin' tunes. Using the pretend radio, your child can select from six different preprogrammed tunes to play while on the go. The radio features large buttons for ease of use and colorful details such as station readout and GPS display stickers, making role play fun and convincing.

Two Speeds for Beginners and Advanced Users

Whether your child is a beginner or an advanced driver, the Barbie Jammin' Jeep Wrangler's two driving speeds can accommodate him or her. The vehicle features an electronic power lock braking system that automatically stops the vehicle when your child's foot lifts from the pedal. A shifter with high-speed lockout for beginners provides custom control of driving speeds--low speed for normal 2-1/2-mph cruising and high speed for maximum 5-mph racing. The vehicle can also shift into reverse for convenient backing up.

The Power Wheels Barbie Jammin' Jeep Wrangler performed remarkably well in testing. The vehicle took approximately 90 minutes to assemble and 18 hours to fully charge. Its solid construction and low center of gravity provided optimal handling and balance. Thanks to its 12-volt rechargeable battery, the vehicle drove with sufficient power backwards and forwards, providing an enjoyable ride. However, steering capability was somewhat limited, as was the pretend radio's six preprogrammed tunes. Despite these concerns, kids will likely appreciate the sleek styling, powerful handling, and custom controls.

BARBIE VESPA MOTOR SCOOTERIn the 70s, she tooled around in a monstrous, gas-guzzling RV. In the 80s, she downgraded, just barely, becoming a Corvette cutie. In the 90s, an economical VW was evidence of increased social responsibility. Now, in the 21st century, Barbie saves money, space, and the planet by opting for this Italian import: a powder-blue Vespa. Offering no less glamour, Barbie's new scooter is snazzy, and includes all of the features a real Vespa does--except a working motor. The seatbelt is adjustable, the kickstand supports, the helmet compartment holds a real helmet for Barbie, the seat lifts up for storage, and the wheels turn. Parents will have to attach the scooter's rear-view mirrors; everything else, like Barbie, is ready to roll. This toy contains small parts, not for kids under 3 years old.

For those parents that have already bought a Fisher Price Power Wheels vehicle, at some point you may need to or may want to buy a replacement battery charger. However, unfortunately, not all Power Wheels battery charger accessories are made the same, have the same level of quality, same features or more importantly are not universally compatible with your specific vehicle's battery.

By buying the wrong charger you risk the all too common problems of the battery charger simply not working, causing damage to your battery or not providing the same level of useful features that you could have had for probably the same price. So the two minutes or so to glance over this quick help guide hopefully will save you a lot of additional hassle, wasted time, prevent unnecessary battery damage and you may just end up saving a bit of money along the way.

Power Wheels Battery Charger Compatibility

Basically you need to match the specific battery that you have in your particular vehicle with a compatible battery charger.

This mainly applies to those of you that have a 6 volt battery powered vehicle, as there are currently three types of 6 volt batteries available (green, blue and red) and each of them has a different capacity ranging from 4 amps/hour to 9.5 amps/hour. The easiest way to deal with this is to check the color of your battery and then check the specific battery charger Power Wheels spec before you buy to ensure that it is compatible.

If your vehicle has a single 12 volt battery, then things are a little easier, as there is currently only one white with grey top 12v battery available. Be aware that some Advanced Series Power Wheels vehicles that are 12 volts, actually run on two 6 volt red batteries, so the 6v compatibility check, as detailed above, should be carried out.

Increasing, there seems to be third part battery chargers appearing on the market that are more universally suitable for charging a wider model range of Fisher Price batteries, so these could be an option. In general parents stick to the official Fisher Price battery chargers for brand loyalty and reliability reasons perhaps as well as the fact that the branded battery charger seems to be the most available.

Fast Charge Capability

One of the greatest nuisances for parents and more so for the kids that own a Power Wheels vehicle, is the inevitable continual and extended charging periods that are needed. For those very organized types that anticipate their child's next day Power Wheels adventures and usage and put the battery on charge overnight this is not really an issue.

For the majority of parents that are not so well organized and often face an impatient child that must use their uncharged vehicle and use it now, you may want to consider buying one of the rechargers that allow for a fast charge.

Broadly speaking, although specs do vary, the fast charge capable Power Wheels battery chargers will charge the battery to 80% capacity in two hours, which represents a considerable improvement. However, you should note that for battery longevity, it is recommended that a full charge be completed every other time. Nevertheless, this is a really handy and useful feature to look for on a new charger that usually doesn't increase the price of the actual charger anyway.

LED Indicator Lights

Power Wheels batteries are lead acid types and are very susceptible to damage, depleting charge capacity and failure if not charged correctly. Any number of factors could compromise the effectiveness and usefulness of the battery, especially overcharging and undercharging.

Power Wheels battery chargers are available that take the guess work out of much of the damage causing mistakes by simply including some simple LED lights on it to indicate certain events. Lights warn you when the battery is fully charged, partly charged, fully depleted or your battery is now faulty. Handy really and usually at no extra cost.
