F.A.Q.

Is Something Wrong with my Vehicle Battery

These batteries on most of the ride on vehicles we sell are designed to be used at least once a month. As stated on your order confirmation email you must charge the battery in your ride on car at least once a month even if you do not use it. This is to keep the cells inside the battery active.

What does the ETA mean on a Pre-Order vehicle?

ETA as we all know stands for Estimated Time of Arrival and that is the date that we expect the vehicle to arrive here in the USA. This is truly an estimate as the shipping ports can be very congested and not be able to get containers off right away. The US Customs department can also take longer than normal to clear the container for importation. Sometimes we are predicting months in advance as to when our order will be completed by the factory which is not an exact date by any means and can change. We do our best to keep you informed if you do place a Pre-Order as to the status of our shipment and any updates. Once the vehicles arrive here in the USA it takes 2 to 15 non-holiday business days to ship to your delivery address. If you have any questions or need clarification please email us and we are happy to help.

I am looking for a car for a first birthday

Typically, the models with the 2.4G remote controls (which most have now) will have a little bit slower start to them which is the main concern for one year old toddlers on their first birthday since their necks are not as strong as a two or three year old. These vehicles actually have a more gradual soft start

6V, 12V or 24V? What is voltage all about?

We do not carry many if any 6 volt vehicles as a vehicle will be fun longer with 12 volts of power and a low speed setting for the younger toddlers, which is what just about every 12 volt vehicle we carry has. There are very few if any 24 volt REMOTE CONTROL ride on vehicles in the USA right now. Most remote control ride on vehicles are for young toddlers, and 24 volt motors can get up to around 10 mph which can be quite fast for a toddler or a parent using a remote control. The Henes T870 has 24 volt motors, but also an onboard computer that regulates the speed to no more than about 5 mph. Some people have asked us about the 24 volt setups advertised on other sites. Do not be confused by companies saying a vehicle has 24 volts because it has two 12 volt batteries. If the batteries are run parallel the voltage is still 12 volts and the reason the vehicle has two batteries is typically to drive four motors (instead of two) or double the run time. A real 24 volt vehicle has 24 volt motors and would require a 24 volt battery or two 12 volt batteries run in series to create 24 volts. Do your research or ask the Car Tots experts at support@cartots.com if you need assistance.
