Will it still carry them next Christmas? And with a sibling on board?

Ride-On Weight Limits Compared

60 of the 68 kids ride-ons in our Australian catalogue show a single maximum load, from 20 kg to 100 kg. Here they all are, highest limit first, with the seats, battery, age range and parent remote. On 5 whips the sellers publish different limits, and we show those too.

Every limit here is the listing's figure, not our test. Nothing on this page has been load tested by Tiny Whips. When sellers publish different limits for one model we show each one, use the lowest only if a shared code proves it is the same model, and otherwise give no single figure. No paid placements.

Weigh your child, and leave some headroom

Maximum load is the total weight the vehicle is designed to carry. Going over it strains motors, gearboxes and the battery, and can affect braking and steering. Choose a limit comfortably above your child's current weight, especially if you want it to last a couple of years or if it will be used on grass or slopes.

A two-seater's limit is usually for both riders

17 two-seaters show a single limit, listed at 40 to 60 kg, median 60 kg, and 9 of them say "combined" in so many words. Treat the rest the same way until the seller tells you otherwise. Shared evenly, a 60 kg limit is 30 kg each (our sum), and the median one-seater in our catalogue lists 30 kg. So a two-seater's bigger number buys room for two, not room for a bigger child. Add both riders together and compare that with the listing. See the siblings guide.

Weight limit and age range are separate checks

A high limit does not make a whip suitable for a younger or older child. Check the published age range as well, and use the Finder, which asks for your child's exact age and rough weight and flags anything under your estimate. Want a shorter list? See ride-ons for bigger kids, or put two or three side by side in Compare.

When sellers publish different limits

5 whips. Sellers of the same named whip publish different numbers. Ask the seller to confirm in writing before you buy.
