Chicco Radio Control Johnny Coupe

Even the youngest kids have fun remote-control car options; case in point, the Radio Control Johnny Coupe by Chicco. With its cute design and easy-to-understand controls, buyers (and their happy youngsters) generally adore this little remote-control car.

In addition to being safe for kids 2 and older, users note that the Johnny Coupe is very durable, easy for small children to pick up and move around with little effort, and that it can tackle both carpet and hard floor surfaces with aplomb. Furthermore, parents and kids alike will appreciate that the remote-control unit stores in the car itself when not in use, making it harder to misplace. User reviews at Amazon.com and Target.com are very positive, while some reviews on ToysRUs.com were negative. The few user reviews that are less than enthusiastic complain of possible quality issues and a relatively short battery life.

The Johnny Coupe takes 4 AA batteries and 3 AAA batteries, which are not included. The remote has forward, backward, and left and right directional controls. Ultimately, with a reasonable price and many rave reviews, the Radio Control Johnny Coupe by Chicco is the best bet for even the youngest new drivers.
