Garvee Ride B Series 12V Bumper Car vs Costway 12V Bumper Car

Both are 12V toddler bumper cars with 360-degree spin, dual joysticks or levers, parental remote and a 44 lb limit. The Costway is the bigger, more capable machine: it seats ages 2-5, has two 25W motors, a spray effect, an adjustable seatbelt and a parent-mode emergency brake. The Garvee is aimed at under-3s and is the smaller, simpler car. Owners of both rate them highly, but the Costway has far fewer ratings, so its 4.9 rests on a thinner record.

  • Choose the Garvee Ride B Series if your rider is under 3 and you want a compact, simple spinner with a soft-start and music.
  • Choose the Costway if your child is 2 to 5 and you want two motors, a spray feature, a seatbelt and a parent emergency brake.

What reviewers say

Garvee Ride B Series 12V Bumper Car

  • 4.9 / 5508 ratings

Owners rate it very highly and describe it as a hit with toddlers, especially the spinning and the lights. Complaints center on the low speed and the small size, which limits how long a child fits.

What people mention
  • SpinPraisedOwners say the 360-degree spin is the feature toddlers go back to again and again.
  • Remote controlPraisedParents like being able to steer and stop the car themselves with the remote.
  • SpeedCriticisedReviewers call the 1.2 mph top speed very slow, even for a toddler car.
  • SizeCriticisedOwners say the seat and footwell are tight and children outgrow it quickly.

Costway 12V Bumper Car

  • 4.9 / 533 ratings

Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 33 ratings, buyers are happy with it as a first ride-on. The remote control and bumper design come up as the main draws.

What people mention
  • Remote controlPraisedBuyers like that parents can steer and stop the car for younger toddlers.
  • BumperPraisedThe soft bumper ring is seen as safe for bumping into walls and furniture.
  • Spray functionPraisedKids enjoy the spray feature and it adds to the play.
  • SpeedCriticisedAt 1.24 mph it is slow, so older or bolder kids lose interest.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a 2-year-old?
The Costway. Its stated range starts at 2 and it adds a seatbelt and parent emergency brake. The Garvee is rated for under-3s, so a 2-year-old is at the top of its range.
Which lasts longer as my child grows?
The Costway. It is rated to 5 years and has a wider 12-inch seat. The Garvee is built for under-3s and your child will outgrow it sooner.
Is the Costway worth stepping up to?
Yes if you want two motors, a seatbelt, a spray effect and a parent brake. The Garvee is the simpler pick for a very young rider in a small space.
Which is safer?
The Costway lists an adjustable seatbelt, a soft bumper, a parent-mode emergency brake and ASTM and CPSIA compliance. The Garvee lists a soft-start and a parent remote but no seatbelt.
Do both spin 360 degrees?
Yes. Both turn a full circle in place, and both can be driven by the child or steered by a parent with the remote.
How long does each take to charge?
The Costway lists 8 to 12 hours. The Garvee does not publish a charge time, so plan on an overnight charge for either.
