Top 10 Best Kids Pedal Carts
for June 2023

Kids pedal carts, also known as tricycles, are a fun way for kids to get around. While tricycles have been around for decades, kids pedal carts have only recently become popular. These pedal carts, which can be pedaled or ridden, are lightweight, easy-to-pedal, and easy to store, making them perfect for kids on the go.

While tricycles are great for kids of all ages, kids pedal carts are best suited for ages 3 to 5, when children are able to pedal a tricycle without assistance. Tricycles are better suited for children 2 to 3 years old, while kids pedal carts are better suited for 5-year-olds.

In the Different Guide , we test kids pedal carts for durability, safety, and ease of use. We evaluate how durable the cart is, how easy it is to assemble, how safe it is, and how easy it is to store it. We also evaluate how quiet the cart is, how comfortable it is, and how durable the tires are.

After testing dozens of kids pedal carts, these are the Top 10 Best Kids Pedal Carts of 2022:

HONEY JOY Go Kart for Kids, 4 Big Wheels Racer Ride On Pedal Car with 2 Safety Brakes, Adjustable Seat, EVA Rubber Tires, Axle, Clutch, On Foot Pedal Go Cart for Kids Age 3-8(Pink)

HONEY JOY Go Kart for Kids

by HONEY JOY
What We like

This go kart is well-built, durable, and steers well. It has room for more than one child, but the seat's only adjustable to 5 positions, so it only fits children up to about 7. It can be a little hard for 3-year-olds to get on and off, and some reviewers had difficulty putting the go kart together.
