Rather than switching between preset modes, this car gives up its support pieces one at a time. The parental handle, the footrest, and the guardrails each come off separately, so a 12-month-old who needs all three can end up at 36 months on a bare sliding car. An anti-roll board across the base resists pitching forward or backward when a toddler leans hard over the front wheels. At 6.5 lbs it carries up the stairs in one hand and still holds a rider up to 55 lbs Music and a horn sit on the wheel, and the seat lifts to a storage bin.
