The Mercedes A100 is a kids electric car in a small Mercedes-styled coupe body — compact enough for the youngest drivers, recognisably Mercedes from the three-pointed star on the front.
The seat is in eco-leather, with belts, the doors swing open the way the real one does the dashboard glows with imitation gauges. The drivetrain is fully automatic: just steer and press the pedal, and the automatic brake catches every pedal release. A music panel plays a soundtrack while the child drives, and headlights up front round out the look.
A parent's remote covers the moments when focus drifts. Best on a flat playground, smooth pavement or paved driveway; one charge covers a typical backyard play.
