Or rather, my son, Alexander, aged 10, was the first to drive it. I was in the back seat, with my hand nervously hovering over an emergency parental hand-brake.

It has just one proper seat and a mere handful of controls: an on/off button, a knob that puts the vehicle into reverse or drive, a steering wheel, an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal. All of these are controlled by the child.
But there is also a very tiny back seat, into which the parent can squash.
