Editorial Review

When it's time to go outside for a bit of fresh air and exercise, the Push Around Buggy from Step2 is ready to roll. Just slip baby in the generous molded seat, hook up the seat belt, grab the handle, and go! While you actually steer, baby can pretend to drive (and can even start the fun with a nifty ignition key). When there's an obstacle in the way or a friend passing by, baby can honk the horn. The buggy rolls smoothly and surely on four oversize poly wheels. A small trunk in the front can hold a few travel items. Both durable and fun, this sweet red and blue Push Around Buggy is a winner. The extra-long handle is removable and can be stored underneath the buggy. --N. Mered ... Read more

Love it!!!
We gave this to our daughter for her 1st birthday and she loves it.She gets so excited when she gets in it and can literally spend an hour riding around in it.It has become our routine for her to go for a ride down to the mailbox and then she puts the mail in the hood.I also agree with another reviewer that the wheels makes it pretty loud.Unfortunately this means I tend not to take her around our very quiet neighborhood and stick to our long driveway.

Buggy rides
My son absolutely loves his buggy.We take him on a buggy ride almost everyday.He loves honking the horn and holding on to the steering wheel.The seatbelt holds him in when we go really fast and spin around.The best gift we got for our son.

The front wheel doesn't turn..hard to push around!
I had my eyes fixed on this item, thinking that i will get it for my son and push him to the park.But I went to the store, and pushed this car out of curiousity.Boy it was hard on the arm because the front wheel doesn't turn!So in order to turn the car, you have to lift the front a bit, kind of like the jogging strollers.I already have a jogging stroller, and am not looking to jog him in this push car.It was hard to push even on the nice smooth floor of the store, I can't imagine how hard it would be to push it on the pavements, or off road in the park.If you are looking to push in straight lines, or workout your forearm, go for it! ...

Great Item
I purchased this item to use with my two year old daughter.It is very roomy as you could fit two children inside, so it makes a lot of room for just her.It had all the features I was looking for such as pockets inside to hold items and weather proof in case we get caught in the rain.It is very easy to attach to my bike.I love it and would recommend it to others.<br /> <br /> The only slight complaint I have is the seat in not that cushy however that is such a minor complaint don't let that stop you from buying one.

Kids love this!!
My kids just love this trailer!! I have a 3 year old and a 14 month old and they just love riding in this trailer behind their daddy as he rides his bike. My 3 year old shouts "I want daddy to ride bike!". It is great that it can also be used as a stroller, just unhook it from the bike and off you go. It is better than a bike seat because this does not tip over and the kids ride together and can have their snacks and juice. It hooks up (and unhooks) so easily from the bike. There is a safetly tether at the hinge also, I guess in case the thing accidently detaches you have a backup. I find only 2 problems: no padding in the seat (only a canvas sling seat) and no 'helmet pocket'(meaning that when the kids have their bike helmets on, their heads are slightly tipped forward because bike helmets tend to be bulky at the back of the head. They cannot lean their heads completely back in the seat. They don't seem to mind too much because they are so excited about going fast, faster, fastest!! behind daddy's bike.

Lovin' It
I just bought this and a new bike also.I walk three of of my five children to school every day, for a grand total of four trips a day (drop off, pick up, drop off, pick up).I thought it would be a great idea to ride a bike instead, and I was right.I recently had a baby and it's great exercise.The kids have a blast pretending to drive to school.Their friends all think it's super-cool, and they are the envy of their Kindergarten and Preschool classes. ...

Long Life
I bought this bike for my eldest daughters 1st birthday ,when they first came out, about ten years ago! My youngest children, 4 and 3 love to ride it and it is still in great condition. It is so easy to ride and fun to push the kids when we go for walks. My son just got a fancy trike for his 3rd birthday and he still prefers to ride this one. His other one has heavy rubber tires making it harder for little ones to learn to petal. I am going to by one for my nephew for his 2nd birthday!

Years of use
We bought this for my first son four years ago. He is now five and still rides this. He even rides it together with my younger son (almost 4). This plastic tricycle is very durable, it has been thru a LOT. It rides very well on the wooden deck.

o.k toy
I do like this toy. It helps baby walk when they are just starting and they can ride it when they get older . It is also very durable. But for the price I would recomend buying a better one cause this is so plain.

Great toy, Very durable
This toy has been through both of my sons and is still in fantastic condition.They both loved to ride on it and used it to help them master their walking skills.

Wonderful!!
We bought this for our 10-month old and it was the greatest thing we could have bought him!It was easy to put together and our little guy loves to push it around the house.He's had it for a couple months now, and can get on and off of it pretty easily.For the low price, this is a great value! ...

Great idea but needs more
I bought this swing for my 7 month old and 2 year old and it's a great concept and is very durable and sturdy. There are a few problems with the leg room as there really isn't enough for 2not even little feet and the seat belts are very small.If they could make the swing a little longer to offer better leg room and larger seat belts this would be a must have for anyone with 2 small children.

Great for twins
My twin boys absolutely loved this swing and it is quite practical for families with twins or siblings close in age. By the end of the summer, though, they were kicking at each other because they were out of leg room. Unfortunately, they had outgrown it by 16 months!It was great while it lasted!

Great for twins or two kids!
I have twins and couldn't find any swings for two out there until this one.What a great item.It's durable, and safe.Even if only one child wants to swing, it doesn't change the flow of the swing.Perfect for kids close in age or when your child has a friend over.Great item!

Not made well at all
We bought this for our son 2 months ago.He loved to ride it and had alot of fun with it.Notice the past tense, it no longer works only 2 months after buying it.First the 1st gear went out of it, then reverse stopped working and now 2nd gear doesn't work either so he can't even ride it anymore.I have been trying to call customer service all day and it says all lines are busy.It won't even allow me to hold for a service rep.I have to keep calling.I'm upset that it is so hard to even talk to someone about it.My friend also purchased this for her son a month before me and is having similar problems.Peg perego told her they are aware of a problem with it and would send a replacement part and instructions on how to fix it.I have also had the same durability problems as with some of the other reviews.The tailgate, hood and bumper won't stay on.The axle in the trailer falls out often.The overall snap together assembly is constructed so poorly that we are constantly snapping things back in place.We have purchased several power wheels in the past for our other children.This is the first peg perego we have purchased.The price was affordable and I like the different styles they have but I don't think I would buy from them again.The price certainly reflects the quality and it's not good.

Great Ride On but Overpriced
My children love this and I recommend it, (...).

Not very happy

Push around buggy is the best
Have had the push around buggy since she was 8 mth.Now 21/2 still loves it.When shopping other kids have to have a ride in the buggy.Everyone ask where to get one.If you don't have one already don't delay in purchasing.Only negative if out for the day can not recline for sleeping.But don't let that stop you from buying one today

Our Favorite Toy
I bought this for my daughter before she was 6 months old and was a little scared she might be too small but she did not like the stroller and we spend a lot of time outside so I thought I would give this car a shot.The strap tightened enough around her that I did not have to worry about her being too small and she fell in LOVE with this car----I should junk the stroller.We live in sandy land and the car pushes so easy....I just cannot say enough good about it----ITS GREAT.Money well spent.I can leave it outside and wash it off the next day.It fits in the trunk of my car---it is just so handy.....BUY ONE.

Editorial Review

This combination tricycle/stroller offers an excellent solution for ambivalent preschoolers who want to pedal one moment and be pushed along the next. As with all Radio Flyer rides, the Voyager is built to last, with a durable steel frame and heavy-duty treaded tires. The trike’s unique feature is its steering and pedal lock that allows kids to either pedal or just sit back and let parents do all the work. For parents’ ease of use, the Voyager has a comfortable stroller-style push bar that adjusts to four different positions, and a snap-on snack tray that holds two drinks and a set of keys. A removable nylon backpack with a waterproof interior is attached to the stroller with velcro, and provides just enough space to carry diaper bag necessities. Kids will love the ringing bell and bucket on the back of trike. Parents will love the adjustable seat and safe turning radius that helps to prevents the trike from tipping. --Cristina Vaamonde ...

Disappointed with Radio Flyer
My son received this as a gift from grandma.We thought, being that it was Radio Flyer, that meant quality.Boy, were we wrong.The steering was completely stripped after one use by my 2 year old.I took it back and am awaiting a new Kettler to be built.Hopefully, this one will be better.I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BIKE!!!Very poor quality.
I also called Radio Flyer before returning the bike and they offered little assistance.However, at the store it seems to be a regular problem as all of the Radio Flyer trikes that they carried had stripped handle bars.

2 Year Old LOVES it!!
We got this trike for our son for his first birthday. He basically just sat on it for the first year and now that he is close to two, he loves it! We use it for walks through the neighborhood and he can now pedal. Although it is hard to steer, we've found it to be great. I highly recommend this for toddlers that are outgrowing their stroller days!

Broke in First Week and repeatedly after
This product is probably the single largest disappointment in our child's 3 years! In the very first week, the cable to the parent bar broke. So we got a replacement after much debate and protests by their customer support. Then, something went wrong with the handle bar and that does not turn the wheel anymore.

Try explaining these to a 2-3 year old!

I cannot believe that this company and this product are still in business with such a shoddy product

This pink and purple girl's trike is equipped with everything a beginning rider would want or anticipate from Radio Flyer. Besides being for first-time riders--excitement enough--it comes with a list of confidence-inspiring features, besides having three large, sturdy wheels on a lightweight metal frame to prevent toppling. There's also a large bucket seat for maximum comfort; easy to reach pedals with foot brakes; easy-grip handle bars with wind-lovin' tassels; a rear-end basket for all kinds of toddler "stuff; and a kitschy finger bell kids will love to ring as they turn blind corners in the house. New riders will take pride in every pedal with a trike so well-equipped. --Diane Beall ... Read more

Dangerous Trike
We just got this trike at toysrus for our 24 month old daughter.It looked so adorable online and in the store, and looked fairly similar to the Kettler that my older daughter had.The price was a plus, as well.However, once we got it home and tried it out, it did not take long to figure out how dangerous this trike is.The first try at a turn and WHAM!the trike tipped and fell over.I thought this might have been a fluke and that perhaps my daughter was not sitting on the trike correctly, so I got her back on and away she went again.About the 3rd or 4th try at a turn and WHAM! Again, the trike tipped and fell over, and this time she got a slightly bloody nose from hitting the pavement hard, face first.Needless to say, I put the bike away immediately and I am returning it ASAP.This trike is definitely a hazard.

We have NEVER had a problem with our older daughter's Kettler Blossom trike.It has NEVER tipped.So, this incident took me by surprise and afterward, I compared the trikes. Although I am not an engineer, it seems fairly clear to me why the Kettler is infinitely more stable.First, the distance between the two back wheels on the Radio Flyer is only 11 inches.On the Kettler, the distance is 14 inches, a full 3 inches wider.Also, the distance front to back on the Kettler is longer.Finally, the wheels on the Kettler are bigger.

Another plus for the Kettler is that the frame is adjustable and as your child grows, you can lengthen the frame to accomodate longer legs.The Radio Flyer is not adjustable.This wasn't a concern for me, because I figured that when my younger daughter outgrew her trike, she would start riding my older daughter's adjustable Kettler, while my older daughter would get a regular bike.

In any event, you don't need to take just my word for it.Please, please, please take a look at the reviews for the Radio Flyer Fold-2-Go trike, which is the EXACT SAME TRIKE as this one, but it is red and blue instead of pink and purple.There are several reviewers of that trike that have had the same experience with tipping.This is an important safety issue and should be of great concern to all parents of young toddlers who are shopping for trikes.

Now, the Kettler is much more expensive, but they make the SAME tricycle as the Blossom, but with a different name and much less expensive.It's called the Kiddi-o Simba. I've just contaced Kettler and verified that it is basically the same trike with the same dimensions and safety features.(you can go to www.kiddi-o.com and call the toll free number yourself.)Plus, it's only 29.99 right now at Toysrus (the same price as this Radio Flyer.)Personally, I'm going to go out and exchange this one for the Simba immediately.Sure, the Radio Flyer is very cute, and the little basket, the bell and the fringe on the handles are adorable.But don't be taken in by how cute it is.It is unsafe.

love it!!
Very durable,folds up easily to go in the car or for storage (when they grow out of it)my daughter is 22 months old and she just loves her bike!!

Super cute and my 16 month old daughter loves it!
This is a super cute trike for beginners and on... Made by Radio Flyer which has been around forever and is great quality! My husband and I found it at ToysRUs and our 16 month old little girl sat right on it as if she had riden it a hundred times! Pink and Purple and really girly yet durable and well- made! We got it for her for Christmas and she just adores it!!! Great price too. Check it out in the store and see if your little one loves it as much as ours! Enjoy! :) ... Read more

Great first bike!
I had a hard time finding a trike that my son, then 2 yrs old, could ride.This was the only bike where he could touch the ground while sitting on the seat - and he test drove every trike at Toys'R'US.The bike has taken a lot of abuse the past 1-1/2 years, but it is holding up great.My son is now 3-1/2 and just starting to grow out of this trike.I would recommend this for any first-time rider!

Okay for 1st-timers, but not very sturdy
We received this tricycle as a gift.It is convenient since it is easy to fold up and take with you.It was also easy for my daughter to learn to use it since she could reach the pedals at a young age (around 2.)But, she outgrew it very quickly and by the age of 2.5 she would tip over if she turned too quickly or went too fast.If you can only buy or afford one tricycle, I'd recommend a sturdier one that will last longer.

My Son LOVES this bike
This bike made learning to ride so easy for my 2 year old. He loves it and loves being able to carry little items like his cup or rocks in the back. Highly recommend this one. ... Read more

The best gift
We buy it for our little girl, she is two years old. It fantastic, my husband ensamble it in 30 minutes, my girl reach the pedals and ride it. It is a good investment, we buy it 4 month age and she used it every day in the park and looks like new.

"Recommended for" ages are wrong
My 2 1/2 year old daughter received this trike for X-mas.She couldn't reach the pedals.She's improvised by straddling it and using her tip-toes to get around with.

It's wonderfully made.It's well worth the money.My daughter loves it.I just don't see any child, ages 18mo to 3years (the recommended ages) being able to use it the way it is intended.

Wrong recommended age
We bought this trike for my daughter's 3rd birthday. Three is the perfect age for this. DO NOT buy this for a child younger than 3 years old, the recommended age from the manufacturer is way too young. And, yes, it was kind of a pain to put together. Give yourself some time, don't wait until the last minute to assemble it. It was worth the effort though, my daughter really loves this trike. And your little princess will as well! ... Read more

Worth the high price
My daughter was given THREE different rocking toys for Christmas - a horse, the Little Tikes blue puppy, and this caterpiller.This is by FAR the favorite.

It's incredibly well made.You really have to see it in person to appreciate the quality of the craftsmanship, but I can definitely tell you it's something she'll be able to pass down to her own kids, and maybe grandkids.

It's just adorable and the colors are wonderful.My daughter was captivated by it from the first time she saw it (at less than a year old).Even when not riding it, she often just wants to touch it or examine its face.

The seat is much more comfortable and easier for her to balance on than her other rocking toys, and she is just delighted by the crinkling, rattling, and squeaking parts.

The only thing that's annoying is the electronic music.The quality is HORRIBLE.It actually scared my daughter at first.But it's easy to turn off.

The price is pretty high for a rocking toy this small, but it's well worth it in my opinion for such a wonderful heirloom-quality toy.

I'm saving this for my grandkids!
My then-15-month-old daughter got this for Christmas and didn't quite know what to make of it at first.She used it for a chair, a step-stool, a climber, a chew toy- everything but a rocker.She eventually figured it out and now, at 19 months, absolutely loves it.She still uses our old wooden rocking horse for fast, active rocking, but on her caterpillar she will lean down with her arms around its neck in a "hugging" gesture and dreamily rock it slowly back and forth. It is so soft and cuddly that she loves to just snuggle on it.
I have even occasionally caught her 8-year-old sister on it, trying to scrunch her legs up short enough to play on it.
Best of all, despite the chewing and other rigours it has been through, it looks as good as it did the day we bought it and is so well-constructed that I plan on saving it for when my grandchildren come to visit (someday...)
This is definitely a keeper!
By the way, we solved the problem with the dreadful music by not showing her how to turn it on.When she discovers it for herself, we will remove the batteries.The "music" is totally unnecessary and is the only flaw in an otherwise wonderful toy.

Adorable!
This is a great addition to a child's room.It makes a great gift and you can also get the story The Very Hungry Catterpillar to go along with it.The only downfall is the music quality.Sometimes it works, sometimes not. ... Read more

Chicco REMOTE CONTROL CAR
I am putting this in the wrong place because I do not see the item on azazon.DO NOT BUYTHE CHICCO REMOTE CONTROL CAR FOR AGES 2+.It did not work at all the first time and the replacement lasted a whole 4 hours!Was not mistreated at all but just not built to last.They are just trying to get your cash; problem is the kids are the ones who suffer.

All-time favorite that stood the test of time
This is an excellent, versatile and sturdy toy that has been played with thoroughly for over 3 yrs.Younger children can use the toy as a kind of pushcart or to steady themselves while walking (obviously you'll want to keep this one away from any stairs).They can also flip open the seat and play with the busy-box under the seat, push the buttons and hear the sounds on the steering wheel and put the little people in the corresponding shaped holes in the back.As children get more mobile, they can take this toy outside and use it as a foot-powered ride-on.My three-year-old twins love this car and have played with it repeatedly at different stages of their development.Well worth it for the variety, durability and pure enjoyment it's given our kids.Bright colors, cleans easily.

Wonderful Toy
This was bought for our son as he started to learn how to walk.It is a great walker-toy while also being a great stationary toy.We actually leave the seat off most of the time as right now he loves to sit IN the middle area and play with other toys or the steering wheel, or even sit backwards and put toys in the open slots and pull them out again.Wide enough to be sturdy for walking around, yet also light enough that if he is rough-housing & it tips it doesn't hurt him, almost funny to him in fact.Also, the fact that it is lightweight allows him to learn to control it as the front wheels turn - good for developing his ability to stand & manipulate the toy.Also, the removable section with buttons & lights is great to take in the car.At 13 mos, he is still too short to sit on the seat & touch the floor, but I feel as that is better for him right now due to his level of development.I can see this being a long-used toy & we are very happy! ...

Wonderful riding toy
We got this toy for our 18 month old for Easter.She adores it!She could ride on this for hours and be happy.The only thing I do not like about it is that the noises it makes are very loud and there is no volume control switch. But, other than that it is fabulous!I highly recommend it!

Worth buying
My 3 year old and 20 month old love this ride-on.There is a large variety of melodies, phrases, activity on this Nemo themed ride-on.I do think it is a little tight fit for my 3 year old to ride but she is able to do so nonetheless and has fun riding or pushing.It's a toy that is worth the money since the kids use it regularly.

Son loves it!

Little ones who crave the feel of a real car will love scooting about in this sturdy aqua and yellow plastic automobile. Like the cartoon character Fred Flintstone, children use the steering wheel for direction control (front wheels turn easily) while making the car go with their foot power. Only the driver's-side door opens and children can sit on a bench-style seat with legs poking down to the ground for easy feet access. Dash accessories include a pretend car key, a beeping horn button, a decal gas gauge, and a speedometer. An ample storage compartment in the back can hold pretend tools, emergency road supplies, or simply a snack for the road. Approximately 35 inches tall, 31 inches long, and 18 inches wide. --Gail Hudson ... Read more

Grand Coupe deserves it name!
When I was little I used to have one now I am going to get one for my brother. I work at a day care and they have one and all the kids do is fight over who gets to ride in the big boy car. It is a must have if you have a little kid. They all love it. They are probably going to buy another one for the day car because it is so popular. They got a Gamecube at the day care, but everyone still insists on using the Grand Coupe. There are kids from 6 months up to 7 years to older kids ride on top. No one has ever gotten hurt. It is the best toy. One time they where fighting over who got to go in it and they accidently pulled of the door the company sent a new door with all the hardware! It is a great buy!

Good quality
This car seems to be really sturdy and built better than other brands.My toddlers love it and fight over who gets to ride.

Discerning Toddler, with discerning Dad, highly approve
My Daughter has an elevated sense of taste, even at 2 1/2.
She liked, but didn't love, the original Cozy Coupe. She wanted the Grand Coupe, no questions. She and I ordered it from Amazon, through ToysRus. The order was simple, the delivery was exactly as forecast. The assembly was also simple, a screw gun helps, although I didn't try it without one.
As far as the car itself goes after a week or so of use....
Four thumbs up!!!!
She rides in it, watches her favorite programming in it, plays independently with it, we play together with it, if I let her she'd likely sleep in there too. She's thrilled, which, of course, means that I am thrilled.
The trunk, or rumble seat, is a big plus, you'd be surprised how much a little thing like that means to a little person. Scruffy the dog loves it back there, a ton of necklaces, bracelets, rings, and two or three juice cups fit nicely too.
I will do ANYTHING for her, if you feel thusly, buy it, it's the Benz of ride ons.
Gotta get a gas pump, mileage is not as good as we expected. Five Stars anyway.

Oh my gosh, they all love it!
Got this for my 1 year old but she has to fight to get ahold of it from her 3 yr old and 5 year old sisters!Very sturdy, doesn't tip over and rolls great over carpet.The older kids are big and the toy is obviously well designed to hold a 55lb kid with no problem.When my 1 yr old does get a chance, she is copying the older kids and trying get a leg over (with some help) and is able to easly scoot it along using her toes.Bought based on the other reviews and this one pans out.Nice to find a toy that lasts longer (both interest and durablity) than just a few months.

Wonderful toy for in the house...
This is yet another wonderful yard sale find! My son has had this toy for 5 months now and plays with it several times a day. It is light enough that he is able to drag it around the house, sit on it and push it easily, and lately I have had to discourage him from standing on the seat like a circus performer on horseback.

It is very durable, my grandparents found it at a yard sale, and the only blemish on it is a small scratch on the wood. The little hub covers worry me as a choking hazard, but they seem to be attached really firmly so I rest a little more easily.

Wonderful purchase, especially for the $3.00 paid for it second hand!

A wonderful toy that grows with your child!
My daughter got this toy when she was about 9 months old.She turned it around backwards and held onto the handles to learn how to walk.She would squeal with delight and do laps around our house.She was able to swing the horse around and go in another direction if she got stuck in a corner.She is now 2 1/2 and races the horse all over the house and outside.This is a great toy that was worth every penny! ...

If you're 3 years old, and your main mission in life is toarrest all the Bad Guys, it's a shame not to have the transportation tocatch up with them. The Tikes Patrol Police Car is the cruiser youneed. Powered by your own two feet sticking through the floor, it's aserious blue machine with blue-and-red fake lights on the 36-inch-highwhite roof. Thirty-two inches long by 17 inches wide, it has one doorthat opens, a squeaky horn on the steering wheel, and a handheld radiounit with sound effects (requires two AA batteries, not included). Thetoy holds a maximum weight of 50 pounds. The car is all plastic, exceptfor wheel struts and screws. Adult assembly is required. --RichardFarr ... Read more

one of the favorite toys in the house
I bought this for my oldest son 2 years ago, just before he turned 2, and it has always been a hit with all the kids who come to our house.At first, my son mostly liked to sit in it in the house, not getting how to push himself around.when we put it outside during a playdate with his friends, they all took turns sitting inside, while someone else pushed from behind.To this day, whether at playdates, birthday parties, or just daily play time on the patio, my boys (now 3.5 and 1) both love this car.Definitely a worthwhile purchase.In fact, we have considered getting a second (maybe a regular car or the firetruck) since this one is such a hit during play time with more than one child.Also very durable -- it's been an indoor toy, an outdoor toy, and has made it through lots of long walks (albeit slow walks, as the little guy does his shimmy-shimmy, Fred Flintstone pedaling!).A good purchase, used daily!

Great Car, awful assembly
My son recieved this for his 2 year birthday. He absolutely loves it. The car is great. So far no problems, everything seems secure and of good quality. The siren is a nice touch, and it's not to loud or abnoxious, although the lights on top don't turn on (the picture on the website is deceiving). The horn works good and there's a "trunk" in back for him to put stuff in.

But there's always a catch! Assembly was a nightmare. While putting this together, I discovered that the hole where the gas tank snaps on had a piece of plastic missing around the edge (it was cracked). So I had to return it and get a new one. That was a total pain and the people at Toys R Us actually gave me a hard time when i wanted to exchange it for another one that wasn't defective (what???!!!) Aside from that, the actual assembly process went very slow. Not a fun thing to do. Some of the parts were really difficult to screw together and putting the wheels on was the worst. But it's still a really cute and fun toy, so just be prepared to be there awhile putting it together. I think it took me an hour!

PROBLEM PUTTING TOGETHER
Great toy, cute concept. My two year old loves it! However, maybe It was just me, but I felt misled by the lights on top. They have reflectors in them. Not lights. And the speaker...doesn't do anything but play a siren. It was VERY difficult to put together because not all the holes that were supposed to be there for assembly were. My husband created them with his own tools rather than return such a big item that we were half way through putting together ... Read more

nice car not good for hilly areas
My husband and I bought this car for our daughter for christmas...she was 13 months old.We used it for the first time a few eeks ago when the snow finally melted and was warm enough to be outside without gloves.We thought it would be good because it goes with a push button and had a handle to steer.Well I was dissapointed...the car barely moves on the grass or going uphill, also when you let go of the button the car will coast downhill which is upsetting.I charged it exactly to the instructions and everything.I guess if you live on a flat area then it would be a great buy.However if you have hilly terrain i'd wait and get a more powerful one as this isn't much fun.

Love it
My daughter received this as a gift for her first birthday.SHE loves her car.When we get home she goes over to her car and she sits in it and presses the button.We have been around the block in it and she loves it!!!One thing that I did not like about the car is that even when the parent controll is on the child can still press their button and go - minor detail.This is by far her favorite gift.

LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My parents bought this for my 15 1/2 month old, who doesn't like sit on toys.We were alittle concerned whether he would like it.He was so excited, he was ready to jump on it as soon as it was done.He loves to go over to it and sit in the seat to tell me he wants to drive.He also loves to drive it in front of the television and sit and watch his favorite shows in it. ...

This sturdy plastic car gives toddlers and young preschoolers the basic thrills of a real car, while parents can relax, knowing that this cherry-red sports car can go only as fast as their kids' little feet can carry them. Children sit on a bench-style driver's seat and poke their legs through to the ground. When they start walking, the car begins to scoot. The front wheels swirl like stroller wheels, making them especially responsive to the steering wheel. The front dash features a pretend key with a Little Tikes key chain and a horn button that beeps when pushed. A small storage bin in back can carry traveling gear or simply a stash of road snacks. Approximately 35 inches tall, 25 inches long, and 16 inches wide. --Gail Hudson ... Read more

I must have got a lemon...
I just went through all 129 reviews for this toy, and most of them were glowing.My son received this car for his 2nd b-day and absolutely loves it.The only frustrating thing is that the steering wheel keeps coming off!Believe me, it wasn't easy to figure out how to put it on in the first place!It comes off almost every time he plays with it, and when that happens we have to wait for daddy to come home and fix it, because mommy is clueless.Just thought you potential buyers should know.

Best Riding Toy Ever!!
My son love this foot powered ride on!He was quite disappointed as he slowly realized that it doesn't really fit him any more.He is now almost 6 and I would say if you have a tall child, or larger footed child then they will out grow it faster.My son started to feel cramped by late four yearsor early five years of age.His feet would get stuck coming out if he had shoes on, but bare foot worked great.Head was getting pretty close to roof as well.But then again he is in the 90% for height!!

This is an awesome toy, and is sturdy, fun, imaginative.You can't go wrong!

not a good first ride on.
My son recieved this as a Christmas gift.I really wanted to wait until his 2nd birthday, but a family member bought it without telling us. Anyways...
I was looking at the Little tike race car toys for a first ride on, not this.This car was difficult to put together.The instructions were horrible (no words all pictures).After a few hours dh and I got it together.My son loves it, he jumped in turned the wheel, but the car didn't move.He plays in the car everyday, but has no clue how to get it to move.He also holds the door while getting his foot in and the car toppled over twice (on level ground).I have to walk around and push it for him.He also slid out from under the car afew times.The more he tried to get up or me help him get up, the more the car would move over him. He does push it himself, but he would rather ride in it than push it. ... Read more
