i bought this for my 3 year old grandson; steering the car is not that easy, putting his foot on the pedal and just foward is easy enough but he has to bend down to the floor of the car to hit the button to go in reverse and then hit it again to go foward. do not purchase this if you live in the city. but, beware, it does go. the car is big. you need plenty of room for your child to drive this around and it goes faster than you might think and it makes plenty of noise. and if there isn't open space it will go into anything in the way. I think a foot pedal car is a much better idea for a child.
It's his "big truck" now and he loves it. My wife and I brought this truck for our grandson who loves all kinds of trucks and he thought this one was great. It took a little while for him to grasp the whole driving concept, but soon put it together. I thought the assembly was straight forward and the directions were clear and it took me a little over an hour to put it together. It seems to be a pretty durable product and well made.
I would have to catch/prevent him from running into things as he didn't understand steering but he loved to go forward. He obviously couldn't drive it but he did like playing around it and putting toys in the back of the truck. I bought this for my Son when he was 1 year old. At 22 months he drives it around in the backyard but still doesn't understand steering so I have to occasionally move the wheel for him but he still loves driving this. When he was ready to play with it, I modified the foot pedal so that he could easily reach it. At 1.5 years old he was able to climb inside and press the foot pedal. He loves switch from forward/reverse and occasionally will turn the steering wheel but without understanding of what it's doing. I'm sure he's going to figure out steering soon but he still loves driving.
A great toy beloved by my grandson and his brother. Great fun and great prestige as it rolls around the neighbourhood
truck was a 3rd birthday present and since that day it is drove all over our yard, easy for small kids to learn to use, good traction & nice speed, wouold recommend buying an extra battery, or the 2 hour "speed charger" great toy for a resonable price. Very pleased.
