Looks like you could ride all the way to the famed Milwaukee Harley factory and back on this toddler hog. Buttons on the frontproduce authentic rev-and-rumble, while another button (near the righthand grip) provides a single forward speed from the rechargeable 6-voltbattery. "Harley Davidson" flame decals decorate the sides, and the20-inch-wide rearend gives plenty of stability. Appropriate for a smallchild and a big flat area. --Richard Farr ... Read more

My son is a motorcycle man!
My son recently got this for his third birthday. I chose this one compaired to the full size Power Wheels Harley cause he is small for his age, and also cause of the difference in cost. He really likes it a lot. It's versatile enough to ride around in the house, and since it's getting cooler, that is great for us. He is really proud of it and it is so durable I can resell it when it's time to purchase a larger Power Wheels.

I am looking for a battery for a Harley Davidson I bought 2 years ago for my grandson. It has 6v 4-0 on it.run no-3070mv.It is blue. Yours looks like it is a cream colored one. I cannot find one anywhere I am wondering if the 6 volt for your harley davidson would work on this on of mine. also I bought a Lil Honda at the same time Cannot find a battery for it. It is a small black one. 6v number on it is 2-30096WM-A. The name on the Lil Honda is Tek Nek Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Christine Mooney

THIS IS AWESOME
We purchased this Harley for our son for Christmas. He is only 14 months old (started walking at 10 months, so he is mobile). He loves it. It took a week or so for him to figure out how to hold the "go" button down (he could only press it over and over before), and he is learning how to steer, but he giggles endlessly when it starts moving. I think it is starting him early on the hand/eye coordination. It is the perfect size for him and I am sure he will get a good 2 years out of it. You can't beat the price, either!

Great lil Harley
This is a great toy that teaches little ones to: stop/go, eye & hand cordination, etc.

Vroom-vroom
My 18 month old got this wonderful motorized bike as a gift. Initially, he was a little apprehensive about riding it but liked the buttons and the noise it made. It didn't take long for him to not be afraid of it and now loves it. Even though this is on the heavy side, this is a wonderful toy. I think it's geared more toward older toddlers and small children. ... Read more

Barbie Jeep
My daughter got her Barbie Jeep for Christmas and the battery will no longer hold charge. She has enjoyed the music that came along with the Jeep more than the Jeep itself.

All the years of waiting were worth it!!!!
We bought this for our daughter that just turned 5. She wanted this for years but we could never afford it. She loves it and has a great time. I also have a 2 year old daughter that loves taking rides with her big sister. There is plenty of room for both of them and they enjoy listening to the Barbie tunes while they are cruising though I wish the tunes played a bit louder so you could hear them over the engine. There's a lot of storage so when we walk to the park, I can keep our snacks in there. I think it will still be in great shape when it gets passed down to my youngest child since the quality seems pretty good. Overall, I love this and I'm so happy my daughters love it too.

a wonderful toy and kids love it howerver, it do not run well on
grass with light weight kids age 3-5, the wheels spins, work well with heavier kids age 3-5 years

Great toy!
I bought this jeep for my 4 year old granddaughter about 2 years ago to ride in my yard. This year I've taken the pin out so that it will go 5 mph and she wouldn't have it any other way. She has become a pro at it! Wanting to ride it every time she is over here. She loves practicing reversing, 3 point turns and pulling up to park in "her" parking space (great experience for the future). She rides it all over the place and knows where she can go and NOT go. She was recently given an old plastic toy gas pump from a neighbor, which she will pull up to and "pump her gas". She especially loves to go over any bumpy or hilly areas she can find. She has NEVER had any kind of accident with it. I know that as long as she can fit into it...she'll be riding it. Well worth the money. My advise would to be to have an extra battery on hand.

A Jeep Like Mommy and Daddy's
Our 2yr. old daughter was thrilled to have a Jeep like mommy and daddy's. But i have heard that the batteries don't last long. Well she is almost three now ( in a week) and the only time that we have charged the battery was when we got it. And it still workes great. It has been left out in the rain and ran into countless trees and fences, and yet still looks brand new. I would recomend this to anyone. This was such a great buy that in a yr when our son turns two we are getting him the jeep fire rescue power wheel. ... Read more

Editorial Review

A train you can ride on? That moves by itself? It's hard to imagine any child not being excited by this prospect. The Santa Fe Train offers an amusement park experience in your own house. Assembly is a snap, literally. The track pieces click together with no problem, and it's so obvious how to assemble the train, you almost don't need the manual. If you feel prepared to take it on, this train set can make for a spectacular birthday or holiday present. In the interests of instant gratification, however, be sure to charge up the battery the night before. Some other considerations for parents: This toy takes up a lot of space: at a bare minimum, 12 square feet. It may have limited replay value, since you can go around and around a track only so many times, even if you are 4 years old. And it requires a bit of maintenance in that you must keep the battery charged up. --David Stoesz ... Read more

Easily off balance
I read all the wonderful reviews and decided to get this train for my 2 year old for his birthday. Product is well crated, assembly simple. I am not sure whether the charger is operating as instructions suggest (green light is always on rather than signalling when battery is charged). Maybe that battery has never gone low when I charge.

My primary problem with the train though is that my child has fallen off of it 3 times. Now to ride it I have to stand in the middle of the track and spin around and around with him to spot him (i.e catch him or prevent him from falling). If he leans SLIGHTLY to the outside, (like turning to see his mom) the train de-rails or falls off the track side ways on to him.

I don't know how all the others had such positive experiences. My hope is my son will gain skill in keping the train on the track and will find it interesting, but any kid that comes to visit, we will have to 'spot'. I guess the educational value of this train for my son is learning to balance on a badly designed moving toy that has a narrow base and has a constantly shifting center of gravity (due to turning on track).

Bottom line - my kid prefers the $6 mega-blocks truck he got to this (...)train.

Great for little boys!!
Received this for xmas 2003, and my just 2 year old and 4 year old sons love this! They spend hours riding around. I've only used it so far on the track, so not sure about use without it. I'm buying a second battery because they ride it for hours and have a fit when I have to recharge it. They received tons of gifts from Santa, and this is by far the most used and loved. I would recommed this to anyone with small children. My 2 year old walked around holding the button down until he felt comfortable riding on it. LOVE THIS TRAIN, and only wish I could ride on it!!!

EVERY LITTLE BOYS' DREAM
THIS TRAIN I NEVER THOUGHT COULD BE SO USEFUL. NOT ONLY FOR MY SON, BUT FOR ME IT WAS A RELIEF. HE WOULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME RIDING IT WHILE I WAS BUSY DOING STUFF AROUND THE HOUSE. THE BATTERY IS VERY DURABLE. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE SPACE ISSUE BECAUSE I LIVE IN AN APARTMENT AND THE FIRST THING YOU SEE WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR IS THE TRAIN BECAUSE IT'S BETWEEN THE LIVING ROOM AND DINING AREA. OTHER THAN THAT IT'S A LOT OF FUN.

have owned it for 2 years, and it *IS* a fun ride on.
Bought it for his first birthday, My son is not very timid, so he was fine with it -- but we held him while going round and round on the track -- he just loves it!. He would use it like a walker himself too, pushing the the black button for little spurts of movement and walking along side.
The track does take up a lot of room, so since we have hardwood floors, I've put the track in storage in the garage for now, and it works great, except of course that at 18 months, while my son can now ride securely by himself and climb off with no problems, he still cant turn it once he gets stuck in the furniture etc. I think the track will get fished out shortly since he loves to play for 30 to 45 minutes at a time riding on it and as an SAHM I'd prefer not to stay right by him to rescue him every other minute when he is otherwise so happy playing. He has now figured out which button does what just fine! Its wonderful that you have to hold it down to move. There is no question of it not stopping when baby wants it to stop and him not knowing how to throw a switch or something. He likes to give blocks and stuff a ride in the back too.
Its very easy to assemble, and having the battery secure is very important to me since my son has excellent fine motor skills and gets into EVERYTHING! So while that means five minutes everytime we want to charge the batteries, its no big deal for the safety plus. It seems durable and has stood up to lots of 2-4 year old visitors well too!

Update after 2 yrs and my now 3 yr old -- he still loves it! It has moved on out to the patio and yard, with a tarp for bad weather. He's finally figured out how to manouver it minus tracks too.
Pros: Great fun when other kids are around. Teaches taking turns and sharing. Very safe battery compartment. It gets played with only 10-15 min at a time, so I have to recharge maybe once a month, and have replaced the sound effects battery only once after a year.
Cons: Derails an awful lot especially the trailer, takes up a ton of room with the track. trailer lid snapped off with some rough handling. No Steering possible without the track(maybe need a large strong build to manouver) I would invest in this for a 12 - 18 mo old child, but unless its a small build child, they will have outgrown both interest and size(45 lb limit) by 3 or 4 yrs old. It has been a hit ride-on toy, and much cuter than other battery ride-ons. All the kids make a bee line for it when they head out, and are very disappointed if I've failed to charge it. A charge still lasts for about 2 hrs straight of play.

Sally's Train Ride
I had this train shipped to my neice up in Juneau, Alaska. Apparently it was the highlight of her 2.5 year-old day. Every kid should have this train...whistle, engine and bell sounds are real sounding and WOW...what a cool toy. ... Read more

Could not have given my 4 year old a better birthday gift!!!
My husband and I bought this jeep for our "future firefighter" for his 4th birthday. He had been asking for it for over 6 months! He cruises around the yard putting out "fires" and giving the dog a blast of cool water. He loves this jeep! He entertains himself for hours. He could not have been more surprised or happy with his jeep! He drives around really well. We already have one jeep but this one was a fire rescue jeep which makes it twice a nice! Great toy!

Great Buy!
I just bought this for my son's 2nd Birthday. I also have a 5 year old. They both just love it. Very easy to handle. Lots of fun! It goes through our grass and bumpy ground really easy. It's even better then the dum buggy my other son had. I would highly recommend this. Good buy for the money.

Watching your kids "drive" like mom & dad: priceless!
We wore out a 2nd hand Barbie Jeep so this one was a replacement, but it's 1000x better - faster and more room. I would pay the $20 to have it assembled next time tho! Considering buying a 2nd battery since they need 12h recharges. 5 stars on quality and value; they never go on sale so don't wait!

Glad I chose this over the gator
Thought long and hard about this and Peg's John Deere Gator. Read the bad reviews on the Gator shift, liked everything else about it. Went to the story and the Gator Shift seemed flimsy. A Power Wheels jeep was the store's play model. Shifter was intact and seemed strong.

Ended up buying the Fire Rescue Jeep for my 3yr old son. He loves it! Took him 1-2 hrs to understand how to steer & use reverse, no drives out of jams. Plays hard in it daily. We have various terrain, and no pavement, no problems with traction. Good purchase. Easy to take the battery out and charge it in the house.

A child's Dream Toy
We got the Power Wheels Fire Rescue Jeep yesterday for my son's birthday. He absolutely adores this jeep and dreams about it at night. To be safe he is only allowed to drive it in the backyard. I only have positive comments about this toy except for one thing. It is a rear wheel drive and sometimes even on the slighest incline or bend, the back wheel spins and the jeep does not have much traction. My son is only 3 years old and does not weigh much. I am hoping that as he grows and gains more weight, the back wheels will get better traction.
Yes the Water Canon and the Shovel is a great hit, though instead of spraying the lawn he sprays us, brrr. ... Read more

peice of crap
(...) THIS TOY IS CRAP. I would not recimend this toy for any body.I bought this toy for my son and it was broken after the first day.I think they should call this toy the crap mobil.(...).I am 21 so it will say that I am 4 but that is how old my son is.

GREAT TOY!!
We received this for our daughter's 1st birthday and she LOVES it!! At first we thought she wouldn't be able to ride it yet since she isn't walking, but she had no problems. This is a GREAT toy and I would HIGHLY recommend it.

Cool Toy!
I just bought this toy for my 21 month old and she loves it...the only thing I wish it had was reverse because she always runs it into things and I have to turn her around or help her back it up...also definitely buy a helmet at the very least because it jerks on initial take-off and if your child isn't holding on well they could easily fall backwards off this unit...the best part of this toy is the ease of use and access of the power button for young children and the stability, even if your child has a little trouble getting on or off the quad doesn't tip over.

Excellent!
We bought this for my daughter's 1st birthday and she loves it!!! She gets right on, pushes the "go" button and she is off. Wonderful item!!! We also purchased the Barbie helmet for safety. ... Read more

My Grandson Loves it!
My 15 month old grandson simply loves this toy. And though he doesn't "squeal" with the ride...he always insists on riding until the battery is very low!! I beleive he could ride it all day! Great toy...but it does take up quite a bit of space.

roller coaster
I got this for my 8 1/2 month old son, ,, he loves this, this is one of the few things that can hold his attention for more than 2 minutes and he crys to get in it...

Very disappointed. What a dull toy
You need to push a button near the bar in front in order to play the music. Keep in mind you must push it while the ride is going. Quite annoying. My 10 month old is just bored by it. From the start, he would just stare at me as it went in a circle and yawn. It was so "thrilling" that he fell asleep on it twice. Other children in the neighborhood (from 7 months to 2 years) have ridden it and also not liked it at all. To be blunt, I could not even give it away. For people interested in buying it, I would suggest waiting and getting the Perego train.

My son LOVES it!
My parents bought this for my 10 month old son for his upcoming birthday and of course, we couldn't wait to open it already... He loves it dearly... He loves ride-on toys and this is the best one of his little collection. He likes to go up and down the track and even waves "bye-bye" as he goes by. It was very easy for my husband to put it together... we couldn't wait to see him on it! Note: you do have to charge the battery for a minimum of 18 hours beforehand. Too bad they didn't have this toy at the store, so we ordered it online, which took a while. But I'm really glad that we got it, well worth it.

Music in Motion Roller Coaster
I bought this for my triplets when they were 10 months old. They all enjoy it so much. They are now 2 years old.They keep asking for the "car". Although, it is hard for them to share, they do get 5-10 min. increments on the "car". We keep it in a separate room, so they won't try to start it up when another is in the way. I think it is an excellant toy and one I would sincerely encourage parents to buy it for fun and entertainment. Not to mention they learn at about 1 1/2 years to operate it themselves. The seat belt is super for safety. ... Read more

J.C. joy
My son is only 2 years old and he loves his motorcycle. This toy was the only thing that came close to being like a real motorcycle. The only complaint was that one of the back motors went bad, but so far the company has been working with me to get it replaced. My son has learned how to steer and how to control the bike very well. J.C. loves his kawasaki!!!
Thank you power wheels we hope to see a different model next year!!

Correction (...)
(...) Those side wheels are where the motors are connected. The regular front and back motorcycle wheels do not have motors on them. The plastic side wheels will wear quickly. There is a guy on ebay that sells rubber slip-ons to give these power wheel toys more traction. Definitely recommend. As far as complexity of assembly. This was one of the easier to assemble products I've done. Took an hour at the most. Some of the Cap nuts are a little challengine to hammer. I would recommend a couple of bricks or pieces of wood for backing up one end while hammering the other.

Tip: The battery charger comes stored under the seat when first purchased. I thought mine was missing when I opened the box.

my 2 year old loves this
I bought this for my 2 1/2 yr old son and he loves it. This is really a nice built toy. Putting this together is of med difficulty, I suggest doing it at night for your kids will want to ride it when it is done,but you'll need to charge the battery.If its dark out the will be more likely to understand why they can't ride it yet. The battery needs to charge 14-16 hours right out of the box and after every use(says the instructions). I charge it almost every night for my son rides every day. We have had it over a month and he still lights up when he gets on it. The only thing you will have to really teach your kids is to get on from the side the peddle is not on. My son got on the other side once and it took off and he stayed put.It scared him good and I then made sure he only gets on the other side(it took a day of reminders). This bike goes pretty fast on the high speed setting, fast enough where I have to walk really fast to keep up. I put the high speed on right from the start. There is a throttle that controls the high speed and the foot is the low speed. The foot needs to be pressed in order for the throttle to activate the high speed and my 2yr old picked this up instantly. He only drives fast so I bought a dirtbike helmut like daddy's for him to wear.Overall this is the best money spent in his 2 1/2 years. I mean that.When he first rode this he had tears of joy in his eyes. I felt like the best dad in the world.Buy your kid this toy if he loves dirtbikes. You will not be disappointed.

BEST PURCHASE YET!!!!
My son is 34months old (not quite 3) and LOVES, LOVES, LOVES this "dirt bike". He rides it everyday and we keep an extra battery on charge at all times, which works out perfectly. He figured out the hand throttle without even being shown, and has started to do "tricks". Several neighbors have stopped to watch him zing around the yard and comment on how amazingly cute it is. Educational? You bet - teaches coordination, care of owning something, etc.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FOR ANY MOTORCYCLE LOVING KID!!!

Favorite toy!
This birthday present is a -huge- success for 3yr old son. Have had this for over a month now and is still by far his favorite. Each time he jumps on this I'm impressed at the style and quality of this cycle. Was very skeptical that he would have a control issue and I'd be involved w/full-time supervision. Not the case. Since controls are so easy and it's got a handle bar vs a steering wheel he controls this with ease. The neighbors jeep ride-on toys are much harder to control because of small steering wheel, poor turning radius and child is confined inside vehicle. This is so durable my wife even jumps on this thing and takes it around the cul-de-sac. My double-car garage is packed with various toys and this is by far the favorite. Bikes, pedal tractors, trikes all take back burner to this. I would shop no further and buy this Kawasaki at any price. ... Read more

So much Fun
We have this car for my Grandson who is 1 yr old. He has so much fun with it, we have a hard time getting him to get off. He learned how to make it move very quickly. The wheels could be alittle more heavy duty for driving in the grass and on gravel.
I think the size of the car is more suited for 1 to a small 2 year old. 3 year olds would be to big to sit in the seat, unless they are unually small for their age.

son loves but read before buying
My son and I absolutely love this car.He was so excited when he first got into it (he's 1).There are only two problems with it though- there is no on/off switch, so even when he's not in it he can press the button and make it go.Well that's not good because he rolled over his feet once and the second time he was leaning against it and pressed the button and it dragged him and caused him to fall.The other thing also is that the sides aren't high enough so he sticks his feet out of the sides.Also, if your child is tall (mine is 31 inches) they may not fit comfortable in the car.

My Son Loves This Car!!
My son cruised around wal mart for about an hour in the tot rod before I actually decided to buy it for him for his birthday. He just turned 1 and absolutely loves it! I have to pry him out of it. He's the envy of all the neighborhood kids!!

Great Ride-On Toy Tractor!!!
My husband and I purchased this tractor for our 2 year old son. He loves it, it keeps him busy for hours driving it all around our house. It was very easy for him to learn how to drive it when he first got it. Now its all he wants to do is go outside to ride his tractor!

angry 3 year old
We purchase the john deer power pull for our 3 yr old son 2 months ago, and he has only been able to ride it maybe 1 month, we have already exchanged the product once and it is not running again! how disappointing for our son who loved this at first and now says "I am angry my tractor doesn't work AGAIN" when calling the company for parts it usually is an automatic 20 to 30 min. wait to talk and they wouldn't resolve an exchange so we went back to were we bought the product I do not recommend this product because all the problems (fenders, wiring harness shifter, 2 pins, weight on front, wheel, and same is happening to 2nd one) and this is all riding on an acre of level ground.

One tough little tractor
We bought this for our 30 month old daugher about a month ago at Walmart. This tractor is smaller than some of the other ride on toys and my daughter fits it really well.

Assembly was straightforward. The decals are nicely done and it's worth taking the time to get them right.

I purchased a spare battery with the tractor thinking that the batteries running down would be a problem. It turns out the spare battery is much larger than the one that comes in the tractor (12Ah vs 8Ah) and I suspect is sized for the JD Gator ride on. Fortunately, the battery compartment is designed to accomodate either battery. The battery life with the large battery is great. She rides the tractor every day all over our farm, picking up sticks from the yard, following the dog, helping her mom move gravel, picking up stones in the garden, hauling strawberries up to the house, towing picnic lunches back to the hilltop, joyriding, etc. and the battery has never run down. We do put it on the charger every night. We have never used the smaller battery so I don't know how that would do. I saw in one review that it was difficult to access the battery for charging. There is a screw to hold down the battery cover but it also has plastic catches on it. I just leave the screw out and no problems.

Traction was an issue initially. We live on 25 acres of rolling hills and much of it is meadow which is much rougher than yard. The tractor initially got stuck too easy. I added traction by pop riveting "cleats" I cut from an old mudflap onto the rear tires. It is now unstoppable. If you do something like this be aware that the increased traction adds to the risk of injury and makes it even more important that the child is properly supervised.

The trailer became difficult to unhook as the catch on the plastic pin had become deformed. I made up a proper drawpin out of an old cap screw which took care of that. We also added a bicycle safety flag so the tractor is easier to see.

Low gear is perfect for tractor work. High gear is very fast. We walk around the back every night and our daughter drives the tractor. We probably walk for a mile or two. There are a couple of big hills, some rough ground and muddy puddles to cross. The only times it now gets stuck is when she tries to head off through the hay, which is several feet tall (hence the safety flag). She likes to use high gear but it's too fast for us to easily keep up with her. The trailer is used all the time. She is always finding things to put in the trailer be it toys, wild flowers, stones from the trail, even a turtle once.

Our daughter used to ride with me all the time on the big tractors. Now she always wants to take the little tractor. I'm very impressed how well it is made and how well it has worked out. Great toy!

The fun doesnt last
I have triplet boys who just turned 3 and they EACH got one of these tractors for their bday. I also purchased 3 extra batteries. the day they got them the trailer pins broke. in less than a week 2 of them wouldnt work-the company sent me new switches and then another stopped working so I had to call for another switch-then one of the wheels on 1 stopped working so they are sending me a gear box. when calling the company hold times are long but they are willing to send me new parts-these toys are not even 3 weeks old yet and why should I need to fix them so much-try explaining this to a 3 year old who just wants to ride his tractor! I would really like to send all three back and get something that will work all the time instead of 1/2 the time but am not sure just how to go about it at this stage of the game. Unless you dont mind waiting for new parts and fixing the tractor almost all the time-keeping shopping for something else! It's too bad because they are fun for the kids and very cute too!

Much fun while it last
GOT THE TRACTOR FOR MY 21 MONTH OLD, HE LOVES IT. NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT HE IS NOT ON IT. TOOK AN HOUR TO PUT TOGETHER. AFTER ONE MONTH THE REVERSE DOES NOT WORK, THE TRAILER PIN IS WORN SO THE TRAILER FALLS OFF AND THE TRAILER LATCH IN THE BACK DOESN'T STAY CLOSED. BOTHERS ME BECAUSE OF COST BUT DOESN'T BOTHER THE LITTLE ONE. TRACTION IS GOOD ON GRASS AND THE BATTERY LAST ALL DAY, THAT'S GETTING ON AND OFF. RECOMMENDED BECAUSE IT'S SO DARN CUTE TO SEE HIM ALONG SIDE HIS DAD WHILE DADDY CUTS THE GRASS WITH HIS JOHN DEERE. ... Read more

Scared away
I bought the Hummer for my daughter on her 4th birthday. It's a beauty, a very impressive toy. We looked forward to many years of use, considering my son is one and would use it later. In less than a month, and after only a few rides (my daughter only weighs 33lbs) the gearboxes failed to engage the wheels. Needless to say, I returned the toy intending to replace it. As I was loading it into my car, my neighbor told me that he just saw the same toy in a return bin with the same problem. As much as I ( oh yeah, and my daughter) wanted to have have it, we were reluctant to do so and are now looking for another reliable, proven ride-on. Too bad.

This is the best toy.
Bought this for my 3 year old boy, and even the 7 year old girl loves it!! The battery lasts a long long time, I think now for a couple of hours on the fastest setting, and it is still going strong. Takes a lot less time to charge the battery up, too. This is definately one to get, a little spendy, but better than any of the others out there. More roomy in the leg area, too. My 7 year old is tall, and she fits alright in it. And with a max weight of 130 lbs, it will even have the ability to carry some of their toys. ... Read more

Wonderful Toy*****
This was a great gift for my twins 3rd birthday. The boys have hit trees,climbed big hills and this thing is still going strong. The have named their Gator "Allie". We ride to the neighbors whose grandson also has a Gator and they all ride around our 5 acre lot. They have enjoyed this gift so much. I wished I had of gotten it sooner.

Problems with the Gator
The kids have loved the Gator. Unfortunately, six months after purchase, the reverse and first gear have completely gone out. Now, it looks like second gear is going out which will render the Gator completely immobile.

Not very long to have a new riding toy.

Think twice before purchasing
Purchased for two young grandchildren (ages 4 & 6). They loved this truck the first 3 hours it ran even though the horn did not work and many of the plastic pieces had broken off. When the motor operating the back left wheel burned out after only 5 hours of use, we returned the product.

The best thing we ever bought
We bought this 2 years ago and our son, then 3 was very excited. He learned to steer and back up, just like a real car.

He's now 5 and still has hours of enjoyment. It was a great investment.

VERY DISAPOINTED!!!
Our 3 year old daughter has had her Gator for 2 months and has given it moderate use. The gears have given out already! For the money this is a rip off. ... Read more

Great buy
Great bike. Runs great on grass. It's acutally pretty fast. My husband and I like that it STOPS when our daughter takes her foot off the gas, instead of continuing to coast.

My Child's First Car
My husband and I just got this Jeep for my daughter's second birthday. My daughter was THRILLED to say the least when she seen her "new car." She is a little above average height for her age (a little over 36 inches) and she was able to reach the pedal just fine. She has had it for 2 days now and has gotten pretty good with steering it. I highly recommend taking your child to an open field where they can practice without mowing down pedestrians. :) I gave this Jeep 3 stars for durability because we have only had it for two days and that is not an adaquite amount of time to fully judge it's durablity. However, my daughter id ride it around are small kitchen and hit the stove, chairs, and wall a few times and the Jeep was fine. This Jeep goes over grass, gravel, concrete, and just about anything! We were wuite surprised because we thought she would be getting stuck a lot and we'd have to do a lot of pushing. We had Toys R Us put together the Jeep because though my husband is quite the handyman, he just didn't have hours to put aside to asemble the Jeep. Toys R Us forgot to give us the instruction sheets so when we brought it home, we just winged it. It is very simple to operate, there's one pedal on the right that the child pushes to make the Jeep go forward. By pressing a botton near the cup holder by the floor, the child can make it go in reverse. We haven't showed her how to go in reverse yet because we want her to be able to feel comfortable going forward first. Without having an instruction sheet, we had no idea how long to charge the battery. We ended charging it for about eight hours. We intent on calling Toys R Us to get all the instruction sheets that come with the Jeep that we never recieved. Well I guess we didn't charge the battery long enough because it died about 2 hours later. Our daughter was so upset, she thought she had broken her "new car." So, my husband actually had to push her home in the Jeep-and the Jeep is not light. We fully intend on buying an extra battery and charger so that never happens. I highly recommend it for all of you who want to buy this Jeep for your child. I thought it to be educational because it teaches my daughter forward, backwards, left, and right and improves her motor skills. And fun? This toy is a definite 5 STARS! We could not keep her off of the Jeep. She was the envy of all the kids in the park. This Jeep is a definite MUST HAVE!

My little sister
My little sister owns this toy and I find that it is a very good toy for thge little kids it's just that they need to take time and learn how to steer it. I'm glad that it was recalled and all the problems have been fixed with ther fires, ect. Luckily, I have decided to use this product for my school paper and so far I'm doing pretty great on it because it's such a great toy for the young ones! My little sister loves it and comes home from daycare and jumps right in it. Thanks!

Good Buy for little ones
We bought this for our two year olds birthday, and it will go through anything. It rides on grass, over roots, on cement, whatever. Our little girl was a little intimidated by the size at first, but now she just gets in and goes.

Pleased mom
My daughter got this as a gift from her dad and myself for her 2nd birthday. She has no idea how to steer it and it constantly running into things - but boy does she love to drive it! She particularly enjoys yelling to the neighbours - hey, this is my car!!! It is very cute and I am sure she will learn to steer it soon. ... Read more
