For TODDLERS only!
I ordered this for my 8 year old grandson to use with a razor scooter. I totally relied on the information provided on the website recommending it for ages 6 - 12 yrs. My grandson is thin and average build, so I was sure it would fit. He could not even get the pads on! It would probably fit a normal size two year old.

TOO SMALL!!!
I was really excited to give this to my son for his third birthday with his first bike. Unfortunately, it was too small for his head. He is a little big for his age, but his head is not oversized. No way is this for "ages 4 and up."

Disappointed
I also purchased this item believing it was for children ages 4 and up, as clearly stated in the description. It is NOT!! It is clearly a Toddler's helmet and pad set, when you receive it is written on the box Toddler. The helmet and pads are small, obviously for a toddler. I also had to return it, and as a matter of fact, am still waiting to be credited for it. Amazon should change the description of this item to state Toddler, so it won't be so misleading. This might be fine for a toddler, but do NOT purchase this if the child is older than about 3!!

won't hold it's "size"
The helmet looks good and my son is very sad that we have to return it. When trying it on, the velcro which is supposed to hold the 'sizing' padding in place detached from the helmet, causing the helmet to be too loose. I'm glad it happened so soon if it's going to happen at all!

Misleading description
This item is listed as a boys helmet (ages 4 and up). However, it is called a toddlers helmet on the box. Very misleading so I had to return it. ... Read more

Younger toddlers may not be able to handle big ride-ons, but this one was made with very short legs in mind. The scooter-shaped rider (raised handle bars, wide seat, and storage below for Teddy) is only 9 inches high; just right for tikes who can't ride trikes. Large, wide plastic wheels support the lightweight frame, which makes it a good support for wobbly walkers and pushers, or those less than 3 years of age. The cool factor: the handlebar-dashboard has a lever for blinking signal lights, a faint horn, and an ignition button that makes realistic "motor" sounds. Parental assembly, and 3 AAA batteries, required. Diane Beall ... Read more

Sending this back to Hasbro
I bought this toy for my 2 year old son's birthday. He has been riding his sister's Disney princess scooter, but I didn't buy him that type of scooter because I thought the Ride2Roll would be more age appropriate. Very disappointing. At two years old, he is already too big to ride this in car mode. The base of the scooter is not long enough for his foot to get on, and the wheels are totally useless. They stick to the axle, and slide around, instead of rolling. I wrote a complaint letter to Hasbro (Playskool's parent company) and they sent me a postage-paid label for me to send the toy back to them. It's in the mail...

without a box it couldn't be returned
My 20 month old daughter recieved this scooter for Easter from her grandparents. They were being helpful by putting it together at home before giving it to her. When she sat down she became very frustrated by the fact she wasn't going anywhere. She had the right idea, but the wheels don't move easily. The scooter part was evan worse. She pushed her heart out to barley move. It was a great idea, but not made very well. Since we didn't have the box we are stuck with toy. Her 4 year old sister didn't have any better luck. Don't buy this toy, it's a waste of money.

great toy for pre-schoolers
I recently bought this for my 20 month old granddaughter....I showed her how to use it as a scooter...and she picked it up the first time she used it. She liked having me change it from the riding toy to the scooter and loved the "horn, turn signal, vroom vroom" noise maker! I'm buying another one for my other granddaughter!

Son loves it, but wheels are horrible...
My son just received this scooter for his second birthday and he loves the sounds and playing on it. Unfortunately the wheels are a very slick plastic and do not work at all indoors. They slide across carpet and the hard wood floor without turning. I would imagine it would work fine in the driveway, but I do not know how long these cheap wheels will last on concrete. We've had it a day, and are seriously thinking about taking it back to Toys R Us.

Wheels are tough to get on....but do work
Just received this item as a gift. I will say that I would have not purchased it for my son, considering the bad rap that scooters have with young children. However, my son (who's one year old) really digs the electronic noises and loves to hold the handles to 'ride'. It is really low to the ground and can accomodate a young child easily. Although the wheels appear at first to not move well at all, closer inspection revealed that I had to place them on with a firm push to really click them into place and now it wheels fine - not too fast, not too slow. Set up is relatively easy, but bothersome with all the screws. Thus far, I am pleased with the item, and feel that the plastic is not flimsy in any way. It appears to be a well-constructed item. ...

Super durable, great toy!
My little guy just loves and I mean LOVES his froggie sandbox! I left it out all winter and it doesn't look any worse for the wear. It's just so much fun for him and especially since he loves frogs, he talks to him whenever he's playing in the sandbox and makes up tons of froggie stories. Plus, it looks really cute in the yard and doesn't detract as much as some other items will. The only problem with it is that if there's a huge wind storm, the lid blows off quite easily. Can't tell you how many times I've run down the yard chasing "Froggie's head." Besides that, this is just a fantastic toy and so very durable. I just love Step 2's products.

LOADS of fun!
I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old...She loves her turtle! I have a long country porch and I decided to put it at the end of it so when it rains she still can play with it. I bought 5 bags of play sand and only needed 3. I did not fill it to the edge so that the sand toys and the sand would stay in the box. Also a benefit of keeping it on the porch was if any sand spills out I can sweep it up and put it back in the box. If I was to use it on the ground, I would probably put a small tarp under it for the same reason. All in all a very fun sand box for everyone!

Great toy!
I bought this for my 22 month old daughter. She loves to play in it and uses the frogs back legs for a seat. It is durable and seems like it will hold up for years to come.

Great Toy Great Buy
I Bought this item for my son when he was 8/12 months old to use as a kiddie pool then we used it as a storage bin for his outdoor toys and now this year he is going to be two this month and we have made it into a sand box. This Is Very Durable As I Left It Out All Winnter Long And It Was Not Affected One Bit. Great long lasting toy that I can see us using for many more years great price for all the uses that it has. ... Read more

great fun
This is a great thing to buy for boys. You have no idea how creative my son got when he found out he could be a farmer in town. But there is a few things you might like to know...My son played very hard with this toy and the wheels needed to be replaced long before they should have. I have no problem updating things but replacement parts are costly.

Wonderful Gift with Mommy Annoyances
My 3 year old son recieved this tractor from Santa and my DS loves the tractor. Truly, I'd recommend this product for any 3-6 year old child.

I'm annoyed however for a couple of reasons, primarily as a result of the products quality and details. For instance, the decorative stickers have absolutely lost and/or never had any adhesiveness. The tractor has been out of the box 5 days now and the stickers don't stick. Basically, remember to bring on the super glue as you put this product together.

Another annoyance is the gas cap. The tractor is molded and cut for the gas cap to fit tight;however, the gas cap keeps popping off and is now broken. A 4" diameter hole sits in the side of this tractor just waiting for tiny toys to be dropped in and fished out.

This is not a complaint just something to keep in mind if you purchase this product. Putting the tractor together takes about 20 minutes. You need a block of wood and hammer to pound the wheels in place. DH and I didn't consider that fact when Santa called and we made quite a bit of noise.

We also purchased a trailer for the tractor and found the trailer literally within seconds of performing an Internet search. Attaching the trailer hitch required a 1/2" spade bit and a screw driver so tack on 10 or so additional minutes to put the trailer together.

Overall the product appears safe and stable. We've scrutinized the product and are satisfied outside the stickers and the gas cap.

Little boys love this one
Our almost 3yr old boy is obsessed with this tractor. It is his favorite ride on toy of the many that he has, including the battery powered car. This is his top choice hands down. We like it too because it seems sturdier than some other ride ons. I would not recommend it for much under 3 yrs or 3 ft tall, because you have to be fairly tall to pedal it. He got it when he was just barely 2 and has only recently grown into it. Buy the trailer that comes with it if you can because they love that too (good luck finding one).

Problems Finding Accessories
First and foremost, it makes no sense to me that you must purchase a trailer for this tractor online when the tractor is readily available in stores nationwide. I believe the stores should at least be able to order the item. When you do go online to find the trailer - good luck! I spent 20 minutes searching this field and that page. Needless to say I never found what I needed.
I called the local store for assistance only to find out that they new less than the people who set up the websight and those that made the decision to make the trailer available solely online.
With all this said, my son loves the tractor. I just hope he can adjust to life without hauling hay.

Fun and Safe
This tractor is great for anyone between the ages of 3 (if they are tall enough) to 6. Big and sturdy - noticable to passing cars. Does not tip over very easily. Easy to assemble.
A nice solid toy for your little rough tough child. ... Read more

Not for country roads, but great for city area!
I bought this for my daughter and she absolutly loves it. It's great when she is on the concrete, but once she goes "off road" it doesn't work so well. She gets stuck on small rocks going up our drivway and it's really slow on the grass. It doesn't manuver well up small hills so we have to push her. I would definately recommend this toy to someone who lives in a city area with sidewalks and cement roads, but if you live in the country with lots of pastures and dirt roads I would tell you to look for something else. Age wise, my daughter is 3 and it only took her about a week to learn how to steer. She can reach the pedal easily and she's already figured out how to turn it on, reverse and go forward. ...

Happy Little Rider
My parents bought this item for my son for his 1st birthday. Even though he was unable to get on it at that time He enjoyed seeing the confetti flying around in the bubble. He is now 16mths old and loves getting on and off by himself and riding it all around the house. I have yet to take him outside with it but I am sure he will be fine and enjoy every minute of this little tikes rider. I love seeing my child's face light up with a great big smile everytime he is on it. I highly recommend it.

Disapointed with Little Tikes
My 11 month old received this as a christmas present. He loved the flying confetti in the front but wasn't quite tall enough to ride it yet. (he is 95% in height for his age) My 4 year old (under 50 lbs) was riding it and put his weight on the front handle bars and one of them broke in half. I was very disapointed because Little Tikes has always had durable toys. Needless to say, my 11 month old never even got to ride this toy.

A little unsafe.
My daughter was on her Go and Grow Rider when the two front wheels locked up and she went face first on to the ground. I do not know why the wheels locked up, but my little girl has not been on it since.

Watch out there they go
I purchased this rider for my nephew for Christmas 2003, at which time he was 18 months old. I recently visited him and at 20 months he knows how to turn on the little glitter dome by himself which makes his eyes sparkle. I really like that he can enjoy riding this in the privacy of his home. I observed kids around his age when I was thinking of purchasing his first ride on toy. I was originally thinking of buying him a tricycle. It seems at this age they are not coordinated enough to ride a toy with pedals. I am pleased with my purchase and look forward to him enjoying it for many days to come. ... Read more

Editorial Review

When learning how to ride a bike, toddlers often take a lot of falls. This bicycle safety kit for toddler boys includes a cool and highly visible red, white, and blue helmet with patriotic stars and stripes and bright blue-and-red knee and elbow pads that most little boys will be happy to wear before heading off on their bikes. Parents will feel comfortable knowing that the helmet is lined with expanded polystyrene foam that provides the maximum impact absorption if kids have a fall. The liner is protected by a durable hard plastic outer shell in an aerodynamic design. The helmet also has a built-in sun visor, air circulation vents to prevent overheating, and customizable pads for creating a snug fit so the helmet grows with your child. The knee and elbow pads are made of soft, comfortable nylon and have tough-looking, plastic "armor" on the exterior. Pads secure in back of knees or elbows with two Velcro tabs. The bicycle helmet complies with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s standards and has extended head coverage specifically for bicyclists in this age group. --Cristina Vaamonde ...

Nice to have
The trailer seems pretty durable much like the wagon it goes with. Assembly was pretty easy but you definately need a hammer to help wack things in place. It's large enough for my 3 year old to ride in comfortably. I don't know that I would put a baby carrier in it although I didn't try. The one thing I don't particularly like is that it seems to take a lot of muscle to get it on and off. Although over time, I believe it will get easier as it wears down. I've had to sit on it, kick it, push, shove and wack to get the trailer on and off the hitch. Even though it's difficult to get on and off, it won't keep me from using it.

good idea but.......
good idea that you can pull extra stuff(especially for the people who love swap meets like me) so you children dont have to be squashed with stuff. but it is too much money it should be like $20 or less.

good addition to the wagon
i loved my step two wagon set the only problem i had was that i had no where to put the diaper bag and all the other stuff children require except on there feed and that is why this trailor works perfect for me i can haul diaperbags small coolers and a toy or two in it or haul an extra child .

TAG ALONG TRAILER IS NOT MADE FOR THE PEDAL FARM TRACTOR.
WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR TOYS FOR MY 4 YEAR OLD SON, I SAW THE PEDAL FARM TRACTOR. ON THE SAME PAGE AS THE PEDAL FARM TRACTOR, WAS A PICTURE OF THE TAG-ALONG-TRAILER PLUS. SINCE IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THESE TWO TOYS GO TOGETHER, I PURCHASED BOTH. HOWEVER, UPON ASSEMBLING THE TRAILER, IT TURNS OUT THAT THE TRAILER DOES NOT GO WITH THE FARM TRACTOR. BASED UPON A STEP 2 BROCHURE, THERE IS ANOTHER TRAILER THAT GOES WITH THE TRACTOR.

Our girls love their wagon and trailer....
We have been very pleased with the Tag Along Trailer and Two Seat Wagon by Step 2. We have twin toddlers and a preschooler, and it allows us to go on outings easier. The girls have the freedom to get in and out to look at things they like, and when they get tired, we can pull them all home. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Perfect as baby’s first ride-on toy, this plush spotted puppy has soft fur and a smooth plastic base and handles, leaving no parts that an unsteady toddler can get hurt on. The dalmatian sits on a rocker for in-place riding and also has wheels that flip down for riders who have a bigger agenda. For additional delight, this doggie has a bell around her neck that jingles when she moves, and she plays one of five children’s songs whenever her left ear is squeezed. The electronic sound runs on two AA batteries, which are safely hidden in a zippered compartment in the dalmatian’s belly. This toy comes unassembled but is easy to put together using the included instructions. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

This is a great ride on toy!
This toy is wonderful! I don't have anything bad to say about it except that we have noticed after an evening of playing with it that it is starting to ride crooked. It no longer rides in a straight line. My daughter is 11 months and she absolutely loves it. Evertime the music plays she starts rocking and making the dalmation rock. I love the fact that you can put the wheels up for rocking play and bring them down for rolling play. My husband and I take turns pushing her back and forth. She has learned in 1 short afternoon how to get on and off of her favorite toy. She loves it! Wonderful sturdy, soft toy! I would recommend this to everyone! ... Read more
