GREAT INSIDE OR OUTSIDE TOY
I bought this toy for my 3 year old and she loves it. We have been using it for over 2 months now and so far have not had to make any repairs. When we use this outside we do set it up on a piece of carpet to help protect the bottom. We also fill it up with all our "ball pit balls" when we bring it inside. My little girl has a blast bouncing and jumping in it with all those balls. The only thing I would tell parents to watch out for is that the sides are not as tall as they look in the picture. It is very easy for toddlers to fall/roll out of this. I have also had the problem of her wanting to sit on the edge - like she can with her inflatable swimming pool. Only since this is not weighted down it is easy to tip over. I would only use this on carpet or in the yard and only with parental supervision - but her and her friends to have a great time in this and it was well worth the money.

not as bouncy as it appears
We thought this would be a great alternative to getting an outdoor trampoline, since it would be safer. And we thought our kids would love it since they often want to jump on the bed. But this product is not as bouncy as it appears. My kids mainly arranged their stuffed animals in it and laid in it with them. After a few weeks it began to deflate. We patched it at the seam, but it still gradually loses air. It's been a disappointment and has been discarded.

Kids loved it!!!
My kids received this as a gift when they were 4 & 2. They absolutly loved it. We set it up in the living room for a while and they jumped in it for a week. WE had 4 kids at a time bouncing around in it. When the weather was warmer we used it outside. We kept it upside down when not using it, so it wouldn't collect water. after 1yr the bottom chamber had a leak, kids still jumped in it, we also put it in the pool and used it at as a big float. All the kids loved it but after 2.5 years it was completely worn out. will probably get a new one.

Fun but didn't last
My 2 year old loved this toy for the two months that it lasted. After limited indoor only use it started coming apart at the seams. Two 1/2 inch holes appeared in the floor seam and no amount or type of patching has improved the situation.

Great while it lasted, WATER problems if outside
We bought this for our 2 sons, ages 2 and 4, and it was a huge hit with all of us at first! It's pretty durable and keeps the kids safe, supervised, of course! But it's not easy to inflate or deflate, so we left it outside for a while, and after it rained a couple of times the bottom filled with water, and there is absolutely NO way to get it out! We thought there should be a plug for this reason, and with the water in there the unit expanded, pushing the floor up far enough that we couldn't let the kids use it safely. We used it until we had to get rid of it by cutting it up. I guess if you're going to use it indoors, or take it down EVERY time you use it outdoors, it's a great investment, the price is great for what you get! But if you leave it outside don't plan on using it for very long. ... Read more

Grandmother's perfect present
My granddaughter, 22 months, loves to crawl into small spaces such as cupboards, under chairs etc. Sometimes she is hard to find. With this perfect option she loves the crawling in the tunnel and making her own house in the tent. My daughter is expecting multiples (don't know yet how many) and she needs to have her daughter occupied in a safe place. Another great thing is how portable as when they come visiting they can bring her house with her. I read the one commentary about the 100 balls, gads! We'll try that if this doesn't work as she gets older.

One and a half years and still going strong
Santa brought this tent and tunnel for my son in 2003, and it was an immediate hit. He is now 3 years old, and still enjoys playing with it.

Last week, he took it to a fun day at school, where three classes of active kids gave it a try out. It stood up admirably, and went back into its storage bag proud and intact. It took a huge amount of abuse and shrugged it off. I was deeply impressed, because I never expected it to last this long. Several teachers and parents asked me where I got it from, so I guess they were also impressed.

It stores easily in the handy bag, and the tunnel when strapped up takes up little space. It's light, portable, affordable and fun.

One of the best toys I have ever purchased on Santa's behalf.

fun tent
I bought this tent for my son when he was about 1 1/2 years old. He is now almost 3 and still has a blast in it. We bought a 100 balls to go in it and he loves to throw them down the tunnel. It takes minutes to set up and the rods are pretty strong. My son can even put the rods together without hurting them or himself. It has a bigger opening so a parent can get in it too (although it is a tight fit.) I have a 5 month old that loves to watch his brother pop in and out of it. I would imagine the real test of strength will come when both boys are playing in it, but I have no doubt that it will hold up. I would definitely recommend this to other parents. We are happy with it.

Alot of fun for a bargain price!
This little tent is great for young kids. My son loves to crawl thru the tunnel then stand in the tent and look ouy the screen at the top of the tent. It semms to be made well (for inside the house). I don't think you can find a better tent with a tunnel for the price than this one!

i enjoy this toy
my son feels like he has his own little house, its really cool for a play room and also outdoors. delivery was also very quick, i got it in a week! ... 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

You won't regret this purchase!
We got this as an accessory to a Naturally Playful structure we purchased for the boys during Christmas '03. My two boys, (then 1 and 3) have enjoyed it for nearly a year now along with their friends. I expect it will continue to be a well-used and loved item over the next few years. It's lots of fun for one little person to sit in the middle ALONE and play HORSEY with it on their own, or even in between two friends who are teeter-tottering (as the photo shows). Well made, simple design, excellent price. You can't go wrong with this!

Great Outside Toy!!!
We just bought this for my daughter, who is 3 1/2, and in need of some new outside toys, because she is an only child, it is sometimes hard to buy the ones she wants. After reading all the reviews online, I knew this was the one. She can do it by herself of with friends, last night there were 3 other little girls over (ages 20 months, 2 years, 3 1/2 years and 5 years) All four actually loved it, the two smaller ones and the two older ones! GREAT TOY! I would buy agian!

A good, solid toy
We received this free when we bought the playland climber, but I'd definitely spend the money on it if we had to. My daughter's loved it from the moment I pulled it from the box. She loves to sit in the center and rock herself. You can also have the child sit on one end and push the other easily. I also like the fact that no matter how hard she rocks, she hasn't tipped it over yet. A good solid toy, no matter how many kids you have.

Fun Right Out Of The Box!
Fun right out of the box! We bought this teeter totter for my son's second birthday. All we had to do was pop on the handles and it was ready to go. ( Nice feature when a kids are waiting to try it out.) My son (2yrs) and my daughter (6 yrs) immediately hopped on and were teeter tottering in no time. There was no fighting over who would try it first since it can accomodate up to three children (up to 40 lbs. ea.) If one of them did want to rock alone, they could by using the center seat. I did have to remind my daughter not to rock too fast or get off suddenly or her brother would go flying. But that's just a general rule for a teeter totter. I love the fact that it is done in earth tones and made to look like stone and wood. It's a nice addition to the backyard. I feel it was money well spent.

CUTE CUTE CUTE
We bought our son the entire naturally playful collection for his 2nd birthday and this is the first thing we opened. He had never seen a teeter totter before but that didn't stop him. I didn't even get it all of the way out of the box before he was trying to get on it!!!. I love that it can hold 1, 2, or 3 kids and can still be played with. he loves it. He loves the whole collection as do we. I would recommend this for anyone with an active toddler like ours. ... Read more

Log Cabin Playhouse
This is a great toy to keep kids occupied. My two year old daughter loves it. She especially likes the shutters that open and shut and the fold up table inside where she insists on eating all her snacks at. The house is rather large so it is best suited for outdoor play but even the bigger kids can use it for the same reason. This house is very durable and well designed for little kids but then again Little Tikes is well known for its durable products. I would say that it is a good investment that will last for a really long time.

GrandParent Best Gift Ever
This has been the best gift ever. It did not take my son-in-law any time to put together. My grandson who is 2 1/2 years old LOVES it.
Thank you for a great product Little Tykes!
Shipping cost is a bit high (...). That was a big draw back for me.

Wowzer..
We bought this for our almost 2 yr old for Christmas and he loves it. We set it up in his playroom during the winter time so he could enjoy playing with it, but are planning to move it outdoors soon.

little tikes house SOLD!!
I bought this for my home daycare, two year old daughter and my four year old son I was looking for a playhouse that was non-gender specific so my son would enjoy playing in it too! Boy did I score with this purchase!!All of the kids really enjoy playing in this they especially love to ride their cozy coupe up to the window and pretend they are pulling up to mcdonalds drive thru we really love this and it seemed pretty easy to assemble I needed my husbands help but we did it in about 40 minutes...we were as excited to start playing as the kids I am very glad we bought this and if your in the market for a new home this is a great find for a boy or a girl

a little house for my 2 yr old twins
My boy / girl twins really like their new log cabin. The assembly of this log cabin wasn't that bad. My hubby and I put it together in 45 minutes and then it had to be wiped down because of a lot of loose plastic pieces and dust.

My kids will definitely get a couple of years out of this one. Currently we have it set up in our dining room (kids play room). Once it gets warm in the spring / summer, we will put it in the backyard. My twins love going in and out of the door, while the other one usually opens and closes the shutters on the window.

This is a nice log cabin and is worth it. Hope this helps. ... 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

Peg Perego Is the Only Brand Of Ride-On You Should Buy
My son now has the Gator and the Gaucho. He has had the Gator for 3 years. You will have to replace the tires, buy a new batery, have at least tow so you can swap out. If you can afford it, buy it. If not, don't waste your money on Power Wheels. You will just be frustrated when the power wheels start to fall apart, then your kid will be the one fighting to ride the Gator or Gaucho.

Most excited I've ever seen him!
This Christmas I ordered the Gaucho Silver Edition for my three-year-old grandson. We already have the John Deere Gator. To say they have fixed the traction problem is the least of what I can report. This is a great toy. My grandson wanted to sleep on his the first night. This Jeep really has all the extras, to me it is well worth the extra money, from the seat belts to the seat covers, as well as the trailer hitch. It goes with ease where the Gator couldn't go. No traction problems! I am very glad to report their customer service dept. is excellent. If you have a problem just call the 800 number and it is taken care of in a hurry. Our little boy learned to drive on these vehicles, he does a great job handling them. These 12 volt vehicles are the only way to go for reliability,durability and now looks. ... Read more

misunderstood toy; great when you follow the directions
It is funny to see one parent saying that her 1 year old's feet can't touch the "petals" (smirk) when the intended age is 18 months and up. Another funny thing is to see how many parents say the "parental" handle doesn't lock in place--I got news for you it does!! All you have to do is put the yellow pin which locks the handle in place in "rocker" mode behind the handle when it is in "parent" mode. Our two year old loves this and enjoys rocking, riding, and pushing the parent handle. He hasn't quite caught on using the pedals because his feet get in the way but hey, that's what two year olds do. :) I see this as a long term learning toy to help our son transition to a bike later on. It was a very smart purchase. Lots of stores have them to try out--go decide for yourself.

great toy
i just bought this for my 2 year old daughter and she loves it. wherever we go this toy has to come. It has a place for little ones who are not quite big enough to ride on there own to put there feet up while mommy pushes them around, and while we are at home she loves the rocker. This is a great toy.

Great for Grandma's House as they will get years of use
We have three of these as each of my boys received one for their first birthday and I think they are great. The only problem is I wish they were all at the same house - two are by their Grandparents 3000 miles away while my three fight over the one we have at home. Makes we want to go buy one or two more. My six year old still loves to ride it even though he has moved onto a big boy bike because he can really zoom around the corners without getting nervous. The little foot rest doesn't do much but not a huge problem. Found that it worked best in the rocking mode when off the carpet. The handle is great as not only am I able to push them but they push each other. It really manuvers well. My almost 2 year old tries to pedal it but is not quite big enough so he just zooms around with foot power. All in all a great toy that after 5 years of constant use shows no signs of "decay" - how many toys can you say that about?

Fun fo Less the Price
I wanted to buy my daugther a more expensive Trike, but my husband I could not see paying over 80 dollars for a Trike she would outgrow. So we bought this trike and boy I'm glad we did. Our daughter likes the fact there is a foot rest since she is too young to petal and we love the stearing rod even though it is some times tough to use....but I'm still getting use to it. We also like the fact if we have another child it can turn into a rocker. Plus it is very durable. We have rolled it in grass, concrete, sand, etc... and the wheels are in like new condition along with all the other parts. Very Happy with this product!

WONDERFUL FIRST TRIKE!!!
We never used this as a rocker, my son, now almost 2 got this last Xmas, and LOVES it! Only downfall, my son zooms around the carport on it, and it tips frequently, so just be close to catch if it falls~ A great first trike~ ... Read more

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 pink and purple Push Around Buggy is a winner. The extra-long handle is removable and can be stored underneath the buggy. --N. Mered ... Read more

Great little buggy!
this car is the best purchase I have bought for my daughter as of yet! She absolutely loves to sit in and "drive". I bought it for her when she was able to sit up sturdily at 6 months. Its a good thing to have when you just want to take them for a quick walk to the park, it even has storage under the hood! as for the road noise, i havent even noticed it, once i did its not much louder than the typical big wheel we all had as kids.
this is a bargain for the price.....she loves it, thats all that matters, it makes her smile and giggle and thats all mommy needs!

Wonderful toy!
My daughter is 9 months old now, I bought her this when she was sitting up sturdily and she absolutely loves this car! She loves to take her walk in her car so she can drive :) And she looks so cute in it too! The only problem is rounding corners you have to pick up the front a bit to turn sometimes but all in all its a great purchase.. I even use it to put her in while Im preparing dinner so she can go for a drive while Im busy! It works and she loves it!

Loving it!!!
I have 2 daughters one is 2 and the other is 8 months. My 8 month old absolutley loves this car. Both of my girls liked going for walks with it. We bought it for my older daughter after she was 1, which may have been a little late for her to get to really enjoy it, but we started to put our little one in it as soon as she could sit up & she loves it ever time she is in it. We enjoyed it so much we purchased it as a gift for our friends and they love it to. We take it everywhere even camping. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!

Great little Buggy! Awesome Mother's helper!!
I bought this car for my daughter when she was 8 months old and she loves it. It is great when I walk to the bus stop with my kids and they like to push her in it as well. The front hood opens for storage which is great for carrying along bottles, diapers, toys & any other gear you may need. It has even encouraged me to get out and walk more too. I would highly recommend this toy to any parent of an infant or toddler.

Buggy is just the right speed!
We bought this for our 18 month old at Christmas. Now that spring is here we really get alot of use out of it. I feel the seat belt is a great featue, and the foot rest area makes it easy to push her around without worrying about her feet dragging. It's the perfect size, and we can keep up with her big sister on her bike! I like this better than the cars the kids push themselves, and it is great before they can petal a bike. Excellent for 1 and 2 year olds. We are buying one for our neice soon! ... 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

Lots of laughs
We bought this swing a couple of weeks ago and our 10 month old daughter loves it. She shreks in delight the whole time. My biggest complaint is that when it was manufactured they didn't make sure that the ropes were even. Before I could hang it up I had to feed the rope through from the long side to the short side to even it up (someone's review states that they couldn't use the swing because of this -not true- the manual tells you how to fix this.) We have also joked that putting a tray on a swing is useless. You can't put snacks on it when they swing both because they will fall off and, more importantly, the risk of choking. Hopefully any parent with common sense would be smart enough not to try this. I also don't see that any kid would sit still enough in it when it isn't swinging to be able to eat anyway. I would definitely recommend this swing. Ours is still in the infant recline position and once our daughter is bigger and more stable we will be able to use it in the upright position.

Stinks
The swing stinks.There are plenty of swings out there more durable and more trustworthy than this swing will ever be. Even though the other swings cost more it is much safer to buy them.Come on plastic,are u kidding me?

This is a great swing!
We love this swing! So does 6 month old Jake! He sits in it and just swings away! When his average size 3 year old cousin came over, she decided she wanted to swing, so her older cousins helped her in it and pushed her back and forth and she loved it! The swing has held up very well! The only thing that is kind of difficult about this is getting the yellow part off to get an older and bigger child out. This is probably a good thing, though, so that a child cannot fall out. We have it attached to our back porch. Swinging in this has provided lots of smiles from our little boy!

t-bar swings are better
I had bought this swing and returned it the next day. Everyone on the block has the old model of the swing with the t-bar, and that is what I wanted. I put my son who was 7 months old in it, buckled him up, and I felt like he was going to fall out or end up dangling somehow. He had figured out how to get the stationary swing to move when it wasn't on, by moving himself forward and backward. Also fisher price thinks the snack tray is a benefit, but it really isn't. You are supposed to feed your child while they are sitting still. What if the baby chokes while they are swinging and eating? I think the directions even say not to leave your child unattended and to only have food when the swing is still.

Very Concerned Parent
My husband and I purchased this swing for our 14 month old daughter. At first we liked it, but yesterday we changed our minds. Our daughter can unbuckle the belt. We are very concerned about this. If she can do it what is stopping an older child from doing this and getting hurt. Thank God my husband was standing there or she may have fallen out. I called the company and they said they would refund our money after they got the swing. Please if you own this swing, don't leave your child alone. I am hoping Fisher Price will recall it and do something about this problem. We are going out this weekend and look for a new swing. Please Please watch your kids. I am hoping the company does something about this problem before someone gets hurt. Let the company know how you feel or if you have a problem of any kind let them know. I'm sure they will do all they can to help. ... Read more

Editorial Review

There's nothing like playing with a huge pile of colorful plastic balls: they're perfect for tossing, kicking, pushing around, or hiding underneath. This inflatable fire engine comes with 75 air-filled, soft flex balls. Pour them into the rectangular inflatable toy and it becomes an instant play area for kids. Made of heavy-duty vinyl, this bright red truck can be used inside or outdoors. The sides have round crawl-through holes, and the back area is open, so young firefighters can imagine standing up and hanging on while the driver uses the pretend steering wheel to speed to the rescue. Cool accessories include a red fireman's hat and a plastic yellow pump action "hose" that shoots one plastic ball at a time and can be handheld or attached to the fire engine's side. The balls arrive already inflated but the fire engine does not. A repair patch kit is also included. --Pam Lauer ... Read more

A lot of fun for my 12-month-old twins
My twins got this for their first birthday and love it! They crawl in and out of the holes and play peek-a-boo with each other. Its a great toy!

Lots of Fun - Less on Quality...
We purchased the fire truck pit for my then 11 month old son for Christmas. It took him a couple of days to adjust to it (it is quite large!) but he soon loved it! I agree with the other comment about not coming with enough balls and the few balls that it does come with easily roll out of the crawl in holes when being used. Our son (and his father) loved playing with the pump ball thrower thingy. They played with it so much that the plastic got weak and broke off at the folds after a couple of mohts. Unfortunatly now after a group playdate with a few other 13 month olds, the side of the firetruck is not holding air. We can not find the hole anywhere either. It was a lot of fun. But now a waste of money after only a few months.

Fun - but a few design flaws
First, I had to buy two hundred more balls! And, btw, you can get them cheaper at target! My 22 month son enjoys his firetruck. He loves the hose that shoots the balls. I bought it when he was 17 mos. I thought he would play with it at more at first, but he has gradually started playing with it more and more.

Cons? First, we are about to move and I DREAD blowing it up again! It's huge - I am not sure WHERE I will put it in my new house! But, really, the only problem is that the 'port holes' are too low. I wish they were higher so the balls wouldn't go all over the place when he plays in it! I would prefer a ball pit that is deeper.

made my childs first word
i love this and will be a permanet memeber to our house!. my kid said it was cubby. he just snuggled and said cubby in a cute sqeakey voice! i love this and you should buy it too. and the dobule chameber pump is a good idea unless you are a hobo without a job

WON'T STAY INFLATED FOR LONG
I didn't buy this exact product for my daughter(I bought the corn popper model, but has the same qualities). She loves to play with all the balls and crawl in and out of the tunnels, but the thing won't stay inflated and it is so hard to inflate in the first place. I have checked for leaks, but so far I haven't found one. I have to have 4 different people to help me blow it up every other week, but other than that my daughter loves to get in it and throw all the balls out and all of the other kids that come over love to play in it too. ...

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.

nice
I just bought this and it is great for both my kids. My son complains we walk too much and the double stroller is too small for his height. My only complain it is we live in apartment on the 3rd floor and the door isnt wide enough for the cruiser to go thru. So i have to take the wheels and the top apart to fit thru the door. But I i love it. it goes over bumps smoothly.

Cushion
It's a great stroller for both the bike and for just walking. It turns much easier than the double jogging stroller I bought. My only complaint is that the seats don't have any cushion to them so we have to use a pillow or blanket under the seat...easy fix. ... Read more

Fun, but bites!
My son received this trike for his 3rd birthday, last November, from his grandfather. He was thrilled to say the least. Since then there hasn't been a day he hasn't ridden on it. The fun factor is A+++. As for educational value, bikes aren't exactly educational, unless I count Joshua singing his ABC's while riding it. ;)
The problem with this bike is the seat's durability. A few months ago I noticed a hairline crack starting to form in the seat. Silly me, I should've called to get it replaced then. Joshua literally spends all day, every day, on this bike He weighs less than 30 lbs which is small for his age. So I doubt his weight is a factor in its breaking. I forgot about the crack, until the screaming started! Now he knows not to stand on the bike, he figured that out after falling one too many times. So I don't know how it happened, but his toe was stuck in the, now, big crack in the seat. He was yelling "mommy, bike bite me, bike bite!" Trying not to laugh at moments like these, especially with your child is in pain, is a very hard thing not to do. I got his toe out pretty easily, but he was not happy. He spent all afternoon saying "Bad bike, bad bike!"
I have been meaning to replace the seat or entire bike for awhile now. Today I went to Fisher Price's website to see if there was a way to replace just the seat. There is, but with shipping it's [price]! The bike sells for new for only a few more dollars than that. Instead, I spent the afternoon trying to get through to Fisher Price/Mattel's customer service line. When I finally got through to a real life person (After 3 hang-ups telling me to call back later or use their online site for help!) he was wonderful. They will be sending out a new seat, free of charge, in 7 to 10 days. So if I had to review their customer service, aside from the hang-up issues, they'd get an A.
Overall I think this is a great toy but I will still worry about the new seat breaking over time too. Hopefully Joshua will outgrow it before then. If you have a toddler who is rough on his toys maybe a different bike is a better idea. Fun wise, it's a terrific toy. ... Read more

my boys love this!
I have a 2 and 3.5 year old and they both love this toy- I'm ordering another one because they fight over it. We put it in the sandbox and it's easy for them to control and they have literally spent hours playing with it. ... Read more
