Go-Kart vs. Little 4 wheeler
I agree with the button being too hard to push (and keep pushing) and my son has had several experiences with accidentally pushing the button while trying to get in and out of the vehicle. My son also has the small four wheeler for 12-36 months and he enjoys it much more than the go-kart. The button is much easier to push and he can steer it better. He prefers the 4 wheeler and they are the same price (the 4 wheeler is actually a little cheaper I think)...GO FOR THE 4 WHEELER!!! I prefered the go-kart since it has the high seat back but my son has never had any problems without one on the four wheeler. Hope this helps! =o)

Absolutely adorable
This is so cute and my 21 month old loves it. I didn't buy it thru Toy's R Us because I didn't want to pay to ship it and the Toys R Us's near me only carries the boy one. I purchased it at Meijers instead for the same price. I put it together myself and it wasn't too hard. I was to anxious and didn't want to wait for my husband. My daughter took to it and soon after a few hours she was a pro. I have to stay with her because it only takes wide turns so I am constantly turning her around. There is no reverse or anything. One concern I have is that everytime she goes to climb in she presses the button that is on the steering wheel and the car starts to drive and a few times she has fallen or gotton her leg stuck. I am hoping since it is still new she will learn she cant press it but they dont quite get the concept that they have to stop pressing the button and I wish there was a removable cover over it. Other than that it is so cute and she follows my older daughter around as she drives her Barbie Jeep. This is a great item and what really mattes is how happy my daughter is.

Great outdoor fun!
I got this toy as an Easter gift for my daughter (who is now 17 months). She loved it the minute she sat in it. I read other reviews stating that the "go" button was hard for toddlers to push, but my little girl has no trouble. The only trouble I have is keeping up with her. I know it sounds crazy since it only goes 2 mph, but I have to help her steer. Thank goodness this is not an insight on her future driving skills! By the way, assembly for this is very easy. I did it without the help of my mechanically inclined husband in LESS than 30 minutes.

amazing
It was pretty expensive and we went over our monthly budget but when I see my daughter driving it and seeing her face smile I just love it so much! she's 18 months right now and it amazes me that she was able to drive it around, push the button even. I didnt know it goes with a girlie color, I was given the orange one but I don't mind as long as she's happy when she drives it. I can't wait to have her drive it in the park.

Love this toy!!!
We purchased this toy for our daughter who is paralyzed from the chest down. It's perfect for her to get around the back yard in. With the "gas" on the steering wheel, she can run around just like her brother's and sister's can!!!!!
The push button is easy to use. It doesn't go too fast or in reverse. It's very safe for her. She's just now two years old and big for her age, it fits her perfectly.
We will be very very sad when she outgrows it and we have to find another way for her to get around in the yard. ... Read more

second switch
The Bike is awsome but I don't like how sow it goes. Where do I find the second switch for the mini moto. I have looked in currie scooter parts. (superkidsonline.com) But I haven't found anything except the 12 volt battery. Thanks for making such a cool toy for us.

mini moto tips on making it faster
the honda mini moto bike is one of the best toy i ever had write now iam waiting on a 12v motor from superkidsonline on my bike second switch button and looking online for something to make it go faster and all that adds up to about 20 mph (...)

WoW, I Cant believe it
I see people riding on things like this and didn't know about till i saw it, I first saw it at toysrus it says it can go ''15''
mph, it went really slow compared to what i expected, so i returuned it and went to walmart and got a razor pr200 w/e and it turned out to go much faster. I couldn't believe the difference. I don't suggest you get the honda moto. I am 14 years old and find it normal for my age even though people are saying its only good for four year olds. so no matter how old you are GET IT!!!!!!

i found an an upgraded engine
okay here is how you get the upgraded engine you got to this web site www.superkidsonline.com then go to CURRIE ELECTRIC SCOOTER PARTS and look for 12volt engines

"speed reveiw"
The good thing about this toy is that it is made by honda motor company,one of the most popular sport bike company's of 2004.honda is also a good car company.But enough about honda.This toy is realy quiet becuase it's electric(that's good for mom and dad).and it get's to it's top speed fast,my best freind has the electric razor pr 2000 mini pocket bike and I awlways beat him except for once and that's only becuas'e my battery went dead.The only bad thing about theese is the battrey burn's out realy quickley, so the people at toysrus need to work on that. I also like how low they are to the ground for increased aerodynamics and less wind resistance and they look exactley like real sport bikes(almost like replicas of the real thing)the only thing missing is front headlight.The whole racing thing may sound strange because they only go 12 mph's and an estamated hp level of 1 wheel hp per a wheel on both wheels witch equils 2 hp and an extra .5 or 1/2 hp from the electric motor and battery witch comes to a total of 2.5 or 2- 1/2 HP,We only race about 50.5 feet witch is not that far.try to get this item up to 9.5 hp and 22.5 mph.I realy like the paint job on it.my reveiw concludes excellent. ...

cute but dangerous!!!
My 4 year old son received this bike last year as a gift, I loved the classic look, but did not like that it does not have any brakes. This is a cool bike and kids want to go fast, but can't really stop in time. My kid had to drag his shoes on the floor like if he was fom the stone-age era to stop!!! I would not recommend this bike, unless you can figure out how to equip this bike with brakes!!!!

Advertisement misinformation
I would think that the information of a child's bike that did not come equipped with brakes would be listed in the advertisement. This bike has NO brakes. Had I known this information I would never have bought this bike. We have a steep driveway and there is no way for her to stop or even slow down without dropping her feet and risking injury. I am currently writing a complaint letter to the manufacturer regarding this situation.

NO BRAKES?!?!?!?!?!?
Okay... I have to admit that this is an adorable little bike. When my son received it for Christmas I don't know who was more excited! Then I proceeded to assemble it and noticed a 'warning' on the side of the box... "No Brakes".

Correct me if I'm wrong here but I thought the whole point of getting a bike with training wheels was to actually 'teach' a child how to ride a bike. Sure the 10" Radio Flyer may be good for the first 3 months but what happens when your little one 'gets up to speed'? They'll be crashing into everything. Meaning the bike, at best, will be limited to backyard use only. Our intent was to go for strolls around our block... and we live in a very quiet neighborhood with little traffic. Still, I wouldn't trust going around the block knowing my little one couldn't stop on his own if he had to or, God forbid, mommy was a step or two behind and not able to 'grab' him quick enough!

For $...I'd recommend going with a bike that has brakes so that parents and/or caregivers can seize 'teachable moments' (like, stop or you'll crash into the house!).

Bummer... I expected more from Radio Flyer.

Great first bike!
My son and daughter both learned to ride with this bike. My Daughter is only 2 and learned really easily. I am getting her a bigger one for Christmas since she did so well this summer with this one. One thing about it is it is hard to get going with it at first.

Nice first bike
Our 2 year-old (now 2-1/2) loves it. Even though he was only 24-25 lbs. and 29" tall at the time, he would have felt like a baby if we bought him a tricycle or a plastic "toy" bike. Radio Flyer has already shipped us a couple of parts that fell off (from heavy use) free-of-charge... ... Read more

It's okay but there's better ones
We bought this for our daughter when she was about 14 months old. She likes the electronic buttons but it's hard for her to drive by herself, and when we push her the front moves so it goes astray. If given the chance, would not buy this again.

Great Toy!
My daughter recieved the Chicco Millennuim toy for her 1st birthday. It came put together, so that was a great help! At first, she wasn't tall enough to sit on it and have both legs reach the ground to push herself, now she can, and loves it. But even then, she would have fun pushing the buttons,and putting the blocks in the slots. She loves to pull the steering wheel off and take it in the car w/her(so the music,and animal sounds will follow us everywhere!)It does get a little annoying as she just holds down a certain button at a time, and we get a barking dog for 15 min.,or a meowing cat,or chirping bird,or car horn...etc. The seat does disconnect when you flip it over, and an adult is required to put it back(sometimes pinches me). At first that was dissapointing, but we've discovered she likes to take it places w/her and play w/the activites on the other side of the seat. The boy who lives next door,just turned 2 and he loves it as well. He is VERY rough w/it - ramming it against the wall, or standing and jumping on the seat, and it remains in tact. All in all, this is a great toy, and I would recommend it to any parent. I know that it will remain in our house,and be one of her favorites for at least another year.

A toy worth fighting over
We set the kitchen timer in 5 minute intervals to share this toy. My 10 month old received this for Christmas. My 2 1/2 year old thinks it's hers. She LOVES the music and rides it around and around the kitchen island. Although my 10 month old is to young to ride the scooter ever since he started standing he has held on to the bar and pushed it. Compared to the other push cars I think the weight of this is best. It has never run away or toppled over. Unfortunately the seat always disconnects when you open it up to play with the blocks inside (an adult has to put it back on). The box showed the shape sorting characters sitting on top of the scooter, they actually fall into the back compartment. They do not stay on top. I love the music...it drives my husband crazy. There is an "off" button if you get tired of listening to it. Definately a good buy!!

A GOOD TOY FOR MANY AGES
My son received this toy a few weeks ago for his first birthday. He LOVES it! The bar in the back is just the right height for a new walker to push, and most of the buttons on the sound board are easy enough for him to manipulate. The little people are cute and the blocks are nice and chunky. The flip-out seat is a little tough to work with (even for sisters aged 2 1/2 and 4), but that's my only complaint! All 3 kids enjoy playing with this toy - each in a different way. It's nice to have a toy that can be played with in so many different ways - I don't think we'll outgrow this one for a long time!

Has issues!
My 2 year old loved the music, building blocks and general features however there are in my opinion two main flaws with this product. Firstly the seat does not stay attached if it is flipped over to the toy section. Maybe this was an error with the unit we purchased but I was forever having to clip it back into the side attachments. Secondly the seat is not solid and my child cracked it when he jumped on it. I did tape the crack but he still managed to snag a piece of skin leaving a nasty cut. Needless to say I threw it out after this incident. So it only lasted 5 months. ... Read more

This replacement charger for the 6-volt batteries that runPower Wheels toys (the Barbie Splash Jeep, for one) is a standard2.25-by-2-by-1.5-inch black box that fits directly into a wall socket andhas a 6-foot cord. Recommendations for use of the charger: use for an18-hour charge before the first use, after each vehicle use, for 18hours before storing the vehicle, and after 30 days even if the vehicleis not used. Never use the charger for longer than 30 hours.--Richard Farr ... Read more

Beware - you may need a 12V System Battery Charger
The review by Amanda Richards prevented me from purchasing the wrong charger. I was about to place my order when I read it. I did need the 12V System Battery Charger which charges two 6V Rechargeable Batteries at the same time, not the Super 6V Battery Charger which only charges one battery at a time.

It is unfortunate that the site does not show all options for Battery Chargers for this product. This would allow the consumer to do their homework prior to placing their order and a happy consumer is typically a returning consumer.

Move cautiously before ordering. Thank you Amanda for your insight.

Wrong Connector
We mispalced the charger for my son's Lil Quad and bought this Fisher Price replacement charger. The package says it is for their 6-volt batteries. We brought it home and it had the wrong connecting end on it. It came with a adapter but it was still the wrong end. Luckily we found the old connector and returned the new one.

Beware of Incomplete Description
It's hard to rate an accessory like a battery charger under the categories "fun", "educational value" and "durability". After all, how much fun can a battery charger possibly be?
My first charger went bust after a few years (with infrequent use), so durability is not at the highest level.

Caution - The description on this item is incomplete, and not as informative as it should be.

The Power Wheels Jeep requires two 6V batteries, and comes with a charger that charges both batteries at the same time. The Super 6-Volt battery charger is described as a "replacement charger for the 6-volt batteries that run Power Wheels toys", and is listed by Amazon as an accessory to the 6V Power Wheels battery.

Please be warned that this charger only charges ONE battery, a significant little fact that is not mentioned until you get the item, where the box clearly states " For 6-Volt or Super 6-Volt system with one battery." For non-technical people like myself, the inclusion of that wording in the description would have saved me a lot of time and energy, and I would have bought the correct charger in the first place.

The correct battery charger for Power Wheels vehicles with two 6V batteries is the 12V System charger, which can also be found at Amazon for the same price.
(Note: you need the 12V SYSTEM charger and not the 12V charger, which is for the 12V batteries.)

Don't be misled like I was, and get it right the first time. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Excellent as a first bike, the Ready-to-Ride comes in bright, friendly primary colors and the classic Radio Flyer stylings that remind parents of the little red tricycles of their youths. As with all Radio Flyer trikes, the Ready-to-Ride is built to last with a durable steel frame and heavy-duty treaded tires. Plastic bucket seats provide a comfortable ride and rubber handles offer a secure grip. Kids can tow a doll or load toys into the yellow storage bin on back and announce that they're coming through with the loud bell on the handlebar. Parents will appreciate the trike's low center of gravity and controlled turning radius that prevents it from tipping during speedy turns. The lightweight and portable Ready-to-Ride also easily folds up for storage and has a handy grip in the back of the seat for carrying or hanging. A reliable safety latch ensures that the trike won't begin to fold up midway through a ride. The Ready-to-Ride trike comes fully assembled and is covered by a one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Classic Radio Flyer That Is Portable and A Big Hit!!!
I bought this trike for my 1 1/2 year old and just loves it. It is fully assemble and easy to collapse making it portable to take with us in the car. My son just loves to push the tricycle around. He hasn't quite figured out pedaling yet, but it's easy for him to push it with his feet. I haven't seen anything to lead me to worry about it tipping. This bike is much more attractive then some of the plastic models out there.

Danger!
We bought this for our 3 year old and were very disapointed. We found this trike to be very dangerous. He rode this bike and fell over many times, we also have the fisher price 3 in one bike and that never happened before. We bought this trike as a rite of passage beliving in the radio flyer name brand and tradition. Took it back to the store! Just because it looks cute is not worth the risk of injury to our son. Sorry Radio Flyer but you need to redesign this one!

Great trike!
I have a 2-year-old who is small for his age, so I was looking for a smaller trike. He loves this trike and it is not tipsy as some of the other models of Radio Flyer are. The other comparably-sized (and same-priced) trike is the Preschool Fold-up Trike by Friendly Toys, but it is not nearly the trike that the Radio Flyer is. The RF is way more heavy duty and for the same price! Another bonus is not having to assemble it. It's already assembled! My little boy started pedaling on it right away and he's never ridden a trike before, so I know it must fit him well. ... Read more

Every child knows this much about evolution: somewhere, way, way back,we were kangaroos. All you need to satisfy the deep primal desire to get aroundby hopping is one of these big, heavy-gauge vinyl hopping balls. The slightlystippled surface of the blue vinyl provides plenty of grip, and the ballinflates to over 53 inches in circumference, so it can accommodate differentsizes of human Roo. The best feature of this model is a large, solid,arch-shaped handle so that you can hang on across long stretches of roughoutback. A pump is required.--Richard Farr ... Read more

Favorite year-round toy
Like most kids today, our two have more toys than they know what to do with, and they hardly ever play with most of them. The Fun Hop is one of the few exceptions--my children play with it daily (my daughter is 5 and my son is 3). They hop all over the house, and even use it to clean up (hey, it's more fun to "hop" stuff back to your room than to just carry it there!). Our only problem is that we only have one hopper, and they usually both want to hop on it. They are pretty good about sharing, but we will be buying a second one soon. The hopper is made of thick rubber and is very durable. In almost 2 years we've never had to add more air to it, so it is maintenance-free. There are no parts to lose, either, and the kids get a LOT of exercise playing with it. What a perfect toy! Get one for every kid in your house.

fun hop rox my world
well, when i was a kid, which wasn't too long ago, this thing took over. i loved it soooo much, that i've been looking for it ever since i first got to use one. now that i've found it, you bet i'm buying a few...if your kid (or adult, as in my case, ha...) likes more physical platy, this is the thing to get. my goodness...i looove them. later dayz, kiddzoz.

This was a PERFECT Xmas gift
I bought 13 of these from Amazon for my little family members as xmas gifts. What a great idea! They were all having a great time bouncing around. The grown-ups wanted larger versions so they could play. I don't know how to top these gifts for next year!

A winner in our home
We bought two of these because the first one was such a good toy. It is played with daily. The kids hop everywhere - down the hall, in the kitchen, around the yard...

I look for toys that are fun, educational, and fairly quiet. I want toys that are easy to play with and have more than a button you push to make something happen. I want toys that encourage exploration of the world.

This toy meets those requirements. I would say it is very educational in that it encourages large motor skills, balancing, eye and hand coordination etc. It is also educational in that it encourages imagination- hey, I'm a Kangaroo mommy! This is very fun and they only noise it makes really is the noise the kids make while playing on the hopper.

It is well worth every penny.
Enjoy.

Nothing gets a kid's attention like a fire engine racing by, and nowhere's a bright red version that's pleasingly kid size. The Fire Engine for Twois bright red, 31 inches long, 32 inches tall, and made of tough and ruggedplastic. The ignition key turns with a satisfying ratchety sound, the steeringwheel rotates, and the front wheels are entirely mobile, making quick turns andsudden reversals a snap. It's powered, in the best Flintstones tradition, byyour little one's feet moving under the seat, and there's an extra seat in backfor a friend to ride along. Like any proper emergency vehicle, it also has asiren and flashing red light, located right on the dashboard, that activate withthe press of a button. Whether it's an emergency run to the cookie jar or a dollthat needs a trip to the hospital, the Fire Engine for Two will get a couple ofkids going in a hurry. --John Longenbaugh ... Read more

Wheels do not turn
We bought this for our 2 year old who loves these ride on toys. Unfortunately we had to return the item because the wheels do not turn without assistance and therefore the child and parent becomes very frustrated very quickly because it does not move around as it should.

Step II replacement tires
A favorite of preschoolers, but the wheels bust long before the body shows any signs of wear. We have bought Step II and Little Tykes Riding Toys-- the only difference, the Step II company is much kinder and much more helpful in sending replacement wheels. Wheels should be included with all of these toys, optional for an additional cost, of course.

Great Toy
I didn't buy this toy new, but it's still in perfect condition. The previous owners kept it outside, so there was some faiding and it was dirty. I gave it a good washing and now my cousin's little guys (two and five years old) just love it. Extreamly adorable. We got a Fireman's hat and the to little guys take turns wearing the hat and driving while the other rides in the back. I love Step 2 toys. Very durable. For the two year old's birthday I got him a Step 2 motercysle. Him and his brother just love it, although they fight over who's going to use it... My cousin said at nights she has to put it on a high shelf in the gurage, or the boys will get up and play with it.

Firetruck Happy
Bought this for my 16mth old son, He absolutely loves it. Have not had any trouble with it. The only negative things I can say is the sticker for the pretend redlights on top keeps peeling off ( the cop car had real red/blue lights on top) And the second thing is it has no doors so be careful when turning they can and WILL fall out and hit their head on the driveway!Got back up and ready to go again. But he just loves it, The price was reasonable, shipping was high, But it was a good investment, we keep it in the garage out of the weather, so it has held together great. So overall I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a ride on Firetruck for their kids, Oh the back seat is great too, he rides in both places. They never get tired of being pushed so be ready for lots of pushing/pulling fun. Works great on concrete,grass,asphalt... Assembly was Very Easy.

to difficult to use
We purchased this for our daughter who saw one in a store that we could not get her out of it. Of course then when we bought it and got it home, the wheels do not turn easily! Even with us having to push her around constantly in it, we have to keep bending over to straighten the wheels.A real waste of money. And very frustrating for her and us! ... Read more

This lightweight but sturdy set of two ramps, with a connecting flat piece, can be easily set up to form your own mini-skate park. It’s not just skateboarding though, the ramps also let you catch air if you’re on rollerblades, a BMX bike, or a scooter. The manufacturer, Compass Outdoors, makes other ramp and rail components that can be combined with this one to expand and arrange your ramps into many possible configurations. Assembly is required, but the instructions are easy to follow and all the necessary parts are included. --David Stoesz ... Read more

Wonderful backyard fun!!!!
My son recieved this 4-wheeler from his Aunts and Uncles for his 3rd birthday. It has been the most loved present of all. He wakes up every morning wanting to go riding. He has been practicing going around all kinds of obstacles and using reverse. It is a overall wonderful toy and we Highly recomend it.

So Much Fun!!
We bought this for our 3yr. olds birthday. He absolutely LOVES it! He rides this every day. This is so much better than the littler ones because it also goes in reverse. Well worth the $$

The only downfall is that you have to recharge it at the end of the day or it won't be very powerful the next day. I highly recommend it! ... Read more

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!

a great, classic toy
Before my daughter could walk, she could bang enthusiastically around the house on this horse. "Horse" naturally became one of her first words. At 15 months, it remains her favorite toy.

Kids really love this one!
Really cute and classic looking. Both of my children loved this toy. Our children have had plenty of use out of it. Only downfall is the handles won't stay on the horse. We had to replace them for the second child. But other than that it is a nice toy.

Handle grip broke after 2 yrs but....
A great toy. Lots of fun time spent riding on our hardwood floors. But when 2nd child started to use the 2 yr old toy the handles broke. Radio Flyer is replacing them for a 3$charge.

A walking tool
My son received this before he began walking. It literally helped him learn balance and how to walk. He's now almost 19 mos. and zooms through the house pushing it from the head. He does also ride on it occasionally. I've found it to be very sturdy; we've never had a problem with it flipping over. We just have to watch that he doesn't "ram" into furniture and walls. He's learned to "steer" it and avoid the walls and has done very well. He loves it. ... Read more
