The Coolest Wagon
My 2-year-old cousin got this wagon for Christmas and I was amazed at how fun it was. It is great for outdoors, and can easily go over all different types of terrain. It is safe because it is hard to tip over, even when you go over bumps. The high walls make it hard for children to fall out. It can teach your child to share because everyone will want a turn in the wagon and your child will have to learn to give other kids a chance. Also, like most other Radio Flyer wagons, it seems very durable if you take care of it properly.

Easy to Refit
I had one of these sitting in the garage for years. The bed of the wagon (wood) had really rotted out badly, and the paint on the side panels had all but disappeared. As a sometime woodworker, I simply refitted the wagon with a better quality bed, and built new sideboards out of red cedar. And as far as the rough riding, I purchased 10 inch pneumatic tires (at a very reasonable price), and it rides much better. I guess you could say that the only thing left of the original wagon is the frame. I wouldn't pay what Radio Flyer is asking for the wagon, but I would be willing to purchase a frame only, and build my own. It looks nicer and will last much, much longer.

Not the perfect wagon, especially for the price.
I received this wagon second hand, and I'm glad I didn't spend the outrageous price charged for it. Yes, it's relatively durable (although ours literally fell apart under my 2 year old the other day. A nut holding the wagon together worked itself loose on our walk and the whole thing went to pieces. Replacing the nut fixed the problem), but it also tips easily. The handle is much too short. I've had to tie a piece of rope to the handle so that I can reach it without bending over. It is a really rough ride, and my son never looks very comfortable in it. All in all, I think I'll be passing it on and buying something else. Maybe I'm just picky, but I'd rather pay for quality, not the Radio Flyer name.

An excellent wagon!
My son has had this wagon since before he could walk. His grandparents have had many a wonderful walk, pulling him along in the wagon. He is now almost 8 years old, and still loves to play with it, using it to transport rocks, wood and (occasionally) mud. It still looks almost as new as the day we got it.

Radio Flyer is the Best!
I had one of these as a kid let me tell you it took alot of ruffness and it was the strongest wagon I have ever had. Now that I have kids they have one and its so cool how the sides come off so when even the kids get bigger you can have just the three sides on and have a bench. AS far as the paint coming off sure with wear but it is non-toxic. Plus any item paint wears off but you are not going to find a more durable sturdy wagon anywhere but Radio Flyer I am a loyal customer and will always be. We love this wagon! ... Read more

They Love It!!!
My parents gave it (2 of them) to our twin boys for their 1st birthday - they loved it - they didn't want to open any other presents. They had most of their meals on it for the first couple of days. They are almost 2 now and still play with it all the time. FYI they got it in October so it was an inside toy for the winter and now they love to play with it outside - very durable.

"Loads" of Fun
My one year old son received this as a gift for this first birthday. He LOVES to ride it. The noises it makes are just great. One option makes a noise and even vibrates the seat under him - just like he's riding a real tractor! The only downside is the back door easily breaks.

My 21 month old's favorite toy!
My mother-in-law bought this for my son to play on at her house. He loves it! He picks up twigs all over the yard and dumps them in Grammy's firewood pile. She uses them for kindling! Hauling sticks with his Gator makes my son feel like he can help when everyone else is out in the yard working. He's not underfoot or in the way. I think it makes him feel like a big boy to be able to help his Grandpa haul stones and grass clippings. And he loves the song that the tractor plays. He hops off to dance every time he pushes the button. The first couple of times he pushed the other buttons, he couldn't believe what he was hearing! He kept turning to me and pointing to the tractor - I guess to ask me if I heard that too! LOL! I'm really surprised at his reaction to this toy. He's never really shown much interest in his other toys, but this one is almost captivating to him. Thanks to John Deere for licensing their name to such a great product and to Tek Nek for making it. I'm really pleased with the quality of this toy. The entertainment and educational value of this toy are priceless!

Lots of fun for my girls!
My twin girls recieved this (as 13 mo. olds) for a Christmas gift from their grandparents. I will admit that I thought it was pretty funny to see them playing in their dresses with such a "boy toy" Christmas morning, but hey, who cares as long as they like it. Well, they don't just like it, they love it! Luckily they share really well. It's now Spring (the girls are 16 mo. old) and they can really get outside with it and move about. Their legs and feet fit good, whereas with their other ride toys they get cramped and can't move well. There is even a storage area in the back for my one daughter to take her stuffed "duck" for a ride. They really like the sound effects and song -sounds real. So far the durability has been great, no problems at all. This is really the best ride on for a toddler. Maybe they could make it in pink? Just kidding!

FUN
I just go this riding toy for my child care center. The kids love the toy. They love the fun sound it makes. The also love they can put toys in the back part. ... Read more

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. ...
