I love these mats!
I bought 2 sets for my boy's (ages 5&3) room...I love them,I use them instead of a rug on their hard wood floor.I've not had a problem with slipping...they make a great safe play area for little rough and tumble boys! Great purchase!

WONDERFUL PRODUCT
I purchased 2 packs of these mats and placed them under my grandaughters LITTLE TYKES play structure and they are wonderful. She is just learning how to go down the slide and they have prevented her from scraping her little hands and knees. Great for outdoors. Just run a hose over them. I wish I could find more of this product in stock somewhere.

Cat scratch, but easy to clean
Our cat scratched one of the squares in our setup the first day they were laid out, and hasn't bothered them since.

The mats are great. They're very comfy, absorb falls and hits and crashing toys. They're easy to clean - just carry out whichever squares get spilled on or spit-up on or otherwise mucked up, and hose them off or rinse in the tub. There are no fibers to suck in dust and hair and cat dander, like a carpet would, and you don't have to clean the whole thing at once.

BUT you're going to want edge pieces. This set doesnt come with them. A competing product has edge pieces included but that are easily removed and chewed on; it's distinguishable because it's less expensive but with smaller squares (20" instead of 24") and a cheaper foam that may be less resistant to tear.

This set, although you have to buy the edge pieces separately, the edges are beveled, so that your kid won't trip on them and so that it's harder for him or her to pull them up and chew on them.

A great idea...
We bought one pack of these to put under our 2-year-old's slide in the (concrete) back yard. They're super durable and stay connected easily - they've been outside through heat and rain for a few months and don't show any signs of wear except where the cat attacked them (and even that's not bad). They're so great I ordered two more packs to cover a bigger area (he fell off last week and managed to miss the mat and hit the concrete...). Our friends have covered their whole playroom floor with these things. Perfect for active toddlers...as if there're any other kind... :)

Question
Are these mats slippery? if i put them on the carpet do they sort of stick in place. do they grip well? ... Read more

One of WHAM-O's longest, craziest Slip 'n' Slides, the Super Geyser lets kids cool down whilesliding along 22 feet of rugged vinyl into a large, inflatable splash pool. Tricked out with a colorful tikitheme, the Super G has a blowup slide bar near the top (to make sure kids slide out straight) and a wild tikitunnel with geyser jets that soak kids as they zip by. Once you've hooked up your hose, hundreds of waterjets keep the sliding surface slick. A set of safe, plastic stakes keep the slide from slipping. --Paul Hughes ... Read more

Fun
It was really fun the first summer, and it didn't break at all, except for when my neighbor jumped on the tunnel and popped it, and we used it alot and with all my friends from the neighborhood (like ten kids ranging from kindergarten to a seventh grader who is technically too old for it because she is 13)! Then this summer we got it and started playing on it. The seam where the splash pool connects to the slide ripped, so the water in the pool got all muddy, then I went down it and I scraped up my knee on where the hose goes from the gyser/pool to the little things that spray on the slide. It is really fun though when you are going so fast that you fly over the inflated part. A problem is that it is so thin the stakes rip it. Another problem with the thinness is that we wear shorts to school now and our knees are all red because it is so bumpy. Me my brother and my best friend learned to take turns when we had to wait in line for it. I think it should be reccomended for a higher age, because other wise next year my friend won't be able to do it. It lasted for one and half summers until we got a new one that wasn't from Wham-O and it said it was 20 feet but I think it lied because it was so smal compared to our old one, but it was a lot cheaper.

Not Fun
I got a different slip and slide. But they aren't much different. It was not fun jumping on your stomach. I was sore the day after I tried it. It was certainly not educational. What do you learn from it? And durable? It ripped after we used it a few times. After that you couldn't insert the hose to the slide. You had to hold the hose and wet the person as they slided. It was fun getting wet with the hose but the slide wasn't any fun. A few other things you should know- The part that is supported to be blowed up is very hard to do. And when is does get blown up sliding with a lot of force will send you right over the end. That is not fun! And if you slide with a nomal amount of force it isn't enough to get to the pool of water at the end. Also, if you are doing this on grass the water turns dirty from grass and mud. I don't recommend it!

This Slip 'N' Slide is a blast!!
I had so much fun on the Slip 'N' Slide Super Geyser today!! This toy is a blast!! First of all my brother(117 lbs.), my sister(45 lbs.), and I(90 lbs) all slid on it, and it didn't rip!! Even though the weight lemit is 110 lbs. it held up my brother. The durability is great...except if you accidentaly slide into one of the standing blow-ups, they fall over on you. It took me about 15-20 minutes to set up. It is lots of fun going through the tunnel!!! Also at the bottom there is like a botton that says "push" and when you slide over it water sprays out and soaks you!! My siblings and I loved it! I will be getting on it tom. with my friends!! THIS SLIP N SLIDE ROCKS!!!

A Fun but Unfortunate Time!
I had much fun with my sister on the slip n slide I got for my birthday, but it wasn't educational and it ripped the first time we used it, and we followed the instructions on how to use it. We slid on our stomachs, and we were sliding on flat ground, but two things deflated and there was a rip and a whole during tyhe first time we used the whamo slip n slide.

mom of 2
I, too, felt this was not a good buy for [the price]. It lasted ONE day and the seams began to leak. The side panels come off esily when bumped, which is nearly every time. I tried patching the seams with approved plastic pool adhesive and tape and it did not work well. The leaks caused a decrease in water pressure and negated the whole purpose of the toy. This was a waste of money in the long run. Not at all durable. My 8-y/o 43lb daughter slid to the end and the runner portion became detached from the siding. Basically ruining it. Not an acceptable product in my opinion. ... Read more

Little Powerhouse
My son recently received a Power Wheels jeep that had been in use for over 3 years before he got it. The batteries had not been charged as specified in the instructions, and they died shortly after he started using it. The jeep couldn't run on concrete, much less on grass.

I replaced both existing batteries with these, which incidentally are a different colour from the picture, and the jeep now runs fine on most surfaces.

It requires 18 hours charging time before you can use the batteries, so be prepared for some impatience before the vehicle can actually be used. You have to charge them after each use, and also once a month if the vehicle is not in use, at 16 hours each time.

Tech support from Fisher Price is non-existent in my part of the world, where 800 numbers are not accessible, because their site doesn't have a customer service or tech support e-mail address listed. I needed important information, because I learned that the model I have was recalled for electrical problems, and I wanted to see exactly which parts needed to be fixed to solve the problem.

I'm sure that these batteries will last a long time with proper care, but wish the tech support was better

Love it!
I bought this for my daughter when she was 9 mos and she absolutely loved it. She is now 11 mos and loves to push as well as ride it. It's very easy for her to turn the "car" herself from its position since its not too heavy for her. She is not walking on her own as of yet but sure feels proud of herself when she pushes this across the room.

Outstanding value
I bought this for my son when he started walking at 7 months. After one day, he had it mastered and was walking all over the house with it. At ages 1 and 2, he rode it everywhere. He absolutely loved it. At age 3, he asked me to take it down from the rafters so he could ride it some more. I have since passed on the toy to a friend's baby who is also enjoying it. You definitely get your money's worth!

Great, sturdy ride on
We bought this for our daughter before she could walk, and immediately she loved it. It's low enough that she felt secure as we pushed her around the house. As she learned to walk, this ride on was a perfect helper. It's sturdy so it doesn't tip, and it's handle is positioned well for her to hold it without having to bend over awkwardly. Now that she's bigger (and walking) she loves this toy as a ride on, and she still likes to push it around.

Fun for even the very young!
My niece received this toy when she was only SIX MONTHS OLD. It was great for her first time parents, who were waiting for some real indication of a real person inside that baby body. They would put her on, tell her to hold the handlebars and to 'put her feet up'. She actually did it and understood them (I'm sure after being shown a time or 2). Then they would push her (carefully of course) and she would squeal with delight. It was great for them to know she actually understood them and could interact with them!

An awesome grow-with-me toy!
I purchased this for my son when he was about 10 months old. I thought it would help him get from one place to another. That is exactly what it did! He will be 2 in a couple of days and I must say that it is his favorite outside (and inside) toy. He pushes it, rides on it, and throws it off of the deck steps. It is like a timex....takes a licking and still is ticking. It's very durable. (...) ... Read more

Editorial Review

This combination tricycle/stroller offers an excellent solution for ambivalent preschoolers who want to pedal one moment and be pushed along the next. As with all Radio Flyer rides, the Voyager is built to last, with a durable steel frame and heavy-duty treaded tires. The trike’s unique feature is its steering and pedal lock that allows kids to either pedal or just sit back and let parents do all the work. For parents’ ease of use, the Voyager has a comfortable stroller-style push bar that adjusts to four different positions, and a snap-on snack tray that holds two drinks and a set of keys. A removable nylon backpack with a waterproof interior is attached to the stroller with velcro, and provides just enough space to carry diaper bag necessities. Kids will love the ringing bell and bucket on the back of trike. Parents will love the adjustable seat and safe turning radius that helps to prevents the trike from tipping. --Cristina Vaamonde ...

Great Idea - Bad Design
I saw this in the store and it was exactly what I was looking for in a trike for my son. Brought it home, assembled it, and within a week the steering mecanism broke - basically my son wanted to steer one way and my wife wanted to go in a another, battle ensued and the wheel went in one direction and the handlebar went in another. Keep in mind a 2 1/2 year old stuggled and won against his mother. Tore it apart and found that a cheap plastic ring around on the frame connected it with the cables and the plastic ring got stripped in the tug-o-war. Only way to fix is to replace frame!! Manufacturer offered no assistance - a total loss for the purpose it was purchased for.

Not what we expected!
We bought this for our son when he was 18 months old! The Stroller option lasted all but 3 months and snapped! We are not even able to get any replacement or a way to fix it! To use as a trike it is not all that convenient either! The wheel has some kind of system that will let the pedals go freely and when my son tries to pedal backwards, nothing will happen. It is not easy to explain to a 2 and a half year old that if we wants to back up he needs to get off the bike and turn the bike around! I would not recommend it, it is expensive and does not hold what it seems to promise!

We like our trike
We bought this trike for my daughter for x-mas. She has been on it several times in our neighborhood and the local park. We haven't had the cable snap nor had any problems in steering it. My daughter is slowly getting the idea of pedaling but still needs help when steering. I would definitely recommend this trike to a parent with a toddler learning to ride.

Fun while it lasted (which wasn't long at all)
Really wish I could say we loved this tricycle. It has great features with the attached backpack, cupholder, and advertised steering capability; unfortunately, the steering cable snapped after only a few rides and now it's useless. Could we get a fix for the cable? Maybe. But, since we don't feel like 'fixing' an expensive trike every 6th ride, we returned it instead. We tried to save money by buying this instead of a Kettler. Instead we've learned an expensive lesson (which is: there's a reason the Kettler steering mechanism controls the back wheels, rather than a cable system which attempts to steer the front wheel). Bummer, since it had such potential to be so cool (and was a piece of junk instead).

Outstanding toy at a fair price
The wife and I purchased this trike for our 21 month old son and he adores it. The only problem I had is that the steering cable that controls the adult steering handle broke, rendering it uncapable of turning by the supervising adult. But to Radio Flyer's credit I called their customer service and told them what happened, they told me they were aware of the problem and proceeded to tell me that the issue with the cable has been re-engineered to avoid this from happening any further. They then told me they were sending out a replacement part free of charge, they shipped it first class and in less then a week I had the new part along with easy to follow instructions on how to replace it. Now the steering feels structually sound. Although the trike did break I was extremely pleased to see a company stand behind their product and offer replacements free of charge. Way to go Radio Flyer, now if I can only get our son to play with the other toys in the house I will feel like it was all money well spent.. ... Read more

Beware
As for the pilates, they really tighten you up.But what I have a problem with is the way they run the business.Apparantley, I didn't understand that further videos were going to be charged to my visa check card.They were and when I called to cancel it, I had to wait for the package to be sent to my house and then write REFUSE and Return To Sender on it.After a couple of weeks went by, there was still no refund.I called the customer serive line again and was told that I would be refunded less the shipping and handeling.That was about $7.Very disappointing.I just think it should be more clear that further charges WILL be charged to you.So even when you see the infomercial and they bring it down to a great price...beware because they have a fantastic set up to sell you more and more stuff when you call to order.It's obvious that the operater is reading a script.That just annoys me.

Be careful when you order anything from Winsor Pilates
I ordered a Pilates video form the www.winsorpilates.com website.Without my consent, I got enrolled in a series of videos, and a month later I got other DVDs from them with the corresponding bill.When I refused the item, they reluctantly refunded the price of the discs but refused to refund the shipping costs, regardless of their so-called "money-back guarantee" and deceptive practices.

FYI---Only one video!!
Some of the other reviews claim this set comes with four videos.It does not.It comes only with one 20 minute video and a lot of box filler(Ads for more videos and a mat. who needs a mat??)-----All for only $39!!

Why Amazon allows the other false reviews claiming more videos to remain I don't know.But be warned.

Amazing
I recently had an awful ankle injury which confined me to the couch for three weeks and in the four months following limited my mobility greatly.While spending my three weeks on the couch, I came across Winsor Pilates on an infomercial and decided to try it.Afraid to use it at first due to the injury in my ankle and my aversion to anything physical, I finally tried it about a week and half ago.

I wish I would have started it the minute I got it.I feel so much stronger, refreshed, and more fit than I have ever felt in my life.Most importantly, I am able to work out without putting the strain on my ankle and amazingly my ankle is feeling stronger and better than before my injury.The first few times I started to workout, I followed the modified moves, but now I feel strong enough and confident enough to complete the regular workout without modifications.

As a larger woman, I always was ashamed going to the gym or attempting to work out with other programs for fear of not being able to keep up or follow the moves, but never had that problem with Winsor Pilates.Also, I am already seeing results which is motivation enough to keep going.I recommend this to just about everyone, whatever age, whatever fitness level, and even if you have asthma or other injuries, this is an effective, low-impact way to get and stay in shape.

WOW!
I get seventeen magazine and in it they had a explanation of mari's workout and a sample on to try. I figure, could it hurt? It was only a ten minute workout so i tried it. It was the one exercise program that i have actually felt comfortable doing and that i really felt was giving me results. I did that for a week before ordering this kit and it is really amazing. I have only been on it for 4 days and i can feel that my powerhouse is stronger and that my legs have more strength. They say in ten workouts you feel results, in 20 you see them, and in 30 everyone else sees them. I know that i'm feeling the results in less than ten workouts. And i love love love the accelerated workout. Its tough at first but after doing it twice i can already do the moves better! ... Read more

Fun for twins, but there is one problem...
My 11 month old twins have enjoyed their swing together since they were about 7 months old. They do grab at each other's hats and hair, but if I give them each something to hold, it solves that problem. My neighbor tried to put her almost two year old in the swing and the seat belt would not fit around her waist. This will only work for this season, I guess...

Just make drain holes and there's no problem
As a mommy of many kids an owner of a daycare, I need as much help as I can get. This works great! I can have two of the triplets in one, and my youngest and another one of the triplets in the other! There is a problem with draining, but all you have to do is drill drain holes in it (I know its hard to drill in such a nice swing, but its a necessity) and you're set.

About the straps- I ended up getting creative and making straps for the seats.

Close range!!
I have this swing in my yard. My 14 month old son and 10 month old nephew use it together. This swing will not get much more use after this, since it is VERY short and the kids are leg to leg (kicking eachother and whatnot). They can reach one another and they pull the hair out of one anothers head, LOL! Another thing I did not like was the straps. They are around the legs not the waist, therefore, my 14 month old son arches his back and can actually stand up wearing the straps. DANGEROUS! It is a cute design but needs improvement.

not ment for long legged kids
The old style of this product is SO much nicer!!!! This one has a floor in and if the kids are long legged they do not fit! (unless they want to have their chin to their knees.) It is also a very short lived product because of this aswell. Please bring back the old style ..... it is so much better but only older daycare providers have them.... and they don't want to give them up, as they know what a great thing they have. I would not suggest this to anyone; short life product for the money.

Very Nice Twin Swing
I have a set of 9 month old twin boys who absolutely love this swing. They sit facing each other and have a blast "talking" to one another. It's nice for a mom of twins and another child to be able to push all three kids at one time. (The boys in the caterpillar and my daughter in her own swing.) I would definately recommend this toy to any parent who has more than one small child. ... Read more

ouch
i used to have a razor scooter i was having so much fun i would ride it every chance i got. But one day i was riding it right after it rained and i went into the garage made a turn and slipped and fell on my arm. then a few days later my arm still hurt and had to go to the hospital luckely it was just a sprain. it is not that relieable on making sharp turns. don't buy this item it is dangerous.

Eight yr old daughter was thrilled!
My daughter has been begging for one for two years. We waited until we felt she was developmentally ready for it and would be responsible enough about safety. When we rolled it out her face was priceless! She hasn't been off of it. It seems to be easy for her to fold and carry and the brake works very well. I am very pleased with this product.

Can I ride my Razor? Now?
I love my Razor!! My brother and mom have Razors too. We like to
ride them in the driveway and at parks. The Razor is much smoother than my old scooter. It's really, really cool!!!

Great Outdoor Fun
I have three daughters, who each have a different color razor scooter. They ride their scooters everyday after school and on weekends. They adore these scooters. It is great exercise for them too.

Editorial Review

Basically a re-tooled Big-Wheel, the Scream Machine has flash, speed, and maneuverability, but with the control and stability younger kids need. It has two fat, plastic rear wheels for maximum skid. The front, though, features a large traction tire that must be inflated. The tire is rubber because of the Scream Machine’s V-type brakes, which are operated from BMX-style, gripped handle bars. These brakes makes it much safer--especially on downhill runs--than bikes with the foot brakes. Leg room is adjusted by slidingthe bucket seat forward or back. The shiny frame, with shocks, is made of high-tensile steel that won’t rust or wear out after the first year. It has to be completely assembled by adults, however. To that end, a detailed instruction book and tools, including a wrench and Allen screwdriver, are included. --Diane Beall ... Read more

Replacement Parts
We are having a great deal of trouble with Razor. They have an affiliate company who handles shipping and company questions. My son's replacement rear tires are on back order, with no indication on when delivery will take place. I think I'm about ready to take him to Toys R Us to get a "Green Machine", since this company doesn't seem to be bothered with keeping 6 year old children hostage to their apparant problem with inventory.

A hit in the neighborhood!
Not since the Little Tikes Rocket (which from what I can tell they no loner make- a shame!)has there been a toy that has gripped all of our neighborhood kids. We live on a dead end cul-de-sac that has a slight incline that is perfect to get some speed for this kind of toy and everyone is loving it. I bought this for my 8 & 10 year old boys to give them something to do besides sit in front of Gamecube all spring break. Our neighborhood has had a lot of fancy and expensive "ride on" type toys - some electric. I feel kids have enough sit-on-your-butt-and-do-nothing toys and activities so I have refused (much to their dismay) to but electric ride-ons. However, as I said earlier, when they were younger they had a blue jet made by Little Tikes that had similar features as this kind of ride-on that they out grew a few years ago. The idea of this toy reminded me of that jet so that is why I bought it. I thought it would be a hit with my boys and it was. It is the toy everyone in the neighborhood waits in line to use!

Fun, fun, fun
Santa brought this one and we had to adjust the seat up to the closest position for a normal 6 year old. It took him 2 days to figure out how to spin it but then what fun. He doesn't use the brake though. Easy to put together. Tubeless tire so it was a little difficult to inflate. Lots of play value left in this one for years to come.

need to readjust age range
We purchased the razor scream machine for christmas. We adjusted the seat to the closest hole and my 5 year old son still can't reach. He is the same size as most of the other children in his age group. I know he'd love it if he could reach. So I have been trying to locate the scream machine jr.. He just turned 5, so maybe in a few months he'll beable to reach. We were all disappointed he couldn't ride it.

Pinches Fingers
We bought this toy for our 5 year old son. He is very tall so the seat is perfect at the furthest setting. The 2 problems that we have had are 1) the back wheels are already torn up after only riding around the block on sidewalks twice and 2) He has already twice turned around to tell me something and ran over his hand with the back wheel which left pretty big cuts on his fingers. He loves riding this but it is one problem that deserves mention. ... Read more

This pink and purple girl's trike is equipped with everything a beginning rider would want or anticipate from Radio Flyer. Besides being for first-time riders--excitement enough--it comes with a list of confidence-inspiring features, besides having three large, sturdy wheels on a lightweight metal frame to prevent toppling. There's also a large bucket seat for maximum comfort; easy to reach pedals with foot brakes; easy-grip handle bars with wind-lovin' tassels; a rear-end basket for all kinds of toddler "stuff; and a kitschy finger bell kids will love to ring as they turn blind corners in the house. New riders will take pride in every pedal with a trike so well-equipped. --Diane Beall ... Read more

A real hit!
My three year old sports nut just got this for his birthday. We have not had any problems, and he loves it. I can see his hitting improving already.

Skip this toy
My husband and I purchased this toy for our 5 year for christmas. We have an unfinished basement so we let him play this downstairs. (It's too cold to play outside now.) The toy is fun when it actually works. Many times the balls get stuck. It's very frustrating constantly trying to get them to actually pop out. When they do sometimes they are too low to hit. We haven't yet tried to play t-ball with it. It's fairly light so it's possible it may tip over many times. I find that the pieces are pretty durable. My son does continue to play it but he often stops cause it gets frustrating. He sometimes just plays with the balls and bat so it wasn't a total loss.

I believe it will help any T-ball or Little League player to improve upon His/Her hitting! ... Read more

When the sun beats down over the long haul, this jaunty, adjustable red polyester umbrellatransforms a little red wagon into a shady Conestoga. And it will serve you well should you be surprised byrain showers on your journey. You could also clamp it on a lawn chair, a cooler handle, a park railing, or abackpack strap. The neoprene-padded jaws of the sturdy plastic, 6.5-inch spring clamp move smoothly on180-degree hinges, so the umbrella gets a flat, slip-proof grip on objects that are from an eighth of an inchto 2 inches thick--even on wet wood or slick metal. Made especially to sit pretty on a classic Radio Flyerwagon, the versatile, heavy-duty clamp also accommodates non-planar surfaces, such as a wide-lippedwall. Unfasten the Velcro closure and slide open a taut 26.5-inch diameter circle of shade made of chunky,top-quality materials. A 4-inch-long, .375-inch-diameter metal-spiraled neck above the clamp allows you toadjust the shade to any angle in any direction. This beauty is made to last as long as a Radio Flyer wagon!The umbrella is 30.75 inches long, and comes with instructions. Ava Natov ... Read more

Didn't hold up....
I bought two of these umbrellas for the ATW wagon. They both broke at the plastic clip area after one time of using them. The clip is made of plastic and wasn't very durable for the wagon. It would make a better stroller umbrella.

Great Concept but Not Durable
The umbrella is a great idea and works well with the radio flyer wagon. The problem is ours broke after limited use. The umbrella did not bend easily in the coil area. We found that when people adjusted the umbrella they always bent it where the button is to put the umbrella up and down. In the end that is where the umbrella snapped in two. So just take your time when trying to bend the umbrella to block the sun!

A Taper's Delight
This little baby is perfect for concert tapers looking for an easy way to attach an umbrella to their stand. Forget about Duct and Gaffer's tape. Just clamp, and you're ready to record in the rain.

+T to all....

Don't buy for a plastic wagon
The clamp on this broke the FIRST time I attempted to put it on my Discovery
wagon. I assume the spring and clamp are not meant to open that wide.
It is a strong clamp & should be suited to a metal or wooden sided wagon.

Useful but very fragile!
I bought three of these umbrellas. 2 for my youngest daughters wagon because you need 2 to cover the whole wagon. Plus one for my oldest daughters wheelchair. They really are wonderful to have if you remember not to just grab and bend them from anywhere. My husband has snapped all three of them in half because he forgets that he has to be gentle. I have recently ordered another one just because it's impossible to find a clip on umbrella for a wheelchair for when it's raining. BUT... I will not be buying more for the wagon. Too much money to spend for something that breaks so quickly to only be used for shading sun! (...) ... Read more

worth the wait!!!!
Hi everyone my name is Holly and I got this scooter a little over a month ago and I absoultly adore it.The 1st time I got it I rode it for at least an hour and I thought this was the best thing I ever got.This scooter brought me lots of joy and if you buy it I'm sure you will enjoy it to. Bye bye

no better bang for buck
I've ridden a lot of electric vehicles. I don't believe there's a better deal. It has a 350 watt motor which is enough to get my 180 lbs up around 16 mph- which is fine for getting around town. for your $200 it's pretty bare bones. there are no shocks or front brake. this scooter will be fine for most people, unless you have to ride up a big hill. if you do have to go up big hills, you're going to need 600 watts which can be found in a $500 scooter (along with bigger batteries, front shocks and brakes). other great sites about scooters are visforvoltage.com and electric-scooter-world.com. i've played around with mine and added another smaller pair of batteries to extend the range to over 10 miles. if you have one and want to know how i did it, email me jon_ando@hotmail.com

I added a mirror and a small tire pump by Schwinn. I may add a front basket for grocery shopping so I need not take the car up the street for that either. Thank you. Excellent product.

Fundamental comments & questions, more than a review: HELP!
I'm an adult, and clicking on toys "for adults" has shown me a mixed bag of scooters and bikes, mostly for young children and toddlers.
I would love to rate my scooter, but I would have to buy, own, and
use one in order to review it. PLEASE list ADULT "TOYS" under the headung of 'adult toys'. Also EXTREMELY IMPORTANT is knowing what WEIGHT can any (each and every) scooter carry without impairing its
function. (Top weight of owner-rider).
CAN YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS? WITHOUT CLEAR DATA I CANNOT BUY A SCOOTER FOR MYSELF OR FOR ANY ADULT OR CHILD I WOULD LIKE TO. THANKS ... Read more

Editorial Review

With two different configurations to choose from, the All Terrain Switchboard offers young riders more versatility than your typical scooter or skateboard. The Switchboard is shaped like an oversize skateboard with abuilt-in handle that can either be popped up or locked down. With the easy-grip handle in the up position the switchboard is a scooter for beginners; fold and lock the handle down and it's an off-road skateboard. The board itself is made of wood, with nonskid treads for extra traction, an extra-wide wheel base(14 inches wide), and rugged off-road wheels. The Switchboard is definitely on the heavy side and may be a little too cumbersome for younger kids, but it trades the extra weight for stability and durability. --Chris Burns ... Read more

I guess it's okay for _very_ young children...
I bought this product for my daughter for Xmas two years ago. It hasn't got much use because it is difficult to steer on a narrow sidewalk. Even so, the wheels have become very loose on their plastic trucks, and I can't find a way to adjust them! If you're looking for a scooter, skip this and buy another type of scooter. If you're looking for something to train a young child to ride a skateboard, this may be for you. I'd recommend this off-road model as opposed to the one with the regluar skateboard wheels - the off-road wheels can take more abuse and they can handle riding on grass and bumps. Because of its limited speed and steering, I wouldn't recommend this for a child older than 4. Older kids will struggle to keep up with their friends riding regular scooters if they're riding a Switchboard!

looking
Thanks to all who wrote in. There were too many "accidents" to be ignored. The wide wheel base and the handle with a locking problem. It is always my luck to buy something and all the things mentioned that could go wrong - DO.

Thank you again for the reviews. I will keep looking.

This is the worst toy ever!
It looks fun in the picture, but there is a major design flaw with this toy - the wheels stick out so far that when the rider tries to go they end up slamming their ankle into the tire. Within 2 minutes of using this toy my son ripped open his ankle. This toy should be recalled. Do not buy it. I would send mine back, but we had already thrown out the packaging.

Great "First" Skateboard!
I bought my son this skateboard when he was 2 1/2. I'm now shopping for a regular skateboard for him. He has used this toy for a year and a half now. It has survived some pretty tough play and a few bumps by the cars. My son loves this toy and it's usually the first driveway toy he goes for. He also uses this year round, which says a lot for New England. I highly recommend getting this board for a child who wants to do what the big kids do, but dosn't quite have the ability. This board taught my son how to balance and now he is ready for a regular board. I also would like to add that the mechanism for raising and lowering the handle is pretty simple and easy, but it really has to be done by an adult.

Nice Birthday Present
I purchased this for my 5-year-old boy's birthday. His eyes lit up when he saw it! It has great traction, much safer than a skateboard, even when the handle is down. We leave the handle up most of the time and use it as a scooter. The only problem we've had is when he puts his foot on the ground to scoot along he has to reach his foot out past the wide wheel that gets in his way. This doesn't seem to bother him much, he still loves it! ... Read more

VERY SMALL
My brother bought this toy for my son for his 1st birthday, however he is above average height for his age. He loved and still till this day (he is 19 months now) loves it however it is way to small for him to ride.. He is like one of the other people had said that he just pushes it around now. I wish that I had read reviews before I had boughten this lil quad and gotten him a bigger power toy. Next time we go for the HUMMER H2, plenty on room in there.

Babys' first power ride on
I purchase the Lil'Guad for my grandson, now 16 months old. Durablity I really can't rate yet, for I only bought this about a week ago, but it seems it will last. Two things I feel could be improved on. One, the foot rest could be made a little larger, his feet are to big to fit on them. Two, The turn screw that holds the seat doesn't really sercure it down, it turned loose and my grandson could pick the seat right up when he was pushing it. What I did about this is; took fuel line used for remote control model motors and put a little piece on each nob and now it is secure.
I done research on power wheels and other brands. Other brand reviews were, on the hold, not good. for the product. That's why I picked power wheels.
At first my grandson didn't know what it really was, but as he learned, he loves it right now and rides it all around. I, at this time, plan on getting him a power wheels jeep for Christmas.
I thank these reviews for being here to help me deside on what would be best to buy.

Not worth it
My son received this for his 1st birthday from his grandma. I think the recommended age of 1 is too young. At 1yrs old, they understand alittle bit of cause and effect but not with a power wheels toy. By the time he understands how to ride it, he will probably be too big for it. I definetely would not have spent $80 for it. You'd be better off waiting until your child is 3yrs old and get a 4 x 4 power wheels that will grow them. They will get better use out of it.

unhappy with the little quad
Was a little dissapointed in this ride on. After one summer with little use, the power button that the children push to make it go, shorted out. My son just learned how to control the button, (that letting go makes it stop) and it shorted out, he let go and the four wheeler still drove, VERY scary for a almost 2 yr old. The seat does not stay on, it has a plastic screw that you unscrew to get the battery out, well that plastic screw doesn't stay screwed.

Wonderful Toy
I highly recommend this toy. I have two and half year old twins and they both love this toy. We purchased the toy when they were one the toy has never gotten old. ... Read more
