I had high hopes for this toy based on the reviews, so I bought it for my 15 month old son for Christmas. He loves all things car-related, so he was interested in the steering wheel and seemed to enjoy the noises and lights.

There were two major problems with this toy. First, there are two settings for volume, but both settings were equally loud (and I mean LOUD). This could just be a problem with our individual unit, but it was quite annoying.

Second, and more importantly, within 2 months this toy's audio gave out altogether. The lights still work, but there is no sound at all. Granted, it has taken a lot of abuse from two young children, but given that it is made for young kids I would have expected more durability.

Overall, I was very disappointed in the longevity of this product and would not recommend it for younger children who may be too rough with it, as it doesn't appear to be very durable. My children have lost interest in it since it stopped making noise, so for the short time they played with it, it was not worth the price.

My son got this gift from Santa when he was a little over one year old. Now he's a little over two years and still plays with this. We are a bilingual family and so need toys that are versatile, and this toy is very durable as well. I have no complaints and can see this toy will make it through at least a couple of kids and then some! A winner!

I got this for my 6 mo. old son and he just loves it!!! He's 11 mo. now and this toy means hours of fun and activities for him. For me, it's hours of torture. :( This thing is too loud even when it's set on low! :(

My son loves this toy! We got it for him when he was 4 months old and could only kick the buttons and chew on the key, and now that he's 10 months, he loves to pretend he's driving. He's pushed this toy off his highchair and out of his carseat several times and it hasn't broken at all. The rear-view mirror comes off and he's strong enough to take it off but he just likes to carry it around with him. Not necesarily made for the carseat, but you could put velcro on it and the carseat and attach it that way. Great toy!

I bought it for my daughter when she was about 10 months old. She refused to touch it after very first try. Then it got burried in her toybox. However, she start playing it more and more when she gets into 15 months. It becomes one of her favorites. The only 2 problems we have are that she wouldn't let the mirror stay on, and key slot was too shallow, sometimes it drives her crazy for not being able to put the key into slot properly.

This was supposed to be a Christmas present for my six month old son, but I ended up giving it to him early. He always wants to press buttons and bang on things and he really loves this toy. When I'm on the computer he's always trying to press all the buttons on the keyboard, and now I use this to distract him from what I'm doing. He's too young to understand anything that's being said but he likes that when he hits a button it makes a sound and he gets a big smile on his face. So far he hasn't gotten bored with it. It seems pretty durable with all the banging he likes to do on it with his hands and other toys, so I think it will last a long time. It also seems like it would be educational but he's still pretty young. I definitely would recommend this toy to other parents. My son loves it and it keeps him out of my hair for a while. It's great!

My daughter is almost one and she loves this toy. She loves to honk the horn and make the gear shift shout out numbers. And of course, look at herself in the mirror. And the toy is sturdy enough for her to toss around. We love it.

Great toy - my son LOVES it. He's a little young for it yet (he's 9 months old) but he likes to chew on the key and turn the wheel. It seems durable (I dropped it once & it didn't effect it at all). Very cute and fun toy!!

I was pretty excited to get this for my 20-month-old daughter. She really likes it. There are lots of bright buttons that make, yes, a lot of sound, but to me, it is worth it. I like that there is both Spanish and English, as our world is becoming more and more bi/multilingual. This toy has been thrown a few times, no marks or anything so far. I also like that there are no detached pieces, so it's an easy toy to pull out and put back for whatever reason.

I may change this review as this is used more but I just received this for my nephew and i played with it myself for a full 5 minutes!! It seems like so much fun. You even have a turning signal that blinks left and right, gas pedal, break... etc. All these with real car sounds. I'm happy with my purchase, I hope my nephew is too.
