We bought this pedal car for our 5 year old son. He loves it!!!! The only problem is that it's a little short for him and it's on the last adjustment for the seat. Our son is probably shorter than average so make sure you buy for your kid when they are 3 not 5. He doesn't care but I can tell the life of the car with him will not be as long as I had hoped. Awesome car though and he likes that he can pedal forward or backward like a "real" car. Fun fun fun. I highly recommend it.

My daughter got this one for Christmas. She wanted this one in particular so Santa Claus brought it for her. It is lightweight so it's very easy for her to peddle and steer. She is on the small side for her age (she's 5 and weighs about 40 lbs) but she has no problem peddling this car (she can even pick it up to turn it around). We have the larger one for our 10 year old and it is very heavy (too heavy to pick up and turn around). Our son doesn't ride the big one too much so our daughter will have one to move up into when she outgrows the little one! I got it quite a bit cheaper through a different company.

Got a kettler CAT front loader and a Classic Flyer for my grandchildren who were coming to visit. While either grandchild could use either one, I bought the front loader with my 3 year old grand son in mind and the Classic Flyer with my 6 year old grand daughter in mind. As expected, both grand son and grand daughter went for the front loader first - it just looks neat with functioning bucket and trailer car. It only took a few minutes, though for the 6 year old girl to switch to the classic flyer - it was just faster, sleeker, and fit her better. My 3 year old grand son worked with the front loader for a bit longer but in the end, even he found it a bit too small, and very slow. So, they both wanted to use the kettcar classic flyer and neither wanted to bother with the slow and a bit difficult to use front loader. The Classic Flyer was easy to assemble, took me maybe 45 minutes (assembly time probably shorter than that but getting tools, reading instructions, checking contents of bag, etc, overall took about 45 minutes). The Kettler Kettcar American Flyer is great fun - you can go pretty fast, skid around corners, and generally have daring fun with the car. I think much over 7 and it will be too small, even though the seat adjusts. Much less than a pretty advanced 3 and the concept of a breakhandle, peddles to go, and a steering wheel to turn might be a bit much. Overall, I liked the Classic Flyer better than the front loader, even though, as a grandpa, my heart was with the CAT front loader.

My son loves his Kettcar! We bought this for our son's 4th birthday and he loves it! Even his cousin, who is 10, rides the Kettcar when he comes to visit. Sweet ride!

I bought this for my 3 year old boy, he loves it. It came in almost assembled. Not a big deal to put together. Good deal for the price.

Got this for my Sons 3rd birthday and he absolutely loves this peddle car. He zooms around the house and playground like a pro. I would buy it again and think its a great product with a few minor quirks.

Pro:
- tons of fun
- solid construction
- all the other kids wish they had one

Improvements I would have liked:
- put a freewheel in (would have allowed your kid to keep his feet on the peddles while he is coasting or being pulled up a hill) Some models have a shifter that disengages the Gear to coast freely but that requires shifting and older kids, 5 and up to grasp the concept. I will probably put a freewheel on my self and make this a perfect peddle car.

Santa gave this to our 4yr. old grandson and he was out on it that afternoon. He loves it, it was a great purchase and was here in 3 days from ordering.

The only problem we had was that this present was opened first! Easy to put together and was her favorite Christmas present. I can't believe the price on such a good product. I highly recommend it. My daughter is 4 and fits perfectly.

We enjoy this car! We have had it for over a month and my 3 year old son loves it. He is taller than average and fits in it great (on one of the smaller settings). He did not know how to pedal before this car, but quickly figured it out and now pedals even on his little bike. He loves the steering action and likes to drive on roads we draw on the driveway with sidewalk chalk. My 8 year old daughter enjoys it too (she's a little big for it lengthwise when it is on the largest setting but she can still pedal it#. All our neighbor kids take turns on it even though they are 10-12 year olds, #they are under the weight limit). We are very happy with it and highly recommend it.

- well built
- good design / stable
- my 4 and 7 year old love it
- fairly safe even going down hill
- definitely deserves the 5 star rating
