I had one of these as a child, I remember having so much fun on it. I decided to get my child one so he could experience the same. The toy I remembered moved forward when you bounced on it, as you bounced it also made a noise that I can only describe as 'a playing card in the bicycle spokes' sound.
This toy does not move forward, nor does it make sounds. Up and down are the only things it contributes to playtime. My 18 month old likes it every now and then to bounce on, but other than that he still prefers the push truck, complete with noise for $[...] at Wal-Mart.

My toddler loves this toy. When I saw this toy, I couldn't resist becuase I played with this toy when I was a kid! Built well, not your typical boring ride-on toy. My boy loves the bouncing motion and talks to it like he's a friend. Very cute.

As others have stated, it's amazing that they took out the ratchet-drive feature. They even left in the square axles and the sockets they sit in, but they freespin. Not only did they make the toy uglier than the original, but they neutered it and made it go nowhere fast.

Methinks the lawyers or the beancounters got involved at the last minute and took out the only thing that made this toy worthwhile. Did they think they made it "safer"??? My kids didn't find it interesting at all.

Very disappointed.

This is an absolutely HORRIBLE toy. I bought it for my 2 girls for Christmas and they both HATED it. The first time the toddler got on it, she fell off immediately and got hurt. She tried again later while I guarded her, and again, off she went. My older daughter (3) couldn't make it bounce, roll or do anything exciting and got off it immediately never to get back on. As well as boring, I think it is incredibly unsafe ... the "handle" is not really a handle and therefore there is nothing substantial to hold onto. Don't be lured in by sweet childhood memories of yesteryear. They took a good product and totally DESTROYED it. Buyer beware ... don't put your child's safety in jeoperdy!

This was a useless toy and not worth donating because it is too hard for child to use! The toy has no place for the child to hold on therefore small children cannot use it AT ALL! My granddaughter actually told me to throw it away (age3). Don't waste your money on this one.

This little worm didn't work well for my special needs son. He freaked out when I put him on it. The saddle-style seat with built in hand grip is ackward to say the least. It is so low and the plastic is not smooth, so my child didn't want to hold on. He basically threw himself backwards when I put him on this. I am glad I was holding onto him the entire time. I sold it on craigslist. It just didn't seem safe. Also, my child's feet barely touched the ground with this and he is 32" tall. No good! There isn't even a way to make it bounce. You have to have 100lbs pushing down on it to get it to move!

I got this toy a over a year ago (maybe even two???? they had just came back out). I have three boys 18 months,3 years, and 4 years and NONE of them will play with this. I have shown them many times how it bounces and have put them on it but.... Houston... we have a problem. The toy has changed and does not go forward as it did in the days that I played with it (not THAT long ago). I still keep hoping that one of my boys may start to use it. I couldn't rate the durability on this toy accurately as it has seen no use. It just sits there.

Don't bother with this one. I feel it has been a waste of my money

I got this for my daughter for Christmas, and I bought it because it was on sale for $12 at Amazon and thought she'd like it. She has not used it since I tried to put her on it. She's average height, and she could barely touch the ground. She didn't like it at all. I'm going to try her on it again sometime, but if I had paid the $29.99 or $39.99 that some of the stores were selling it for, I would have been mad.

As the other review states, this version doesn't really move forward as the child bounces, and I agree that I miss the sound! However, my 2 year old loves bouncing on it and scooting around. It seems well-built and sturdy. The handle seemed ackward at first (it's just the top of the saddle) but my child seems to hold onto it o.k. Overall, a cute fun toy with a bit of nostalgia for the parents!

I do not care for this toy! My son flipped over the top of it when it hit a rise in the sidewalk and needed 17 stitches in his tongue. Up until then, he had a lot of fun on it--but there are many other similar ride-on toys which wouldn't have caused him to flip because the child sits below the front end.
Sorry, Hasbro, this toy needs to go!
