1.0 out of 5 stars Hazard -- arms snapped off, February 7, 2009

This product is seriously defective. Earlier this morning my son was riding his fropper in front of me and my husband. When he leaned back to turn, both of the steering handles snapped off simultaneously. He flew backwards and landed on his head with both handles still in his hands. On top of it all, the plastic edges on the broken handles are very, very sharp.

My son is 21 months and about 28 lbs -- well in the weight range for this toy, which he loved. Thankfully he wasn't riding it on a harder surface -- he could have been seriously hurt.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Funky Fropper, April 21, 2008

When I first saw this toy I knew I...I mean my little boy...had to have it. Bright, colorful and fairly well made, he loved it at first sight and in the month or so that he has had it, it is the only riding toy he plays with. He rides on it. He pulls it. He pushes it. The metal pin that holds one of the front legs in place got loose early on. I'm not sure if a bigger kid did it trying to ride the toy or what happened but it has not affected the performance of the toy. What's important is that this is one fun toy.

I bought this for my 2-and-a-half-year-old son who loves ride-on toys as well as bouncing. He was just weighed at the doctor's office earlier this week and he weighs 40 lbs. The weight limit indicates up to 55 lbs. He was thrilled to get it and loved riding it around the house. However after about an hour he started bouncing on it and it made a loud cracking sound. Then the entire seat snapped right in half! My son fell backward onto the wood floor. I had to box it up to send it back, explaining to my son that it was broken and he couldn't ride it anymore. This is an expensive toy to be made so flimsy. I bought the Scuttle Bug Razor scooter for him last year and that still held up...he loves that toy and it's much cheaper!
