Product Description

Amazon.com

Younger toddlers may not be able to handle big ride-ons, but this one was made with very short legs in mind. The scooter-shaped rider (raised handle bars, wide seat, and storage below for Teddy) is only 9 inches high; just right for tikes who can't ride trikes. Large, wide plastic wheels support the lightweight frame, which makes it a good support for wobbly walkers and pushers, or those less than 3 years of age. The cool factor: the handlebar-dashboard has a lever for blinking signal lights, a faint horn, and an ignition button that makes realistic "motor" sounds. Parental assembly, and 3 AAA batteries, required. Diane Beall

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Bummed Out!, February 1, 2004

This is a great concept. I thought my two year old would enjoy riding a scooter like her big sister and the picture looked very durable. However after assembling this toy we were bummed out, the parts are really much thinner plastic than I thought. The wheels are TERRIBLE, they have no traction at all and do not roll very easily. My 4 year old can hardly get this thing to roll, the wheels sort of rub on the sides of the toy. It is the way it is made. Anyway my two year old just opened this two hours ago for her Birthday and we are heading to toys r us today to return this item. I don't think I have ever written a review or returned a toy. I am really pretty easy to please but this is bad enough I had to share. When we asked my two year old if she wanted to try it again she said "no sank you" and went to play with her old toys. I will be interested to read more reviews on this in the future.

2.0 out of 5 stars not pleased, July 22, 2004

This review is from: Scooter (Toy)

I bought this toy for my daughter for Christmas when she was a little over a year old. She is now 19 months. She got on it a few times but it was too hard for her to push around and got bored unless I pushed her on it.The music box never stays on it for very long because it falls off too easily. The wheels have no traction and when she is old enough to get the concept of a scooter I think she will be too big for it. I bought a trike from Costco for $15 and she has more fun with that.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wheels will turn...., November 6, 2004

I have read all of the reviews saying that the toy does not work. When we first put it together, we thought the same thing, but all you have to do is push the wheels on all the way (it takes a good deal of strength!). Once you do, it rolls just fine.
