We bought this item for our granddaughter's 3rd birthday. It is easy to learn to drive for a 3 year old. She gives her 1 year old brother rides in it, and he sits still while his big sister drives. She has pretty much mastered the stearing. The radio is great too. It comes in clear, and has the ability to scan for stations. It has velcro, pretend, seatbelts which is a fantastic learning tool. The children know they can't drive/ride in it until the seatbelts are fastened. Everything works wonderfully. We have a large, grassy, yard. It has a lot of bumps in it, and the Barbie Jammin' Jeep has no problems moving about in it. I highly recommend this product, especially for a 3 year old. We are undecided who has more fun...the children driving/riding in it, or the grandparents watching it.

I bought this for 3 year old Olivia....it was her 3rd birthday.

The Jeep took me 2 1/2 hours to but together......as I put it together I could see that this is a solid and tough toy!!

The only thing that is wrong with this Jeep... the plastic tires....They have a tough time getting any traction on other than smooth surfaces.

I went on ebay and bought the traction grips for the Power Wheel line......what u get is a old sliced rubber tire tube, that u stretch over the plastic tires of the Barbie Jeep. THEN THE JEEP WILL CLIMB A MOUNTAIN!!!!

Buy this Jeep!!!! But add some sort of rubber to the slick plastic tires!!...

My daughter was very excited to get this from "Santa," my son also for that matter. Unfortunately when we took the jeep outside for the first time it definately had some difficulty going up small hills that did not have a steap grade by any means. It made a grinding noise as if the gears were stripped. We are in the process of sending the jeep back and plan to buy another. I don't know if it was just one of those things and we received a bad one or not. We will definately try again because my kids definately loved the toy. Our daughter is 4 and our son is 18 months. Both enjoyed riding, listening to the music and just sitting in it watching TV on Christmas day. I have had other ride ons from this manuafacturer and have not had any trouble so I think it was just a fluke that this happened and once we get a replacement things will be great!

This is a tough toy. My daughter (age 3 upon receiving the jeep and almost age 4 now) and her friends have driven this thing through ditches and into trees and sheds. The jeep happily keeps on going as if nothing happened.
Now remember that there is the option to increase the speed from 2.5 miles per hour to 5 mph. If you thought that the 2.5mph speed was pretty quick, wait until you see the 5mph! All I have to say is that you better have a pretty large yard and no traffic around, because you have to sprint full out to catch up while your 3 year old is laughing at you. We have had some good times with this jeep and I would recommend it to anyone with a 3.5 or 4 year old.
The only negatives: the radio wouldn't turn off so we just let the battery's run out and said that it was broken.
-We live on a dirt lot and if there is an incline, the tires just spin out because they are smooth plastic. (The rubber add-ons sound like a good idea).

Have fun

My 4 year old daughter likes her jeep. She was a little scared to drive it at first, but after a few days of help from daddy, she was on her way to 4 wheeling heaven. Be careful not to take driveway curbs too fast...my daughter did and the battery cable came off.

We purchased this car about 6 months ago and my 3 year old loves it. We paid a little extra and picked it up pre-built. I have made a list of Pro's and Con's below

Pro's:
- It's very Durable
- Works on the grass, gravel, snow and dirt very well
- Very easy to use
- With the fast charger it can be ready to go in under 2 hrs.
- The radio is another great added feature
- Easy to clean up any spills, food or anything else
- The battery is easy to remove for winter storage

Con's
- It sometimes has problems climbing hills on the grass but I don't think any other cars like this could climb it anyway.

In all it's a great toy and I would suggest one of these to any fun loving kid.

Bought this jeep for granddaughter (age 3). The design and the radio attracted me. She loves it!!! She was 2 1/2 when purchased so her stearing wasn't up to par, but we just kick the tires to where we want her to go and she's off and running.

I can also attest to its durability since the neighborhood "older" kids love it also. It has survived many bumps and bruises as my g.daughter drives it around the cul de sac from "curb to curb" if ya know what it mean. The double seat allows Mia to share the fun with friends also.

A neighbor toddler loved it so much... her gramma bought her one also.

I believe that this is the only jeep/car with a radio that is very clear and so easy to tune a 2 year old is able to do it!

Sincerely and satisfactorily!!!!

This is great, the kids love it, and then you read all the warnings. You can't get it wet period. I was hoping the mechanical would be aleast semi corrosive resistant, but not so much.

Works great and for the look on my daughters face I would still buy it again.

Very happy with this product. A little duct tape on the wheels and it goes just about anywhere. You can get black duct tape too if the silver takes away from the look of the jeep. Our 4 yr old drives around the 2 yr old and they have a blast. It even survived a 4 day camping trip in the woods with 5 toddlers breaking it in! Highly recommended!!

We bought this as a Christmas gift for our 2 and 4 year old daughters last year and they loved it then and still love it now! We kept it in the lower gear for a while till the older one learned about steering and then let her run in the higher gear. Boy does it go fast! The younger one loves being a passenger and now that the oldest has figured out reverse, she can pretty much do it all. While the younger one loves the working radio. This toy also reinforces the safety of seatbelts for them both. Easily their favorite outdoors toy!! And it is fun for my husband and myself to watch them zooming along feeling like such big girls in their own car. Great purchase!
