I purchased this for my son (who LOVES cars) for his 2nd birthday! I was a little bit hesitant because it is made from plastic, and being an eco-friendly family, we buy mostly wood toys. The design also made me a bit cautious because it looked like it might be easy to break parts of, considering the plastic aspect. I bought it anyways because the other item I was considering was the Recycle Truck and it was a few dollars more and doesn't light up kinetically. Here are the main points I'd like to share:

1. I smells wonderful because it is a wood-recycled plastic blend and the wood scent sticks with it!

2. It is durable and hardy, our son has stepped on it, thrown it, raced it into walls, and the thing is semi-flexible so it does not break.

3. It comes with a little person that isn't shown in the photo but he plugs into the driver seat so when you push up and down on the back of the car, it kinetically charges a light on his little hat and lights up! The kids LOVE this and it has a lot of educational value in it to explain energy plus cause & effect!

4. It is easy to grasp and is large sized for little hands!

5. The wheels are non-marking - perfect for our wood floors!

6. The kids LOVE it...our 2 year old and 3-1/2 year old both play with it and REALLY enjoy it.

7. It races pretty far with one push, the angled wheels help it to glide across carpet and hardfloors.

I'd DEFINITELY buy from this company again, and I'd buy this car as a gift for any kids who like vehicles! I did a lot of research and it does not contain many of the dangerous chemicals most plastic (and even metal) toys do. What better way to make use out of old milk jugs than to make toys~!!

I gave this to my 2 1/2 year old nephew for Christmas, and not only did HE love it, but his eco-minded parents did, too! He drives it everywhere, and loves to make his flashlight person (whom he lovingly named "mimi" after his grandma) light up. It's a great, imagination stirring, sturdy toy that is also friendly to the environment!
