This is a great toy for imagination and made with recycled materials and no batteries. Just awseome. I got the rally racer too.

My son loves all things that go. Toys for him are only those with wheels or self propel. We love the Sprig line and all that it encompasses. We have fondled the packages in Toys R Us many times over the past few years waiting for him to be old enough to really start playing with them. We opted for Christmas to get him this vehicle.

I had no idea what to expect from its function, having skimmed over the description. When I found out that the manual pumping triggers the light, I was thrilled. No batteries, no noises, no incessant blinking. The more he plays with it, the more it lights up. PERFECT!

The car feels sturdy, it even smells good! After struggling to open and dismantle a train package and those Littlest Pet Shop toys, to simply open a box, flatten it and recycle it was truly freeing.

I think this one will be in our collection for a long while.

We love this toy! My son and I can spend an hour playing with this! He loves the concept of being able to make the light get brighter just by pumping the back of the vehicle. I know this sounds crazy, but I love the smell of it, too! You can really tell that it's made of recycled wood! I will definitely buy the other two vehicles for more kid-powered fun.

Cool idea about the recycled material - but the advertising is very misleading. These "Side Kick" vehicles (Baja Scout and one other one) only have a little light on the driver's helmet - there is NO SOUND. The packaging on the box has this blurb: "G'day little partner! My name is Miki Flinders. Join me on an Outback adventure, listen to the didgeridoo, hear the wild animals of Australia including crocodiles...." So of course I think that is what the vehicle/driver do. But it's only the "Discover Rig" that includes audio capacity. Just be sure you realize that before you buy.

The vehicle is cute and fun but I feel totally ripped off - I bought two of these so was doubly disappointed.

This was purchased to stop the fighting over the BIG Sprig. Very nice. Having not seen this, I would afraid it would be too bulky to push, but that isn't the case at all.

I mistakenly thought the car would move when you pressed the back down and let go. After receiving the car, I reread the description and it doesn't say it will move by itself. My mistake. Just be sure you understand what the car does and does not do before you order.
