My daughter got this for her 1st birthday. It's adorable! I knew the assembly would be somewhat involved from reading the other reviews. It wasn't too bad, really. I guess after 4 kids I'm used to assembling kid stuff (I've spent many Christmas Eves up way too late putting stuff together) Mine also came with a cracked trunk lid, mane that would not line up and missing axle caps. Little Tikes was great at sending out the pieces ASAP. So for the good
-It's cute
-It can be a wagon or a foot-to-floor ride on
-It has rubber coated wheels instead of those horrible all plastic wheels that most wagons come with. It ends up being much more quiet on the cement.
-It's easy to pull or to push from the handle.
-My 4 year old could manipulate it as a foot-to-floor much easier than our Step 2 foot-to-floor which never seemed to go straight. I can't even push that because it frustrated me.
-Has a cup holder for the child (although my daughters favorite sippy with the handle would not fit.) We should have no problem getting some that will.
-Did I mention that it's adorable? I've had so many comments about how adorable it is and how they've never seen anything like that before.
The not so great
-I was pretty disappointed in the "clip clop" box. I can sort of hear it if it's quiet (which doesn't really happen when you've got a bunch of kids playing) I'm not sure what I was expecting. A battery operated sound box would be 1000 times better. Considering most kid toy volume levels are outrageously loud, it shouldn't have been too hard to incorporate something similar and more suitable.
-The yellow on the reins isn't as nice as it shows in the stock pics.
-The parent tray isn't very deep. I doubt I'd trust my stuff to stay in there. A parent cup holder would have been nice, too.
-The floor board needs to be recessed a few inches, at least. It's fine now for my 18lb 12 month old but I can see the leg room disappearing fast. My 4 year old and 7 year old did fit inside for rides, although it looked silly because of how squished they were. (Still it was easy to pull, which is great)
-The center of gravity seems a bit high. I get nervous about tipping when my boys pull it over uneven ground.
I would buy it again for the cute factor but I would be much more impressed and happy with it if they improved it. I also realize that a lot of companies make their prototypes/stock pics look better than the actual product but I wish Little Tikes wouldn't.

The hardest part about putting assemblying it was lining up all the stickers and trying to fit the two prices of the horse's mane together. There is a little gap in our horse's mane still, despite trying to get it to fit together. I worry it'll pinch her skin, scratch her if she falls on it, or collect water inside if it ever rains on a walk. Our door has also popped off once, but it was easy to put back on. I took off one star because I wish it was a little more well made.
Amazon has the cheapest price I've seen for this item as well. We've been looking at getting this for a few months and have compared prices from other stores in our area, too.

This was the highlight of our baby girl's first Christmas! Her older brothers and us have pulled her all over the house in this since opening it. It's very sweet for a little princess.By Lo Frenzel on December 26, 2017

Daughter loves it, but frustrating assembly process
By Tiffany Robertson on March 1, 2017
My daughter loves this carriage. It's super cute, and she can play with it inside or outside. Right now she has her toys in there, and she pushes it around the house. Love that there's a cupholder, and she does too. Would have given this product 5 stars, but assembly was AWFUL! It took my husband over 2 hours to put this thing together. The instructions are garbage, and jump around to different steps. There was no piece that said how many of each part should have been included. The horse doesn't make the galloping noise it's supposed to either. Clearly this doesn't and likely won't matter to a toddler, but it should still work. I'm sure my daughter will play with this for a while. She's 3, and she plays with more than the little cozy coupe car we got her. It's a great play toy for young toddlers, but just be prepared for a lengthy and frustrating assembly process. I mean we've put things together from IKEA quicker than this carriage.
