National Products 12V Surfer Girl Battery Operated Ride-on

Very sturdy and well built for the price. My granddaughters loved it!
Lots of work putting it together but probably not much different than most ride ons.
They have only used it indoors due to weather conditions, but can't wait to get it outside and cruise! Large enough to hold my 5 year old and 2 year old granddaughters.
I am happy with my purchase.

This product seems very well made and my son loves it. Assembly took some time, but the instructions were decent.

Little Tikes Deluxe Ride and Relax Wagon with Umbrella

We really love this wagon! The manufacturor really thought of everything to make this wagon fun and useful. As other reviewers have noted the instructions were a bit difficult to follow but it did include information to go online for an instructional video which we did not watch. The wagon seems very sturdy once we put it together and I had no trouble with the steering or pulling of the wagon. The most important part is that my 18 month old LOVES it. She loves to be pulled around in it, she loves to crawl up and sit in it when it is converted to a bench seat and the wagon is huge so she has lots of room for all her stuffed animals! I would definitely recomend this wagon.

Kettler Cat Front Loader and Backhoe

watching your child lose their mind playing with it will be worth it.

The directions are marginal at best and would benefit greatly from some written directions and labeling the bags and parts. I am very experienced at building RC cars and helicopters and I had to keep referring to the drawings to make sure I wasn't doing it wrong.

The rear stabilizer (under the excavator seat) could be sturdier and easier to deploy, but neither seem to be a problem for our son who is going on three. It would be nice if the locks for the front end loader portion could be engaged with one hand, but it doesn't seem to take away from his enjoyment.

I do recommend this product, just make sure you have enough room to store it and patience to assemble it. (hint: some of the stickers are large and very thin in order to make the curves, spray a little mild detergent diluted with water to make positioning them easier)

Power Wheels Kawasaki Brute Force Camo

Got this for my 3 year old. He loves it! Battery lasts a long time. I have found that when charging batteries, you cant let them charge longer than the suggested amount of time. It does seem to effect the life length of the battery. I got an extra one so that we have a back up after all day rides... ; )

InStep Police Pedal Car

I am currently a police officer in Indiana. I was just torn on gift ideas for my three-year-old son. I really wanted to get him something truly special that he could pass down to his own children someday. I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this car, but it was indeed a must have item for me. I was blown away by the quality and detail this police pedal car had. It has by far superseded my expectations. My son absolutely loves his police cruiser. What an EPIC gift for any young boy or girl.

InStep Pink Lady Pedal Car

This car did require some assembly but every minute was worth it. My 3 year old wants to eat and sleep in her car. I absolutely love it. The look on her face when she drives is priceless. Not too mention all the compliments she gets when she drives. Every penny was worth it!!!!

Power Wheels Hot Wheels KFX

WOWZA! was the response of my 4yr old upon receiving this 4-wheeler. It's big, big like tip it on its side to get out the door because the wheels won't fit through the frame big. Much larger than the $75 one you can pick up at a super center. With the "bigness" established it's also pretty fast, 5 mph, which is achieved by turning the grip, like a real 4-wheeler. How awesome is that? According to a 4yr old...very awesome. It also seems pretty stable, it was ridden on some awkward hills and all four wheels stayed planted although one hubcap did fall off, it snaps right back on if you're not into that rugged bolt look.
On the assembly side it was pretty easy, one suggestion not in the manual..a wire runs from the handle bars and connects under the seat, make sure you have that wire fished out and attached before screwing the handle bars in place.. big pain if its not. One last tid bit..after charging the battery for the recommended 18 hours there was clear gooey stuff on the contacts of the charger and battery, called Hot Wheels and they said no worries, its a food grade lubricant used to stop corrosion on the contacts.

Huffy Green Machine

I purchased this toy for my 12 year old son. I do have to say myself that this toy is quite alot fun. I have enjoyed it myself. I would not recommend this to a child under 8 as the manufacturer states because it can throw you off really easy if you are not coordinated. This toy brought back alot of memories for me from my childhood when I had the old Big Wheel with the pull handle so you could spin out. Wonderful Product and I highly recommend it for your children and yourself as well. It is really alot of fun.

Power Wheels Dora the Explorer Jeep Wrangler

I bought this for my neice and she absolutely loves it! The assembly was easy (primarily b/c my brother did it), but he had no issues with it.
Please note that the battery does come with the jeep, I wasn't aware of that and purchased a battery and charger, only to discover I now had two batteries and batteries are non-returnable. Other than that, love the jeep!

Razor Dirt Quad Electric Four-Wheeled Off-Road Vehicle (Red)

I've seen my share of wheeled toys, and was positively impressed with the quality of this product. It has a solid frame, suspension, regular inflated tires. I'm not afraid that after a few days of use it will break, given the rough use it will get of kids at that age. I took it for a short test drive myself, and the motor was strong enough to move and adult uphill.

The shipping takes a bit longer and you have to be home to receive it. But it takes 2 people to lift the crate it comes in, so home delivery is worth the convenience.

I think the only design change I'd like to see is a reverse mode. The motor control only allows forward, which if you have to turn-around in a tight space can be tricky. But that's a minor issue overall.

Update (5/28): This ATV has seen a lot of use in the last few weeks, including many sliding wheel stunts, etc. After one particularly heavy right it stopped working with a blown fuse and control box. The one thing which is quite helpful is that Razor will actually sell repair parts for reasonable prices on their website, more than can be said about many other products. So if it does break, it's not necessarily doomed for the trash pile.

Kettler CAT Digger

I got this as a birthday present for my girlfriend's son for his 5th birthday. he went gaga over it, and used it constantly in the sand box. It is fairly sturdy and easy to use. It hold a decent amount of weight. I could sit on it and I'm 175lbs and it held up. It's a great toy!

Peg Perego John Deere Ground Force Tractor with Trailer

I gave this tractor to my 2 year 2 month old son for Christmas 2011. It was easy to assemble and looked great when complete. My boy loves it. His 5 year old sister loves it. His 8 year old step sister loves it. The radio is multi frequency for many different stations. The low gear is plenty fast, but he loves to drive it in high gear and bounce across the yard. Its very durable considering the stress it has indured for the month we have owned it. I weigh 210lbs and the wagon and tractor holds me with correct balance :) The only thing wrong so far is front fender is cracked and rubs tire, but that is certainly from the kids crashing the other ride ons into it and not manufactuer defect. Overall superb toy for the money.

Step 2 Up & Down Roller Coaster

I work at a day care center and all the kids I watch love this track. They giggle when the ride ends and the are still coasting on the wood floor. One of the more easy toys to put together. I also like that you can use the car to ride on without the track. Great item for all kids under 80ish lbs.

Little Tikes Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary Car

I was worried when I read all the reviews about a difficult assembly. When we actually assembled it, it went fairly quickly and easily. It certainly didn't take two hours. I can only assume that the other folks are not "assembly types". The 18 month old boy loves it. He actually sits in while watching TV. Anything that pleases a toddler this much is just plain luck. Great toy, safe, etc..

Radio Flyer 12S Classic Walker Wagon

Highly recommended, and here's why:

My son got this wagon for his first birthday. He could already walk, but it is still has become one of his very favorite toys. From day one he has been practicing climbing in and out of it (with the sides up, but he's tall). Since the wheels don't turn super-easily, I don't have to worry about it sliding out from under him while he does it (especially on carpet).

Once my son is sitting inside, he sits down and we wheel him around the house (the faster the better). When little friends come over, they also take turns pushing each other. This is very cute and apparently so fun that they often all try to climb in at once (we've fit up to a large 18-month-old in the basket, but that's about its limit). Usually, at least once a day, I find him sitting in the walker waiting to be pushed in circles around the house. My son also pushes stuffed animals around, but the corners are hard to turn, so I do have to follow him.

This is also a very sturdy toy; we will be able to pass it down to my son's children. Because toddlers can also ride in it, this is the very best walker I've seen and my son certainly loves it. If you do push your child around in it, be prepared to do it a lot (he or she will love it). And, since the handle is quite low (it's built for a toddler, after all), it's hard on an adult's back.
