noneMy son was a little over 3 when I bought him this fire engine. He's fascinated by firemen and fire trucks, and I figured he'd really like this toy. It was a hit initially. He had a tough time pedaling it, so he sat in it and played with it regularly for the first week or two. I had hoped at as got got older and bigger he'd have an easier time but it's been a few months and not so much yet. I should mention that my son is very small for his age -- 36" and only about 29 lbs. He does ride a tricycle competently, but this vehicle is a little too heavy at this point and the pedaling motion is a little awkward for him.. He still loves it -- probably one of his favorite possessions. Hopefully in another few months he'll be able to pedal it around more.The truck itself is gorgeous and bomb proof. This is definitely not a Fisher Price object. It's beefy with lots of sharp edges, which is fine -- plenty of children survived the 50's/60's when these cars were the rage. Yea, it takes some time to put together, but as long as you're comfortable handling tools and a little patient you'll be fine. I saw another reviewer suggest they sell these more preassemebled -- I'd rather keep the price low and deliver it as it is now. Frankly, you could probably drop it buy a hoppy shop or even a local bike shop and they'd handle assembly for a reasonable price.Ultimately, I think this will be one of those toys that sticks around our house forever and hopefully gets passed down to our grandchildren one day.I purchased both the Firetruck and the Police Car for my 2 year old and 5 year old for Christmas last year. I waited to review to give it a fair review. I was not able to assemble it it myself but my husband assembled it in no time. Once assembled they lit up the room. These are precious items! The look great and the colors are so vibrant. I love the way they look. I really liked the fact that the kids could pedal them and I wouldn't have to deal with charging them as needed. I lost the cable to one of the power wheels and the other power wheel, the battery stopped charging. This alone sold me on getting them.My 5 year old was able to ride it easy! He loved them! He liked going around the kitchen ringing the bell! It's now a tight squeeze for him to get in and out of the cars. My two year old, now 3 year old is still not able to reach the petals. By the time he reached the petals he will not fit into them, as he's on the larger size.The cons are, once the cars were assembled the tires smelled really bad! I had to leave them outside for weeks before the smell went away. That meant they had to sit outside for weeks and these cars are not meant to be outdoors. Also the ladder does not secure onto the fire truck to keep the small children from getting them. I just removed the ladders as my 1 year old kept pulling them out and I was worried she'd get hurt. My biggest issue was when one of the metals for the pedals completely came off. This is metal and it was just sticking out and I was so worried that my kids would get hurt, so I had to retire it.These are beautiful pieces to adorn your Christmas Tree or Nursery Room. The kids rode them and got great use out of it during the summer but the Firetruck did not last even a year and that is why I gave it 3 stars.Excellent product for a toddlerThis car wasn't hard to put together, just time consuming. It looks great and my grandson loves it. My only complaint is the ladders will not stay on and there's nothing to secure them. We just took them off for him to play in the car. Also, the bell gets stuck and won't ring consecutively. We were able to work with it some but it's a design flaw. Everything else is great for the money! I posted an image of our not quite 2 year old grandson in his car. As soon as he opened his other presents he began loading them up in the back of the car. Too cute!I have purchased this pedal car twice now, and built them both almost to completion. The first (not purchased through Amazon) had a manufacturing defect in the drive mechanism that made the pedals bind so badly that a child could not pedal the car. I contacted the manufacturer as the original instructions recommend, but the manufacturer would not honor the warranty because the seller was not a certified retailer. I had to disassemble, repack and return for refund. The seller was very helpful, but the manufacturer wasn't at all.The second purchase (through Amazon) had no manufacturing defect, but was missing one part. So here I am, a month after my initial purchase, and I still don't have a completed product. I think overall, the quality of the product is good. It looks nice, and is solid when built. I'm just frustrated by the manufacturer's quality and packaging control. As far as I can tell, both products were in original packaging and showed no evidence of having been previously built, used or otherwise damaged and returned.I bought this for my 3 year old's birthday. He was so excited to see it. Alas that didn't last once he tried to ride it. This toy is super solid and made of steel. But there is a reason most companies don't do that any more, and it's because of the weight. This thing weighs 40 pounds! That's more than my son. How would you like to pedal around something like this that weighs more than you do? And the pedals don't work like bicycle pedals. They don't go in a circle but much more in a back and forth motion. So the pedaling is a different skill for your child to master before they can really enjoy it. It takes skill to use the pedals so you go forward rather than backward, for instance. My son prefers to walk it Flintstone style, but the seat is too low to the ground to really allow this. And forget about having a bigger child use it. My 6 year old (who is tall, over 4 feet) can't even get in it. So at the end of the day I'm really impressed with the appearance of this, but from a practical standpoint, it's a lot of money to blow on a toy that my son has played with three times I think in the month since we bought this. He LOVES fire trucks, just not this one.Este carrito de pedales cumple con las expectativas de contar con un vehículo clásico de metal, con diseño de carro de bomberos, incluyendo un par de escalerillas de madera desmontables. Se lleva un tiempo el ensamble. Lo malo es que en la caja de embalaje faltó la bolsa de herramientas mencionadas en el instructivo. Con este carrito, espero que mi niño disfrute el juego a la vez que se ejercite pedaleando. La entrega del paquete por parte de Amazon fue muy eficiente, entregado antes de la fecha programada. Ampliamente recomendable la compra del juguete en Amazon!!Es mucho más grande de lo que pensábamos y tiene una pequeña cajuela que le gusta a mi hija, los materiales y acabados muy bien, recomendableNo le veo ningún problema, si bien es un vehículo pesado en comparación con otros juguetes de esta época, quería que mi hijo se divierta mucho en el y lo conserve por muchos años.Excelente producto, fue muy buena compra para mi hija, me remonta a mis dias de infancia, el material y los acabdos son excelentes.Es un buen regalo, de buenos materiales, está bien construido, pienso que aguantará para varias generaciones, lo recomiendo.
