I purchased this for my two-year-old grandson as a Christmas gift. He absolutely loves ride-on toys, but is not quite coordinated enough for pedals yet, so the hand-operated propulsion of this toy enables him to go without using his feet. My youngest son had a similar item years ago, a "plasma car", and by comparison I feel that this item is not quite as well-made or sturdy as the Canadian-made one that my son had in years past, but it is decent. Assembly is easy & I was able to ride it myself without breaking it, so that is a bonus :) This one was much cheaper than the one I had purchased in the past, so for the price, it is a good value.
