***UPDATE 10-2013
I have to mention that the battery for
this has a very long life. We don't use it for long periods but it has
been used quite a bit and it has needed charging only once in many, many
months. A pleasant surprise in my book!***
Although this jeep is designed for children ages 3-5, my 7 year old has wanted one for a long time so the opportunity to get one to review was too good to pass up.
We assembled it (about 30 minutes from start to finish) and charged the battery (18 hours for the first charge) and put her in it. She is about 55 pounds and average height and is about as big as you could fit inside. But she was so thrilled to push the pedal and get it moving that being slightly cramped was not an issue. There is plenty of growth room for children age 3-5 and I'm sure this would be fine for a year for a 6 year-old.
There are three drive speeds: low or slow gear that goes about 2-3 mph, reverse, and high or fast gear that goes about 5-6 mph. You have the option (and it comes locked) to keep it from going into the faster gear. It is as simple as removing a screw to allow for the two forward speed options.
It is cute, solid (although all plastic) and moves easily. The response time in braking (when you take your foot off the 'gas' pedal) is quick and automatic. The steering is responsive and easy to move. The biggest drawback is the plastic tires. I wish they were a rubber composite. We ran them on gravel, some loose and some tightly packed with little trouble -- although it does tend to spin slightly when starting up. We also ran it on macadam (blacktop) with no trouble and less noise. It went up some good hills and down without any trouble.
It comes with a 'radio' programmed with 6 tunes (no lyrics, just music).
