The instructions are a little challenging. I normally love putting stuff like this together, but this wasn’t that fun. The windshield holes didn’t line up, so we had to enlarge what was there. After assembling the car, the general consensus by the adults was that this car can be assembled & placed in the box, except for screwing together the handle. It’s pretty ridiculous how much needs to be assembled, especially considering the price! The kid loved it, though. That’s all that matters!
