My son uses it to mimic how we drive..He likes the fact that he has his own car..It helps me to teach my lil toddler all the part of an car like headlights, taillights, fuel tank, odometer, ignition etc..He uses it currently inside the house..I would have liked the car ro have rubber wheels so that it can be driven outside and it would also be good if the car had pedals to move it rather than lil one using their feet to move it. All in all, a good purchase but assembly was a pain.
