I purchased this car in hopes that my 4 year old and 1 year old would both get a lot of use and fun out of it. Unfortunately, my four year old was over it quickly because it travels very slowly and only drives on pavement. It's also pretty noisy. My 1 year old, who is too young to operate the car on his own, benefits greatly from the remote control. The reason that we are keeping this car is the price was reasonable and my 1 year old gets a kick out of riding in it. An added benefit is that my four year old can take the controls for her brother. I would recommend this car for a younger child that you would be with in your driveway. For an older child who wants to drive around outside and "off road", spend the money for a Peg Perego car.

Pros: remote control for younger riders
Cons: slow, noisy, only drives on paved areas
