I purchased this for my 26 month old Great Grandaughter, she loves it to climb up to the top and "bump" down the steps, but is scared of it to ride on.  Maybe too young.The weight requirment is 79lbs, but our 11 year old grandson rides it and it seems sturdy enough for him, even her mom and 15 year old aunt rode it. I know as soon as she gets out of the "me scared" phase she will enjoy it.
