First let me say they could have done a little better with the directions on assembling the item. The pictures were not exactly very crisp. I would love more detail on the clarity of the pictures. Anyhow we did get this assembled and my daughter was practically jumping in it before we were completely done. She loves it and likes that she can "pretend" to steer. I think its very sturdy and at first thought I would be worried about her tilting to the side and falling out but that is not the case. she loves this more than any other toy. It is great to take on walks  and the handle is the perfect length/size for just that. We have yet to fold the handle to take in our vehicle but I am excited to try this at the mall.
