I bought this item cause my son would go crazy when he saw other kids with one of these.  It was almost embarrassing cause he would get into it.  Then I would have to peel him out of it with him kicking and screaming.  I then knew I had to get one.  We got it assembled it and went to the zoo.  He sat in it longer than he would have in his stroller.  And it was easy to take him in and out to see the animals.  The horn was a lot of fun for him.  BTW, my son is 22 months old.
