This is just Awesome! My 19 month old can almost do it all by himself. He just can't quite push himself out of the wheel safety divits to get himself started which is great. My 7 year old also loves it. So I think it is a great choice for a wide age range of kids. I see us getting a lot of use out of it this summer. Sometimes we turn the sprinkler on to make it a wet ride! We also have a big hill in our yard so we let my older son angle it down the hill and he gets a much faster, longer ride! Well worth the money when you see those precious smiles and total enjoyment!
