First, my grandson loved this toy! We take a walk with him in it every day that he is over. He goes over to the car and wants to get in when he sees it. It's very sturdy and we like the cup holders. I usually push it as grandpa is a little too tall for him to comfortably push without it bothering his back. As for the assembly, it was a lot of parts, but grandpa assembled it in under an hour. We had no issues and following the directions was easy. Unsure why there have been several posts about the assembly.  Overall, seeing my grandson's smile as we push him around is definitely worth it al!
