12V Kid's Ride on Truck Electric Vehicle with Light & Music

I bought this jeep for my grandson's 3rd birthday. He loves it, especially the radio. I put some music on a usb stick for him. Only problem is that, like a real car, it has a control on the steering wheel and he was constantly (accidently) knocking the button, so every few seconds the song starts again. Operator error, rather than a problem with the jeep.

The jeep feels really solid, and the bumpers so far have worked well. Headlights and flashing lights. One very cool jeep. There is loads of room for a 3 year old and I think a 6 year old would fit. Not sure about any older than that.

The description says two-speed. I think what they means is back and forward. The jeep doesn't have two forward speeds. The description also says slow-start. I'm not sure I would describe it as slow start. The jeep is actually quite nippy.

The instructions aren't very easy to follow and instruct to put the axel on around the wrong way, but there is a good video on YouTube. It still took my son and son-in-law 1.5-2 hours to put it together. A couple of screws where the back lights are, wouldn't fit, but it doesn't notice or make any difference to the working. It just means if you pull on them they come out.

Downsides.
Biggest downside is that the jeep is true to life and has a large turning circle, just like real jeeps. Great if you are on a footpath, but not so great in the back garden. Our patio area is a good 4m x 4m and even with the steering wheel on full lock, he can't make it round without hitting something or backing up. A shame, but I'm sure he will get use to it. Only being 3 years old, he hasn't got great control of the car, which means that an adult has to be there to grab the car when he doesn't take his foot off the peddle. It could really do with a parental remote. I looked at so many ride ons that I thought this one had one, but it doesn't. It looks like you might be able to retrofit a universal remote. I will update the review if we manage to.

Although you can just about fit the jeep through an internal door, you can only do so if you have enough turning space. We put it together in the front lounge. It is a tight turn into the dining room and we ended up having to take it out the front door and around the outside of the house into the back garden.

Too big to get it in car, without putting the back seats down, which you can't do with kids in the back.

Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase, and more importantly, my grandson loves his jeep.

UPDATE
After a few crashes in the garden (raised flowerbed with wooden sleepers, so quite solid), I'm really pleased to be able to say how strong the bumpers are. No scratches or scuffs. Tougher than a lot of real car bumpers!
