We bought one for my 3 1/2 yr old for christmas. The only prob we had was we live on a hill our yard isn't flat. We figured it would have been a prob before we purchased it. When we got it home and my son finally got to ride it. It did slip a lot and you would have to push him. You can solve this prob two ways. Either put something heavy in the bed. Which we didnt like doing cuz then he couldnt put anything in the back. So my husband took some self tapping i think he used 5/8ths screws and put them in the back tires so it could get better traction. Worked like a charm! It will even go up hill on wet grass now. Just a thought for some people that have the same prob. Now he only goes on low speed so I have no idea how it handles in high.

Granted, we have only had this a couple of days, but from what I can tell thus far, it is not super fabulous. This is our first time owning a Power Wheels type of vehicle, so maybe I should not be writing a review, but I just expected more out of it. Our yard is generally flat without hills, but is not super smooth if that makes sense. My 4 year old has a difficult time getting over certain minor "humps" in our yard when it seems as something like this should be easily able to make it. The overall appearance of it is cute. It seems cheaply made though and for $400+ it just seems as though it should be a bit better quality. I feel like if my kids run into something (which is bound to happen the minute I take my eye off of them - my daughter is still learning how to drive it), it will crack. It is difficult to find a solid place for an adult to grip if they want to move it or adjust it if the kiddos get stuck some place. The age rating on it does not seem appropriate. My it is probably ideal for my 4 year old, but I cannot imagine her being able to fit in this at age 7. She is average size for her age - not taller nor heavier. I think she might be able to use it next summer and MAYBE squeeze into it as she is turning 6, but that will be pushing it. Perhaps I will have to come back and adjust my review as we use it more, but this is my observation so far. I just feel like for $400+, we should have received more for our money. The wild thing is, after reading numerous reviews, this Power Wheels like ride on was one of the top rated. Hmmm. We will see.

We got this for our 2 yr old grandson for his birthday and he loves it. Needs to learn how to drive a little better but it's perfect for his size and will last him a long time. My son is a mechanic and said it wasn't too bad to assemble but it was more extensive than he expected.

I purchased this John Deere gator for my 2 year old grandson’s birthday. I think I have had as much fun and laughter with it as he has! My son had it put together in under an hour by himself. FedEx damaged the box horribly in transit but the gator wasn’t damaged thankfully. One piece of trim was missing but it’s not a big deal, however I am going to contact Walmart directly and let them know. The gator is very sturdy! You will see from the photo it handles a 2 year old and 2 almost 4 year old’s. The 2 year old had no problem operating it and I love hearing him squeal and laugh driving it!! His dad locked it out the higher gear and we can easily walk next to it if needed.

We bought this for our 3 year old son, he has wanted it for a year! It looks very sharp, and my husband had no problems assembling, just an hour. My complaints are the tires spin out unless you are driving on completely flat land. It states that it is for 3-8 yr. olds, I also have a 6 & 8 year old boys, and my 6 year old has to sit sideways as the passenger with his legs hanging out the side, because there is no leg room, I won't let the 8 yr. old sit on it. For right now the big brothers follow along behind to push it when it gets stuck, but my 3 yr. old thinks it is great fun!

Ordered online for store pickup. It was ready when I got there, very short wait. Easy to assemble. My Grandson, 26 months old loves it. He has fun just climbing around on it and driving it in circles in the yard. I have it locked in the low speed position for now.

We bought this for my sons 3rd birthday he LOVES it. I think they are a bit over priced but you pay for the name John Deere. For the $400 I wish they had more options like headlights, lights or sounds maybe even a horn on it. I would buy it all over again though my son loves it. He even rides his 1year old brother around :)

For the money the product is great my grandchildren just absolutely adored it my grandchildren are 4 yrs (36) lbs. and 2 yrs (30) lbs The only problem is the battery does not give enough ride time with both children total of 66 pounds gives them about one hour and 30 minutes to play with the toy it says up to 130 pounds overall with ride time of an hour and 30 minutes my question when they reach this weight limit is it even going to move .. for the money that you pay I would think it would be better quality of battery I’m guessing

Not hard to piece together, I finished building in 20 minutes, the stickers took another 20 min. The adjustable seat makes a big difference as my son is a lil young for this and has to stretch a bit to hit the gas peddle. Add another battery and a speed charger to your initial buy $$$.

We bought the older model gator in 2010 for our then 3 yr old and it was a really great product, we wanted to buy another for our younger son. They'd still be using the 2010 model but they wore it out. Our youngest is 5 (42 lbs.) and the new model gator is too small for him, his knees hit the dash. Recommended age on the box is 3 - 8 yrs old. We're taking it back! I wouldn't recommend the new gator for kids older than 3 -4 yrs old. We are super disappointed in the new model gator!
