My 3 year old Loves his Gator! He has no problems driving and steering it all around the yard. The seat is adjustable, so as he gets taller we can move it back. It has a tailgate that lets down and you can pull a lever to dump the bed. It even has a cup holder! So many well thought out features perfect for kids. The battery has a long life. We keep it on charge between uses. This Gator is made in Indiana, which I thought was awesome. FYI- the box it comes in is Huge! We had to strap it to the roof of my SUV b/c it wouldn’t fit through the back hatch. Yes, it’s an expensive toy, but my little guy is getting hours of enjoyment from it. Highly recommend!

My grandson has had this for a little over a year and a half and the only problem we have with it is the steering wheel bolt comes out. That’s kind of a pain but really not a terrible issue. We keep an extra battery on the charger but the batteries seem to last a long time.

Look, this thing is awesome and perfect for kids 2yo- (who knows) 9yo i think is recommended (but i'm a 230 pound man and it carries me... so probably way beyond 9) I have 2 boys, 1 loves the fast setting the other doesn't. They have driven it threw mud, grass, gravel, streets, hills and this thing performs superbly. The only time it has issues is in the slow gear (as only 1 tire spins) and when they try to run it through deep mud puddles where the mud touches the chassis. (BOTH completely reasonable reasons to get stuck). (Will buy another one after a few months for my 2 yo (no more sharing yay)). In high speed both rear motors kick in and give them the nice standard grip and can spin the tires and what not (looks so cool - but does destroy the tires (haven't had to replace any tires yet, have had mine ran daily for 4 months) If you live in the country, and are complaining about the "cheap" tires. Find any other ride on with rubber tires - please... because you won't. So for those people who need more grip, here's what you do, you buy this: https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=bicicle%20fat%20tires then cut them to size and screw them into the "cheap" tires. Voila. (of course if you decide to modify the vehicle - please be wary that your child might just start popping wheelies on dry surfaces).

We bought this for our two year old birthday and three years in we still use it ( finally one wheel is cracked in half ) but we do a 3 mile walk with this car about 3-4 times a week and my other now two year old daughter rides with her sister( we used a regular belt to strap her in) one of the best purchases ever !!

The plastic wheels just spin on grass, concrete, gravel unless I walk along side my grand son and hold down on side of car to give drive wheel weight for traction. Not much fun doing it this way if you have remedy please let me know. I don't like when I have to try to figure out how to make it work right out of the box. You know it did cost me about $350 dollar be nice if it worked. Fred

Considering we purchased on Black Friday the price was exceptional. The gator seems pretty sturdy. The handle for the lift bed is flimsy and broke during install. However will not affect overall use of ride-on. We did need to do some trouble shooting yesterday because the reverse is not working, however the handy troubleshooting guide enclosed with directions appears to indicate the problem. I have not fixed yet.

I thought I was getting a great product because it was built in the USA. I was so disappointed, I had bought this for my grandsons 3rd birthday and it quit running after 2 months. My grandson son was pretty upset because he loved it and you would think paying that much it would last longer. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!

I purchased this gator for my grandsons. Our property is only dirt and gravel, which made it extremely difficult for the plastic tires to move the gator. My husband took some old bike rubber tires and put them on the back tires of the gator. It now moves like it's on concrete. The dump bed works awesome. The boys helped grandpa move rock and would dump a pile and go back to get more. It is the first thing they run to when coming to visit, after hugs. Very happy with this little machine. We have since purchased another. The race is on.

We bought the Gator for our two children. We thought that this would be great since it was suppose to be for children 3-8 years of age. I don't know what 8 year old they measured but our 5 year old who is 4'3" doesn't even fit in the seat with it all the way back. Our 3 year old son loves it and fits perfectly however I dont know that it will last him but a year before he is to tall.

Purchased this for our 7 year old grandson. Specs say 3-8 year old but would be more appropriate for 3-6 years old. Difficult to assemble based on the instructions. Over priced based on cheap plastic materials. Best suited for city kids on the sidewalk but not country boy on the farm. Does not go well in the grass. I would not recommend this product.
