tires cracked before a year was up

we are just outside of 6 months (out of warranty) and the back wheel cracked... seriously? poor quality. son loves to drive this but I'm not happy with the quality. maybe they should rethink the plastic tires = rubber. it is suppose to be a gator after all...

Expensive for what it is

Granted we bought this for a 4 year old's birthday (who has a 6 year old sibling) but it definitely is smaller than it looks in terms of seating space. It is plenty roomy for the 4 year old and 6year old, but they will likely outgrow it sooner than later. It may have been better to purchase the single John Deere tractor that accomodates one slightly larger child and let them take turns, plus save over $100 in the purchase price. It seems fairly well made, but was a nightmare to put together given there were only picture instructions vs picture and written instructions. It is rather large and bulky of an item so it is tough to carry across the yard when the battery dies far away from the outlet in the garage. The battery only seems to last an hour or so, and the battery is not easy to get to to plug in...you need a screwdriver to remove the battery cover each time. Overall, my son enjoys riding and taking friends for rides, but I have the few gripes mentioned.

Buy another battery

My girls love riding this gator around our farms. But u can only ride it for 3 hrs and it goes dead. Whatever battery is in the Barbie jeep they need to Putin the gator. We have a Barbie jeep I think we have had to charge it one time in a year. I am not pleased with the battery!!! Please if u are going to spend 350 bucks buy an extra battery.

Super for the kids

Both this over 5 years ago and it’s still run like a new. Best gift ever specially if you have a kid that’s like to help out with yard work. Both my kids who are 7 and 4 years old like to drive it. The battery last at least 4-6 hours. Sometimes I charge it only after 2-3 days. The price seem high but totally worth it.

Great ride on

We bought this for our sons 3rd birthday and he loves it!! In my opinion it was way too much money for cheap plastic but it's been almost a month since our son got it and every day he wants to go outside and ride his gator. so it was worth every penny if it makes him that happy!

Poor warranty and service, it doesnt last.

Pegperego only offers a 6 month warranty on the tires, battery and charger. They offer no help if you are outside of that warranty. For the price of these, it is a poor warranty plan. Everything that doesnt fail has a one year warranty. John Deere should look for a better brand to rep their gator!

Peg Perego gator

I bought one of these 12 years ago for my older granddaughter! She was 3 years old. It was built heavier, bigger, a lot better gator! These new ones are cheaply built, don’t expect it to last very long, if at all. Very disappointed in the quality and the price! I don’t what you could buy now in this cheap market! More money and a cheap product!

Poor Quality

We bought the Gator Feb 2021 and spring 2022 battery doesn’t last more than 20 min. We do have hills on our property but it should last longer than 20 minutes. Battery was stored inside all winter long. Definitely not worth $300 we paid. Very disappointed in this purchase.

This fits both my 2 boys, ages 4 and 6, well togehter. We had the older version but wore it out. It was 11 years old, but really only saw heavy use the last 2-3 years. So far, so good, but if it's anything like the old version, don't expect the battery or reverse to last long.

Fun but cheaply made

I made the decision to spend a lot of money on a ride on for my kids because I figured the quality would be much higher than a cheaper model. Wrong. This is made from flimsy plastic. Super disappointed; however, the kids love it. After about 30 minutes I noticed it starts to lose strength in the battery. The dump bed is difficult for me to unlatch and my kids can’t do it at all. I wouldn’t NOT recommend this product, but I’d recommend doing your homework. Go see them in person before buying.
