my two year old son has this ride on 12 volt battery operated gator. I decided to buy it due to us having an adult diesel John Deere Gator that I have had since I was 6 years old. I wanted to carry on the tradition, and get my son used to the controls so he can one day, drive my gator. he loves this toy so much! and it entertains my son for hours a day. when he gets to drive it, he always has a huge smile on his face!

The Peg Perego John Deere Gator works great and my two grandchildren thoroughly enjoy it. However (and this is a BIG however), in order to recharge the battery, the front of the Gator must be removed, which entails either raising up the unit on its rear wheels or getting down on the ground, removing the retaining screw, unclipping the remaining fasteners, disconnecting the battery from the Gator, connecting the battery to the charger, then reversing the process. There are several problems with this process. The first is the cover is not designed for repeated removals and at some point, the screw hole will become stripped (it's plastic), and the clips (which are also plastic) will eventually fail. The second is the recharging process is rather cumbersome (I'm being quite generous when I say this). In summary, it's a great toy for the kids, but not so much for the adults responsible for keeping it charged. Had I known this from the outset, I would have not purchased it and I don't recommend it.

No you don't get what you pay for! This tractor is no different than a Power Wheel ride on!!!! I Paid a lot of money for cheap plastic, stickers, and a battery........... No detail or quality you would get in the older version Peg Perego ride on product that i bought for my kids..... Now my grand kids got a cheaper less quality product..... Not even a radio..... Do yourself a favor and buy lesser priced 12 volt ride on elsewhere because they are all the same now

We purchased this for our daughter's 4th birthday. The shipping to store and pick-up was seemless with Walmart, however, after my husband spent hours assembling what he referred to as, "plastic junk", we discovered it wouldn't even go into gear or reverse! We called Peg Perego and they told us to basically troubleshoot it ourselves by disassembling the dumper trailer and see if there is a wire connection issue at the rear. Ya, no thanks! The size was also disappointing being it was advertised for 3-8 year olds and I could tell already our 4 year was going to outgrow it fast. Very upset with Peg Perego as they were known in the past for making decent products and having good customer service. You would think for the price you spend it would come in working condition and maybe have some extra features such as lights and music. Needless to say we returned it to Walmart (again seemless) and will be upgrading to a 24V atv that has all the bells and whistles for a mere $20 more!

While my son is extremely happy... he turns five in about a month & barely fits in it. And my son is only average height for his age. No way could any 8 year old fit. Then the first time my son tried using the lever for the back dumping part it broke. My son loves it & he REALLY wanted the John Deere model so that's why we got it but otherwise I believe there are other models that are half the price that are just as good or better. If you don't need to buy John Deere save the money.

I bought this for my kids for Christmas they loved it! By the time it got warm enough to ride it, they only got to use it for maybe 2 months and the wheels starting cracking and falling apart now they can't ride it till I buy new wheels! I can't believe I paid $400 for this and my kids only used it for two months and can't use it anymore till I buy new wheels! Something this expensive should be a little better built! My kids weren't even rough on it at all!!

I bought this for my sons's 2nd birthday, while he is able to touch the pedal he has a hard time pushing the pedal, steering and watching where he is going. No doubt, in a few months I know he will be driving the gator everywhere. My daughter is almost 4 and LOVES to drive her brother around. It drives great on flat roads/grass but struggles a tad to go up hills. They love the back of the gator, they toss their garen tools, babies, snacks, water in the back and go. Its fantastic! I wanted something they both could use and the Gator is perfect! It's so nice to go on a walk and not have to push a dbl stroller.

I bought this as the "from Santa" gift for my 4 yr old (had just turned 4 two weeks before Christmas). He loves John Deere and I knew this would be his favorite toy. Unfortunately he got on to ride it and his knees were so crammed against the front that it is not fun for him. He is a tall 4 yr old (probably the same size as most 6-7 yr olds) but I expected this toy to be suitable since it says ages 3-8. I am very disappointed, as is he, that he is too tall for this ride-on. I believe the age range should be more like 2-5--at that it would be for average height children not tall children.

My grandson loves it. The battery compartment is too small for the wiring and the battery...nearly impossible to close. The primitive rod that is used to hold the battery in will not fit due to all the excess wiring harness for the battery and the compartment being so small. The battery compartment itself is very difficult to get to under the front bumper for us old guys. I feel like it's overpriced.

Assembly wasn’t horrible, 12v is fast but the slower option and reverse are both nice. My 4 year old loves driving his 2 year old brother around. Charge holds for a long time which is great because getting the grill off and on for charging isn’t ideal. I’d recommend.
