New York City First Responder 12V Ride On

The styling on this ride on car is so cute! It has the most amazing lights that just make it extra fun. I love that it seats two and that both my youngest can ride at the same time or one at a time. The weight limit is reasonable- even my eleven year old is less than the 110 lb weight limit:) I like that it has safety features like seatbelts and a long lasting battery. It was easy to assemble. My fourteen year old did it with very minimal input from mom and dad, mostly just needing help with attaching the wheels. Assembly took like ten or fifteen minutes tops. The box it came in was huge! I was shocked at how big the box was, but everything was packaged well and with no damage. It seems easy to charge. The siren sounds very accurate although not "too" loud. Overall, I think this is a fun present for a kid or family with young kids and I am sure my group will get lots of mileage out of it;) This review is through the Walmart Spark Reviewer program, but the opinions are my honest own.

Major excitement factor when they saw what this was! We assembled it and plugged in to charge it with the box slid over it again (just folded the mirrors in) and the picture facing the deck so they did not know what it was until it was charged. The 4-year-old was able to drive this car on his own and quickly learned to use the blinker to reverse when needed. The 2-year-old made me thankful for the remote so I could control what was happening and she could steer and hit the pedal without actually being in control. This is a great way to teach taking turns, we did a full lap around the yard and changed drivers as it is still a very new toy and the young one had a meltdown every time we switched but quickly decided enjoying the ride in the back was better than sitting on the deck while her brother kept going. Only two things we have noticed. 1. With both of them in the car driving on the grass the battery lasts for about 30 minutes, may have to look into a spare battery so can charge 2 of them...just not sure if worth the pain of having to remove the back seat to change them out....still giving this some thought as there will always be 2 in the car for a few more years, currently about 70 lbs. 2. I wish the manual versus remote control button was elsewhere as they flip the switches and 2-year-old gets control when I am driving the remote, so it should be either on the door or back of the car so the adult can decide who is in control of the car and not the child.
