Ordered this as we were looking for low cost, outdoor toys for our 16 month old toddler. This lawnmower is made from quite lightweight plastic - great for pushing when you're just a little wee person, but not too sure how it might stand up to older children, or if it will have a prolonged life! There is a little pull string on the base which makes a sound like a petrol engine starting, and when the mower is pushed along it continues to 'click' as if the engine is turning over - all popular features with our son. There are also a couple of little dials halfway up the handle which turn - also good to fiddle with. All in all, fair quality and good fun for relatively little cost.
