My son received this from Grandma - he loves it. It has a number of sound bytes that are accompanied by lights and vibrations. It's an interesting piece of eye candy - very nostalgic. The only problem with it is that it's not a very good ride on, a good sit on toy yes, but not very easy to ride. Unless your child has an above average inseam, he won't be able to foot power the item, plus it doesn't steer?

Good news:
1. Kids from 11 years old to 1 year old loved playing with it.
2. Great features: various sound effects, flashing lights, and vibration effects.
3. Well made and durable.
4. Fairly easy to assemble.
5. Good value.
6. Wheels don't mark on wood or stone floor.
Suggested Improvements:
1. Installing the wheel caps could be made easier by screwing it on instead of having hammering it in.
2. Make the front wheels turn to make it more manueverable instead of sliding it to turn.
3. Make the body of the rocket slimmer in the middle so smaller kids can have their feet touch the floor.

I ordered this toy from Amazon without being able to see it in person. The rocket is on the smaller size. I was sort of disappointed in the size. It is comparable to a little tykes push car. It is definately for a 1-3 year old. Though my five year old plays with it. She really likes to push her one year old brother on it. The seat/under seat storage hinge is plastic and seems flimsy. If you want to push your tot on it you have to hold on to the fins. They are not little tikes plastic. They bend a little when pressure is applied, so be careful not to break them off. It has great sound affects, and the vibration is an attention grabber. My kids love it. It is played with everyday. My son climbs on and grunts and rocks(his way of asking to be pushed around). No problems yet. It is pricey in my opinion. [...] I am glad the children love it.
