Step2 Whisper Ride II Ride On Push Toy Car, Pink – Ride On Car with Included Seat Belt, Easy Storage and Transport, Makes a Great Stroller Alternative

This is a great little kid’s car! It is easy to push, and kids enjoy riding in it. Even though the front wheels aren’t “jointed,” it is easy to turn corners - just press down on the handle a little and swivel. It has plenty of storage for water bottles, snacks, a jacket or sweater, a diaper etc. under the hood and in the built in cup holders. It rolls along smoothly and is not too rattly or noisy. Good value for the price!

First the 'downside': The parts lists shows item K, but, this is NOT a part, only a tool (of which I didn't use) and it had part P, stuck inside, of which, I wasted time trying to figure out how to use it. The answer came when it fell on the floor and part P came loose (an extra part for locking the wheel on the shaft). I used a rubber mallet, not hammer, and a ratchet screwdriver with a good handle, which made putting the 'dashboard' easier to put on as there isn't any pre-drilled holes to start the screws and also the screws for the seat belts (the belts are on backwards on this car?) are very long and would be difficult to screw in using a normal screwdriver, especially if one has trouble using their hands. The front wheel came off and we had a hard time to get my grandchild to get out of the car to fix it, which was an easy fix. The handle, of which was my main reason to buy this toy, does fold down, but, if you want to remove it, you will need a wrench (open-end is best) and a pair of pliers to loosen the nut and then you pull out the long bolt, the downside is that to replace it, you have to line up the four holes once again, which is a pain; this handle should be made to quicK disconnect for ease (WAKE-UP STEP TWO) of taking off and putting back on again. I made a copy of the parts lists as I got fed up with flipping the paper over trying to figure out what I was suppose to do, and this made it easier for me. The only toy for my grandchild to play with while he is in the seat is the steering wheel (the horn didn't get him excited at all) and he kept trying to raise the 'trunk' as they call it in front, but sitting down in the car, he couldn't do it and almost broke the lid trying (another wake-up call for STEP TWO; we need more gadgets to amuse the child while they are in the seat). The good: my grandson loved it and I enjoyed being able to push him around the yard without breaking my back bending down. It looks wonderful but because there isn't anything for a child to play with besides the steering wheel, I only gave it four stars. It is too bad that toy manufacturers don't ask the parents/grandparents what they would like to have on these toys; I guess that they themselves don't have any children to learn from. The construction seems to be sturdy enough, but I am not too sure about those wheels, the only part that came from China, as they feel flimsy. I didn't use the seatbelt, but when my wife started to push the car, our grandson, reached down and tried to put them on himself (he is 20 months). Yep, he has been in her car so I guess he knows best. There is a lot of room inside, of which I am happy as the cold air is coming in and he will be able to wear heavy clothes while I am pushing him outside and this should be usable as a push-toy for a few years and of course his parents can remove the handle when he does get too big to fit inside. My only regret: not finding this car sooner in the year. Putting it together was a labor of love and really not that difficult once you can figure out the pictures and where to start. +JMJ+

My daughter LOVES this car. We take it to the park every week and she loves to be pushed around in it. I love how it’s quieter than the original and how it has cup holders for the child and parent. It was pretty easy to put together too. Definitely a great buy and worth the money.

Well built, easy to assemble and a fun ride for the grandson ! He loves taking a ride in this car

Easy to assemble, fun, and great value!

The toy is fun for the baby. However, the manual was all over the place. Had instructions where it had you do one thing and then once done you had to undo because the following step was supposed to be the first step. The parts are plastic and so they didn’t fit flush. You need your own tools so I recemos reading that before buying. Does not come with any padding for comfort. It is is stable and handles walks outside. The flower decals are cute but not sure why the cup holder by the handle is yellow and not matching of the pink or purple from the rest of the car. Even black would be better than the yellow.

I’m a babysitter and got this for the 2.5-year-old I care for as a Christmas gift. She loves cars and this one was perfect for her! It’s been 4 months and we still use it all the time. Great quality, not noisy, and she still fits perfectly. Love taking it to the park and amusement places. It even has a little storage space for toys or beach stuff. Super practical and adorable!

ETA: My 20 month old grandson is completely OBSESSED with this car!!! He cries to ride in it and cries when he needs to get out of it. We get so many compliments everywhere we go about it. This is the best money I ever spent. Completely durable also! DO NOT HESITATE! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!Nice quality. Assembly took under an hour with no problems and was fairly easy. Nice and sturdy. Handle folds nicely underneath and I can even fit the car in the backseat of my Honda Civic. I bought it for my grandson's first birthday and had it assembled at the party. All the kids were obsessed with it and all the adults wanted to know where I bought it. My grandson loves it (he is one) and likes feeling like a big boy sitting up and being able to look at everything on walks. The car is very easy to maneuver. We used it on both concrete and gravel with no problems. The trunk comes in handy for holding adults keys and cell phone when walking outside. Worth every penny.
