> 3 dayOkay.... I am a person that finds assembling Ikea furniture to be somewhat relaxing. I don’t mind assembly. This was hands down the WORST thing i’ve ever put together and I have an Ikea wardrobe system I put together myself. It came out of the box as a pink shell and a myriad of wheels, plastic pieces, axles, stickers, etc. the directions sheet was like a bad fax. The pictures were so dark you could barely see how thing fit together and there were no words only letters that label pieces you can barely make out. In order to get the wheels on the axles and on the car, you have to use pliers and a wrench at the same time - be prepared to be handy to get this together and to contemplate tossing the whole thing out the door. A few hours later we had a functioning car that felt generally stable. I’m still not entirely sure the seat belt is on the right way, but after assembling it 4 different ways, there just doesn’t seem to be a right way and I holds the little one in place, so I gave up. It’s pretty roomy. The cup holders fit bottles of water, cans, and of course sippy cups. My LO is 18 months and dits fine and will enable to ride in this for a long time to come. She loves to go for walks in this. I have to be careful about the time of day since there is no sunshade. Now, I paid extra for the whisper quiet version of this toy. Don’t bother. It is NOT quiet. It tumbled along the side walk pretty loudly. I can only imagine what the non-whisper quiet version is like. I don’t think the noise reduction. Is worth the extra cost as it’s loud. It also doesn’t maneuver worth a darn. If you need to turn, move to the side, or anything that is not just straight, you basically end up dragging it. It goes over most bumps okay, but we have hit a few large sidewalk bumps that caused us to have to pop a wheelie. My kid loves this thing. I’ll forever have nightmares about having to assemble it and then listen to it rumble through the streets.

> 3 dayThe instructions were a pain. The parts list was on one page and the assembly pictures were on the back. Since the parts werent labeled, it was constant flipping back and forth. If youve ever put together a kids wagon, though, it will be pretty familiar. There were about three pictures of the steering column, which was really easy on mine to get in. So I kept staring at the directions thinking I was missing something--I wasnt. You just have to make sure the two little tabs are pushed in to go through the car and when it comes out the other side, that they both open again. It did this by itself so it took me a bit to figure out that everything was fine. I REALLY wish the wheels turned. I didnt really understand what the reviews meant til I got it (thought maybe it was just that the steering wheel didnt turn the wheels, and I didnt want my son having control over where we were going, or that maybe some of the wheels were stationary but others were not) and realized that unless you plan on going forward and backward in a straight line, its annoying. Ive found that if you lean on the handle opposite where you want to turn, it tends to veer in that direction. Good enough for now. My son is tall for 2 1/2 but he has some legroom still, which is nice. Also, the description says there are 6 cup holders. Theres 3. Plus the hood, where you can put a few things.

> 3 dayThe assembly instructions were very confusing, but my male friend assembled it for me. I would not have been able to do it, as a female :) I purchased the vehicle for my 1 year old grandson. He loves it! He gets looks and compliments when he is being pushed.

> 3 dayMy grandson is at the age where a stroller is not always necessary so I purchased this as an alternative for our walks around the neighborhood and local parks. I am so happy with this item and he absolutely loves his blue car.

> 3 dayWe purchased this for our 13 month old on the advice of another parent, and boy were they right. (UPDATE: Now using it for the same child at 3.5 years old, and we have only had to remove the steering wheel to give him extra leg room, otherwise its still going strong! My son is big for his age too). I would second their advice and not wait for the 18 month mark as our little guy is obsessed with this car. The seating area is tighter than the race car shopping carts at our local stores so this is probably for the smaller guys anyway. My husband had it assembled in ten minutes and I didnt hear any griping so thats always a good sign. Cup holder does fit a bottled beer but the holder swings so when you go down an incline or over some tall grass, the beer will flip forward from the swinging momentum and thus spill forward, AKA it is not really functional for an opened bottle. Cans of beer fit fine (coozies dont fit though). The cup holder does fit my iPhone as well as some keys and other small items if I line it with a paper towel first (there are holes cut into the bottom of the holder). It also holds a small bottle of water (with the cap on it) quite well (the slender 16.9 oz bottle of Dasani for instance). The lack of a shade is pretty awful, as trying to get our little guy to wear a hat can be a battle. So I ordered about 5 umbrellas of varying sizes on Amazon and we ended up with the Versa Brella by Sport Brella in red and then after the red one broke we ordered blue. Both looked fine and tied well with the color of the car. The Versa Brella angles in several different ways thanks to the jointed stem. We attached it to the very end of the handle (that is closest to our bodies/hands when we push) and it doesnt really interfere with the cupholder that much. The clamp does affix nicely around the thick plastic of the Whisper Ride. The Versa Brella can be swiveled very easily so when we make turns in the hood, I simply swing the longer edge of the umbrella towards the sun and we get about another 3 of coverage for the little guy. I just wish this umbrella had vents though, as on a windy day (15 MPH gusts) it bucks and bows. Overall its a necessity to have the umbrella in the Florida sun!! Trunk provides pretty decent amount of space, we have had two diapers, a travel pack of wipes, a paci, a change of clothes, a sun hat and a small ziplock full of snacks crammed into it and it still closed. There are holes in the floorboard of this car so you can hose it out if need be. There are two cup holders in the car for the rider, but they didnt fit our snack cups or sippy cups well. So in them we rigged thick coozies lined with thin plastic cups and we use one for snacks and the other to hold the sippy cup The coozie holds or grips onto the plastic cup and prevents spills. The wheels do not turn but I just push down on the handle, thus lifting up the front wheels and swivel the car in the direction that I need it to go. I am 59 and my husband is 6 and we dont have any issues pushing this. Sure an inch or two on the handle would be great but I understand this product needs to accommodate everyone. This has been a great addition to our outdoor time. The little guy loves for us to pull over so he can push in sprinkler heads, pick up rocks or touch the mailboxes, etc. He will even sit in it while its parked in our driveway and allow me to get some raking, etc. done while he snacks. We have gotten this into Disney on several occasions but a few times have been told really isnt allowed, although we always get in. Its a lot smaller than some of the huge double strollers people are pushing around and frankly it still falls within the size limits on Disneys website. It is not pulled like a wagon (wagons are not allowed into Disney parks) either. ***UPDATE 7/2015*** My son still loves this car. We had to take the steering wheel out to give him more room in the cabin for his legs. Still one of the best purchases weve made to date.

> 3 dayThis little car was the absolute best gift I could have bought for my daughter. She loved it immediately. It is just the right size for her and she can climb in and out safely by herself. She even tries to put her seat belt on by herself (Developing good habits early). This car came in a large box and was shipped fast. The instructions to assemble the car were easy to follow and the assembly went smooth. The car looks great. My daughter is 16 months old and she loves cars and steering things. I wanted to get her a wagon and this was a great combination of the two. She immediately loved it and didnt want to part with it. She is on the smaller side, but still fits in the car nicely and she can reach the steering wheel just fine. I like that it has a seat belt so that she doesnt stand up while Im pushing her. The only downfall is that I am tall and I wish the handle was a little taller for us tall guys. Otherwise I have no complaints. It comes with 3 cup holders and a storage space under the hood. You push it from behind instead of pulling it like you would a wagon. We went for a run while pushing her in this car and it had no issues. This is made extremely well, and for the price it is absolutely worth buying. I would recommend it to anyone.

> 3 dayWonderful little car once it is assembled! Purchased when my granddaughter was 10 months old now one year. It is sturdy enough to walk all around the neighborhood without concerns of wobbling. There is plenty of space, I love the cup holder for the adult driver and I think this will last at least a couple of years. Assembly was tricky! Im not kidding, my father is an engineer and it took the two of us to work through the instructions which were pitiful. Theres one mystery piece that actually is used as a tool for the wheels and realizing it wasnt actually a part for the car was our biggest challenge. I strongly recommend a drill gun rather than simple screwdriver, it saved a lot of time. If you can find one already assembled, used, you will save yourself about 2 hours. The kids love the car!
