Customer Rating: Summary: super!! Comment: We had to stop coming to the playground because all the kids want to ride on it. And the car looks better in real life than in the picture. It's pretty heavy. Customer Rating: Summary: GREAT CAR Comment: I GAVE IT TO MY NEARLY 4YRS OLD SON. HE STRUGGLED THE FIRST FEW DAYS BECAUSE THE WEIGHT OF IT IS HEAVIER THEN ANY BIKE/RIDEON TOY HES HAD IN THE PAST SO PEDDALING IT WAS TOUGHER FOR HIM. HE WOULD SAY HIS LEGS ARE TIRED OF PEDDALING. HOWEVER, THIS WENT ON FOR 7 DAYS. HE WOULD NOT GIVE UP BECAUSE HE WAS TRUELY THRILLED WITH IT. ANYWAY, HE GOT ACCUSTOMED TO THE WEIGHT, I QUESS,BECAUSE HES ON IT MOST EVERYDAY. NO COMPLAINTS. GREAT EXERCISE, AND LOTS OF FUN ALSO. AS WELL AS SAFE TO RIDE. DOESNT TIP. EASY TO STEER. MADE WELL. MY HUSBAND APPROVES OF IT AND HE CAN BE CRITICAL WHEN IT COMES TO MANUFACTURED ITEMS. GREAT TOY, ALL HIS COUSINS WANT IT WHEN THEY VISIT. Customer Rating: Summary: Fantastic car! Comment: We purchased this car for our son's 4th birthday. He loves it! It is very well built; sturdy and solidly constructed. The wheel base is so wide and low, it would be nearly impossible to flip it, even at high speeds or sharp turns. Although our son is not yet driving it very fast, our neighbor, a 7 yr old boy, was "test driving" the new car (super-fast down the hill, with a sharp "peel-out" at the bottom!) It was like watching a race car doing what it was made for! The pedals can be taken out of gear so as not to spin around while coasting fast downhill.
My son also loves the sound the brake makes, similar to an air brake on a big rig...very cool! The steering is very tight, and it has a good turn radius. Another neighbor has an older version of the same car, that they bought for their son many years ago. Theirs is still in great shape, and has found new life now that the 2 cars can race side by side! My 2 daughters (ages 6 and 8) love to drive it as well.
I do wish the seat could be moved with a simple lever. It does not slide back, rather must be removed with a screwdriver and replaced in the new position. But it does have several seat positions available. My son is very tall for his age, and is currently using the first (closest to steering wheel) position. It's good to know he'll be able to drive the car for many more years as he grows.
This is a fantastic product, and we are very pleased with it. My husband actually wants one for himself and each of our girls! (they do make them large enough for adults!) Even my UPS man was envious of it when he delivered it to us!
The assembly was fairly simple, and we were finished in about a 1/2 hour.
This product is well-priced, and very high quality. Of course, the look on my son's face when he first saw it was priceless! Customer Rating: Summary: Kettcar - Good Purchase but....... Comment: My son really likes it. We had an older pedal car that was my wife's from the 70's that he was using up until now. The kettcar is much nicer - he loves the break on the car.
Only problem I had was on the day of his birthday when I was trying to put it together, I found they did NOT have instructions in the box. I went straight to the company's internet site to download the instructions but found they had a bunch of manuals for other cars but not for this one. I had to wait until Monday and contact the company which had to e-mail me a PDF file (which they did right away). This was the only hang up I had with the product.
Otherwise, it's a good toy. Customer Rating: Summary: Love It! Comment: Purchased for very tall 4 year old. He fits with room to spare. Easy to ride (but the chain assembly is very loud). He loves the Kettler and rides it daily. Only reason I give it 4 starts out of 5 is that my came with one missing hole on one side for the seat adjustment - very strange but I can drill the missing hole.
