These are great fun and value, and even more fun if you buy more than one for the kids to ride together or race. Works best on very smooth surfaces like concrete garage floor.
They do have a weakness in the steering mechanism where the knurled (roughened) sections can snap off and then it is no longer possible to ride. I attempted a repair that is working so far: 1) disassemble (use a 14 mm socket (the assembly instructions with ours incorrectly said 17 mm)) 2) break off the remaining knurled pieces 3) get a spring doorstop and cut out from the tapered area the section that is just narrow enough to fit inside the steering tube, and just wide enough to fit over the bolt with the conical end. 4) Put spring section over the co ical bolt with the narrow end of the spring against the cone 5) Reassemble and tighten until the steering “wheel” and front wheels are locked together. If it slips, tighten more. See photos.

I recently purchased this ride-on toy that initially seemed perfect for my child. The design is visually appealing, with bright color (pink) and a friendly shape that immediately caught my little one's attention. The concept of the toy is fantastic, promising hours of fun and developmental benefits through active play.
However, we encountered a significant issue that has made the toy nearly unusable: the steering wheel does not stay attached. This flaw undermines the entire functionality of the ride-on toy. Without a secure steering wheel, it's difficult for my child to steer and enjoy the toy as intended. Each time my child tries to use it, the steering wheel detaches, leading to frustration and disappointment.
While the overall quality of the materials and the design concept are commendable, the fundamental problem with the steering wheel attachment renders this product impractical. I hope the manufacturer addresses this issue in future versions, as it has great potential to be a fantastic ride-on toy with just a bit of improvement in its construction. Until then, I cannot fully recommend this product due to the significant usability issue.
