Greater than one weekWonderful 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!

> 3 dayI will never buy a Step 2 product again. All the snapping and screwing into plastic is ridiculous. Most of the time the holes don’t line up and it take pure luck for it to snap in correctly.

> 3 dayThe only thing i dont like about it is the wheels; they dont swivel, but other than that; it is a safe little car ideal for my great grandchild.

> 3 dayMy grand baby loves her little ride. Plenty of room for her and her doll baby. She likes beeping the horn and she is so excited every time we take a walk around the block for our stroll. My son in law had the car put together in less than 20 minutes. Definitely a great buy.

Greater than one weekWe 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.

Greater than one weekLast summer when my son was one he would try to car jack other kids and take their push cars. Even though he has a Smart Trike, 3 strollers, and countless other scooters and balance bikes, he was obsessed with the cars. I held off as most kids in the neighborhood have the red step 2 push around buggy - it didnt seem well made or comfortable to push for the parent. It also had weight and height limits that my tall son would quickly grow out of. Well fast forward to this summer, he turned 2 and was still obsessed. I began doing research and saw that this version allowed for kids up to age 4 and seemed to have a better ride for the toddler and parent. I have been watching the parent email groups in my town as people often sell toys as their kids outgrow them (we are in a city where storage is at a premium). These seemed to sell for more than half of list price even when a few years old and always sold within a few hours of being posted. So I gave in and ordered it and am glad that I did. I have had people stop me on the street and say they heard my son laughing from the other end of the block. He LOVES this car. He insists on joining us every time we walk the dog around the block and has been known to bring it into the house, park it in the living room and then sit in it to play with his toys and books. If you are trying to decide if it is worth it - order it already! Your kid will love it and you can resell it for at least half of when you pay when they are done with it.

> 3 dayMy 1 year old grandson loves this car. I wish it had a shoulder strap or the sides were higher though. He’s tiny so we’re a little concerned he’ll slip out.
