Honest Opinions Needed - with Pic

Do you think this is something you would buy for your DC? I truly love this pedal car for Ella but I am wondering if it is worth it or will she outgrow it quickly. Opinions please!

Re: Honest Opinions Needed - with Pic

I loooove it but I would worry about how sturdy the wheels were and how long they would last. It's so cute though I think depending on the size she could use it at least until age 5.

Re: Honest Opinions Needed - with Pic

It's adorable. I would go by the recommended age on the site. Is it adjustable at all?

Re: Honest Opinions Needed - with Pic

I think it is really cute! Growing up my neighbors had an old fashioned fire engine pedal car, it held two kids and we ALL loved it ...I think the main reason why I played with those kids was to use the fire engine!

To answer your question, I would definitely buy that! ....Where did you find it??? because now I may have to see if I can find that old fire engine somewhere

ETA: Is it metal? The one I am remembering was metal, so it took a beating and lasted forever!

Re: Honest Opinions Needed - with Pic

I found some info about the Pedal Car on poshtots.com


She'll feel like a princess driving in this vintage-inspired pink pedal car. Features two adjustable non-slip pedals, sealed ball bearing drive, high traction tires and a lead free powder coat finish. Movable crank, chrome accents and faux convertible top add the perfect finishing touches. Recommended for children ages 3-6. Allow your child to rock instead of pedal with the optional rocker that easily attached and detaches. Some Assembly Required.

haha, I actually just did that telling him about the fire engine and everything; he gave me a little smirk and then turned around ...well I do have another year before DS could use it, I guess I have some time to work on him

I think it's adorable. the seat is adjustable so it can grow with her for a few years.

Re: Honest Opinions Needed - with Pic

I love it! But....... What if you ever have another child or you want to pass it on to another child outside your family? Maybe you could get it in red or another neutral color??

I speak from experience. My 17 month old DS drives 2 pink cars and pushes a pink shopping cart.

Re: Honest Opinions Needed - with Pic

I love it.
But I'm a big fan of these vintage type cars.

For anyone looking for the fire engine Agnew & Taylor on Hawkins Ave (Exit 60 on the LIE) has one in their window.
Along with a plane and police car.
They've been selling these for years. Not sure of the cost, but it may be worth checking out.

I came across this site if you are thinking gender neutral

Re: Honest Opinions Needed - with Pic

Re: Honest Opinions Needed - with Pic

I think it would depend on the weight limit for me.
