I wish it had a volume adjustment! This was a gift for my niece who is 18mos and she is small so she will get lots more use out of it, yay! It may even be helping in getting her to be more vocal. Should be a great toy for 2 year olds!

My daughter doesn’t play with this as much as I hoped, BUT I think it’s just something she’ll grow into. She’s 22mths now. I have no buyers remorse. She pulls it out every couple days, but it doesn’t hold her attention for very long.

PURCHASED FOR GRANDSON WHO IS ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD. HE RIDES IT EVERYDAY WHICH IS GREAT FOR INDOOR PLAY. THEY COULD IMPROVE THIS PRODUCT BY ALLOWING VOLUME ADJUSTMENTS. GREAT TOY.

My daughter got this for Christmas, and it’s not her favorite toy but it’s cute. She has definitely learned how to pedal by using it, which will be nice this spring for her tricycle! It comes with a little LCD screen that in different modes either shows letters or animals. When you pedal the screen changes animals/letters, and when you stop pedaling the toy will tell you more about whatever you landed on.

Pros: It’s a stationary toy that teaches pedaling. It’s been hard for my daughter to learn pedaling on her tricycle as it’s moving, and having a toy that does not move has been great for that. I know it’s not the intended purpose, but it’s a nice bonus! It is educational, but I don’t think it will hold her interest for long. I wish it were a little more interactive, or that there were more pedaling games on it. Right now she loses interest after about 5 minutes.

Cons: Wow, it’s loud! A volume control would be great. Again, I also wish it were a little more interactive or could “grow” with the child.

If you can find it on sale it’s a nice addition.

This toy was given to my two year old on his birthday. It was difficult for him at first but he has improved his balance and coordination trying to pedal. He only spends short amounts of time on it but this is true with most things. It is also quite cute to hear him repeating the alphabet as it sings to him especially since he is a little boy not wanting to talk very much. I think it is great for his age as it does challenge him. I wish the music had a volume button as it is a little loud. It is light enough that he can drag to other rooms. Another reviewer said is was boring for his 4 year old and my little guy will probably be done with it by then but for right now he is enjoying it.
