I was hesitant to buy a ride on toy because my fear was we would be far from home and it would stop working and then im having to push this thing with my toddler inside while carrying my 3 month old..I'm sure with the amount of stars accompanying this review you know what happened next.I was sold on the parent remote that this comes with, thinking I could over power a stubborn toddler and drive it home when I knew it would need a charge so we wouldn't get stuck. We'll 15 houses down from ours, the car just completely stopped moving. It had power and a full charge. The music was playing, lights on, but wheels not turning. The parent remote just blinked showing it wasn't able to connect to the jeep so we were completely immobile. Turning the car off, disconnecting batteries etc did nothing. Pushed the car 10 houses, then tried again...nothing. finally got this thing in the driveway and it decided to move again like nothing happened. I live on a flat street, no hills and all sidewalks. Disappointing. This happened again on rides 2 and 3, no reason that I can tell. Frustrating considering the price and many 5 star reviews. Wish I had one of their experiences. The jeep does look nice and the radio is fun, but not reliable if you have other young kids to carry.

Love the Jeep. It’s great, however the seat belt sucks. It sits at the knee almost. Going to have to install one on our own somehow

This is a very good product for its price but I did find a couple of things that I did not consider when I bought it and wanted to share for the other customers.- The acceleration/deceleration bump will make your kid shake. When you let go of the pedal or the remote control acceleration button, the car instantly stops running and causes your kid to go back and forth so make sure you put the seatbelt on.- The plastic wheels slide too easily on concrete or pavement so make sure you practice a little bit with the remote before letting your kid rid on it.- No suspension which propagates the bumps on the road directly to the driver.- The battery life is really good and it will allow you to go for a walk with your kid on the car. I've taken my kid on a good 30+ minutes walk and it came back home with problem but since there is no way to determine the charge on the battery, then make sure you fully charge it before going out.- The seat has no cushion so your kid will get tired of sitting on a hard seat sooner than later.Other than that, it's a good electric car for kids as a toy. It has good traction which will allow us to use it for a couple of years and pass it on to my second child. If I knew these things before I bought it, I would have probably spent a couple more bucks and get another model that takes care of them. I know there are other models that control the acceleration of the motors and make an easier and more enjoyable ride.

The media could not be loaded. Out of the box, one of the buttons on steering wheel is broke, tachometer was hanging out, and hood has scratches. Our 3year old is really scared of it. The engine sound it makes when you start it is really loud and obnoxious! Wish there was an option to turn this on or off. Very tall also, he could not get in our out of it himself.I did reach out to customer care to see if we can get new steering wheel and hood, so will post another update with their response once we have it.Other than that, it’s super cool. Cant wait till he gets the courage :).

Updated review:We received the machine missing components critical to operation - the front axle and all wheels. After sending a message through Amazon which did not receive a response we reached out to Best Choice Products through their website. The correct components were shipped out and received in a couple days.Once assembled the unit is definitely both feature rich but less solid than Power Wheels. Every plastic component has a fair amount of play due to loose tolerances. The front wheels are out of alignment with each other a couple degrees, but not enough to cause issues. Battery life seems very poor with only one SLA battery that is not very large.The most confounding part of the battery battery design is that it is glued at several spots and is clearly not designed to be removed. This means the battery cannot be removed for charging. Instead you must pull the dead machine close to a charging outlet.There are parts of this our son loves over his sister's Power Wheels. Both children absolutely cannot get enough of the radio. The overall appearance of the unit is quite nice.The battery life seems very poor but the LED lights and radio do not help the matter. There is a second spot that looks designed to have a second battery installed. With some minor electrical work it may be possible to drop in a second battery but we have not confirmed as the control board for the unit does not look to be designed for this. Maybe there is another model where this is in place?The seat belt is useful with an unruly child. Our Power Wheels Frozen keep lacks this feature.The remote is ok and the primary reason we purchased this unit. Our son loves to go hands free and has intentionally slammed into a tree once. The remote works but is sporadic on turning. Holding down the turning buttons seems to lose communication after a second or so. Perhaps our battery was dying or out of rangeThe machine itself seems sturdy. The shock absorption items are interesting. However the shocks seem to do little as the springs are very stiff. This may loosen up over time.Original review:We received this unit and upon opening box began assembly. The unit was well packaged overall but was missing some key components:All wheelsFront axleAxle frameI'm not certain how these get missed but it is a sign of poor quality control. I have reached out to the seller to remedy this. I will updated the review once I have received the components.

This truck was so amazing until it stopped working a few days after purchased. I really wanted for it to work and was almost tempered to exchange it for another hoping I might have gotten a defective one. Despite the major issue I had, I still consider it by far the best power truck when it functioned. I'm disappointed that it stopped working and I had to return it.

The radio works great, and it all looks amazing ! I love the remote control it has. The assembly took a little while, but it was super easy. The only bad thing is that the steering in horrible. We’re adjusted the front axel to allow more steering, but it still doesn’t turn well whatsoever. If I had known this I probably wouldn’t of gotten it.

Overall, decent quality for the price... That said, I found out that the torque from transitioning between forward or reverse or vise versa has a tendency of popping the front end up or if your on any type of incline there is a high probability of flipping this toy vehicle. Parents/operator beware. As long as you keep it on a level surface you should be good.
