Well-made, fairly easy to assemble (takes about 30 mins to assemble), has enough power to haul through grass and other surfaces sufficiently. Comes with charger, hardware, and instructions. The remote control is a huge plus...the kids enjoy controlling it with the remote as much as being in it and driving.Bells and whistles include a fully functional AM/FM radio, head lights, and light-up interior gauges.Would've been a solid 5-star if it had more power, doesn't seem quite as fast/powerful as some of the 12V Power Wheels vehicles of similar size. Also the charge times are fairly long, 12-18 hrs. Definitely a 1-seater instead of a 2-seater, not quite enough space for 2 kids to squeeze in. During assembly, I had to drill out the rectangular bar that serves as the rear axle because a bolt wouldn't quite go through due to pre-drilled holes being misaligned. Other than that, the product construction is pretty good.Overall a very nice battery-powered little truck that will run for 1-2 hrs before a recharge, plenty of fun for kids aged 2-10 yr old. Most 10-yr olds would likely run a little large to fit in the truck itself, but could still enjoy remote controlling a younger sibling or pet instead of sitting inside and driving. At the time of the post, I have 3 kids, ages 4, 6, and 8, all 3 love this truck and have spent hours driving it or remote controlling. My 6 and 8 yr olds (boys) especially enjoy towing things using the little handle on the back. Very nice product and a great buy, has more bells and whistles than Power Wheels of similar size and price.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this for my daughters second birthday, so far we’ve used it multiple times and she absolutely loves it! The remote that comes with it is also very easy to use! The only issue I’d say is that it dies pretty fast after riding it for maybe an hour or two, to me that’s fine for now because it’s hot as ever outside lol but in the future just gonna get a better stronger one and it’ll be fine.. I’d say worth the price!! It was a little complicated putting it together but figured it out in the end.. if you’re looking for your kids first big toy this is a win in my books 🎯

I have had this product for about a week now and I would rate it 4 stars out of the box. It works well and looks great, but a couple issues I have are that the wiring is cheap and too thin to last very long, which makes me happy that I bought the warranty for this product. The battery seems pretty small for something that has a remote, radio, lights, and moves. The seatbelt is useless because of how it’s strapped on and the seat has 4 screw slots under it but only 2 small screws that go into the seat. The assembly instructions are terrible and don’t offer much help, but the video makes it simple. I assembled this in less than 45 minutes. Also my main issue is that there is no light to show if it is charging. Sure, I know it is because the Jeep won’t power on while on a charger and I can see what the voltage is at by unplugging it and turning it back on, but it should have some sort of light showing that there’s a charge in progress, full charger, and charging malfunction. I’m not really sure what a full charge is even though I know it’s a 12v battery or how long it takes to charge it, all I will say is don’t charge it until it won’t move and make sure you charge it fully before using again (leave it plugged in overnight) to help with battery life. I will update this edit as time goes on, but so far I really like this product, it leaves a little more to be desired but for the price I’d buy it again.

Sorry this review is long, but it’s a thorough and honest one. So this is a cool rideable Jeep! Definitely the best priced one available, however there are some cheaper elements to this car. For starters, the power cable that attaches from the battery to the motor was broken right out of the box, but luckily my husband is very handy and was able to solder it back on and make it work. Secondly, the remote is not the most high end. It works, so I won’t complain too much, however we had a rocky start with it. For some reason it kept unpairing randomly during use and I would have to remove the batteries and re-pair it with the Jeep several times in the span of 15 minutes. But after a day or so of that it finally remained paired and now is working just fine. And I must say, the range on the thing is pretty dang impressive! The Jeep itself runs great and romps right over the grassy and dirt areas of our yard, even little hills and rocks. If you need more power to get over something just increase the speed setting and it will do it! The headlights light up and it has a functioning radio with preloaded songs, or you can use a usb cable to attach a phone or ipod for music. There are buttons on the steering wheel to change songs and honk the “horn”. Also, for assembly I would recommend watching the instructional video on Best Choice Products website. Honestly, for the price it was a great buy and my 15 month old son absolutely loves to ride in it!! He has a blast. Just a warning, you may have some problems to fix right out of the box, but if you don’t mind fixing things then I’d say buy it!

I will update in a month after giving it a fair trial. For now I gave 4 stars until further notice. The packaging was great, the product in good condition and every thing was accounted for. I began assembling by myself at 8:40 expecting it to take 2 hrs and finished at 10:04. This is my first time assembling a large toy. Manual was super easy to fallow and all the holes aligned well. Only need a screw driver. Charging it over night and suprising my son with it tomorrow. Cant wait to see how it does. Oh also not mentioned on here I discovered a plastic pc in center front under seat that I believe can be used for a 5 point harness and in back of seat two holes that could be to attach a 5 point harness strap. Which I do plan to buy for my 22 month old and if it works out for the plan as it appears it should I'll have pictures of it during my update. I just wish the bar lights and other 2 front search lights? Worked.

I have had this product for just about three months now, my son received it for his first birthday present. He absolutely loves it and demands to ride in it everyday! It is recommended for ages 3+ but my son has had no problem sitting in it while I drive him. It has one strap that goes across the lap (which is perfect for ages 3+ but my baby really needs should straps). It has the option for the kid to drive it or for the parent to drive it which I love. We live out in the country and we have had no problem driving this through grass, rocky roads, piles of dirt, through the fields, etc. You can play the radio and even sync it up with your phone or iPad which is awesome because my son loves music! We have two acres that we let him ride around and have not yet done out of distance from the remote on our two acres.The reason I only gave it four stars:The power button is displayed on the dash with a bright red button; this bright red button is so tempting to my LO who usually pushes it to turn it off right around the time he gets the farthest away from me. I wish there was a power button on the remote for instances like this so I won't have to walk out to him to turn it back on. Also, the past week or so the remote has been glitching and not working -the foot petals still work though. We thought it just needed new batteries at first but we have changed the batteries several times and it still occasionally quirts working. We may have to end up calling the manufacturer about this because this is too expensive to just sit in the garage until baby is big enough to drive himself.

I have 5 children. We have bought a lot of ride ons. This is by far my favorite. The speed, power and battery life are great. He drives it on the drive way and through the grass without a problem. The remote control, radio and lights are fun features that work well. I like the storage under the front hood. It's a great place to keep the remote and charging cable. It's also a fun place for him to haul whatever he brings along. The readout showing the battery voltage gives us a good idea of how much longer he can play before charging.My ONLY negative for this is the front axle. It is held in by two metal plates with four screws in each plate. They screw into PLASTIC. Over time these holes ream out and the screws fall out causing the axle to come loose. We have Macgyver'ed a solution, but it was a pain. I wish there was a metal bracket that it screwed into to keep it more secure. That's my only complaint. Overall, it's great!

We followed instructions, charged it for 12 hours before initial use. It became unresponsive 3 times on a first day. Completely frozen. It had electricity, but it completely froze unresponsive. Remote was going crazy blinking up and down, which makes me suspicious the issue was due to the remote. We'll test again, if it malfunctions like that again, we will be returning jeep'a and asking for a refund. This is really big disappointment as it was a birthday gift for my baby daughter.Update: we were able to confirm that the issue is with the remote, not the jeep. So, I'm actually upgrading my feedback up to 4 stars now. Jeep runs great. No issues. To my surprise, it actually climbs ver well steep drive-ups. Battery lasts well so far, but again I follow instructions to the last letter. We've decided to keep it as it turns out to be a lot of fun for our daughter.

Easy to assemble. A bit smaller than I imagined.

I can’t say enough great things about this. After about two serious of seriously heavy use, the battery is going out. Instead of easily wiring a new one in i May just buy a new one so it’s fresh. We tricked ours out with a few cosmetic upgrades and easily wired in a second battery. With both batteries plugged in, we have drove this thing on heavy, muddy trails for about 2.5 miles and 6 hours of continuous use and it KEPT going. Even made it through a little stream! The remote is a very long range (tested at about 150ft in wide open grass) and connection was solid. I like how the remote has 3 speeds and an easy stop button. This will have an issue with going up somewhat steep hills in which it’ll just shut off so be mindful of that. I’ve even attached a 40lb wagon to the back that carried some supplies for our hike and it was great. My wife sometimes sits inside with our child and it will go uphills and everything. Seriously an awesome little Jeep. Grass? No problem, just use it on the 2-3 speed setting. There are two minor issues with this thing though and they are 1)it takes a second to get going once you push the forward remote button and 2)while driving with the remote, the wheels don’t “reset” back to straight. They kinda stay where you last set the turn and, even then, if you hold L or R on the remote, it kinda loses that direction after a second and you have to press it again. It’s hard to explain but it can be a big issue if you’re driving it on, say, a sidewalk and need to make a turn in which it will lose your direction and go “straight”. Another tiny nuisance i that the radio is a bit hard to navigate (there are instructions online). And note that the only lights that toggle are the two big headlights and the two back red “brake” lights. Other than those issues, it’s great.
