My husband bought this for our son's 1st birthday and he wasn't interested in it. It states that it is for 12 months and up so I figured maybe we just needed to wait a bit. Well, he is now 18 months and has on a few occasions gotten onto the roadster to try it out...but he is then easily bored with it because he can only go straight. He'll soon run into whatever is in his way and can't turn it so he'll get off. Even if I go alongside next to him to try to turn it for him, it's hard. One of the features that I will look for in his NEXT ride-on toy will be "manuervability".

I purchased the Radio Flyer Roadster for my grandson's first birthday. By the end of the party, he had learned how to go forwards and backwards. He loved the easy-to-push beep-beep horn. The Roadster is built with the Radio Flyer quality of old and will probably last into the next generation. They just don't make toys like this much anymore...no huge day-glo plastic monster...just a little piece of yesterday that will last a lifetime.

OK - full disclosure...I didn't buy this new. In fact, I got it *very* used. However, Radio Flyer makes their products practically indestructible, and you'd never know how "well loved" this roadster has been. Paint, seat, steering, and even the horn has held up to master-level abuse. Plus, I've had to pry my 12-month daughter off of it with a crowbar ever since she first laid hands on it. It is the *perfect* size for her. Admittedly, she's tall for 12 months, but her feet touch the ground on both sides and she can get on and off easily by herself (which she can't do with most other riding toys). It took her about five minutes to figure out how to "scoot" it forward and backwards. Steering is still a foreign concept, but she's young yet! I really like that its incredibly sturdy, yet light enough that even I can pick it up easily (~14 lbs, but its not unwieldy, so it feels like less). We use it outside, but theoretically it can be used indoors as well. The wheels are rubber, so it shouldn't scratch floors, and the body is nicely rounded. Nonetheless, I remain a bit leery of the possible fate of our dining room table if pitted against a steel car frame (particularly once my daughter gets older and figures out how to produce some serious speed). Since we use the roadster as an outdoor toy, the turning radius issue mentioned by others isn't an issue for us. In fact, I view it as a bonus feature as it makes it less likely for her to be accidentally thrown off as she learns to steer (warning - BE VERY CAREFUL ON PAVED INCLINES - a kid can and will pick up speed). I'm told that the roadster will eventually rust if you let it get rained on. However, so far, periodic dampness hasn't seemed to noticeably hurt it. Plus, on top of everything else stated above, it just looks sooooo cool! All in all, I'm incredibly pleased.

I bought this for my little guy when all other ride on toys could not entice him. He loves it! It is easy for him to maneuver, and the horn makes a nice loud "honk". So retro cool. And what a bright red! Sturdy metal construction; forget plastic toys, YUK! This little car will age so well. I would recommend this toy to any parent who appreciates the classics. Your kids will look cool and have tons of fun!
