    Great fun, but age recommendation off, parts easy to get if needed
    By C. Hall
    This is my opinion only, to help those unsure about what ages are best for this cart. We purchased this for my son, an average slim caucasian 6 year old boy for his birthday. Once we had it, I wished we had gotten it at least a year earlier based on its size. By 7, he was already well past optimal size. By 8.5, he was really just too big for it. His younger sister, who is larger for her age, began driving it at the low speed when she was 3.5 or so, with her 7.5 brother riding with her, in fenced private open space with few hazards. The younger limit is really more about the child's ability and judgement in handling the car, and more importantly, parental good sense and judgement. After learning and experience with her brother, she was driving it solo, at high, and with her younger sister as passenger, at low, by 4.5 to 5 or so, with close parental oversight, in fenced private open space with few hazards. I would say for an average individual child, buying it much younger than 4.5 to 5 requires very diligent supervision, and buying it much older than 7 would make it hard to get your money's worth before they start looking like a monkey on a matchbox car.
    I will not speak to the reliability of my cart, because the newer model has the same basic body and size, but better upgraded electrical components, which were a huge problem in the older version. We have basically had to replace most all of the electrical components to those which now come standard on the new version, i.e. 350 watt motors vs. 250 watt motors, etc., etc. Fortunately the replacement parts are readily available on the Internet, but not Amazon so much, and not as expensive as I would have expected, except for the battery, which alone cost more than replacing the 2 motors, 2 gearboxes, and 100% all other electrical components combined at this writing. Fortunately our battery has held up very well. We replaced the charger with a 24 volt Battery Tender Charger/Maintainer that we bought on Amazon when the factory charger quit. I now view the factory charger quitting as fortunate, given the price of the battery, and the vastly superior replacement charger. I would highly recommend buying the better charger a soon as possible. You have to adapt the connector. I cut the wire and plug from the old dead charger and put a standard charger plug on the cord and it works fine. Some people instead replace the plugs on the cart and battery with standard battery charger plugs, but since my factory charger was smoked anyway, I took the easier route. I took one star off for overall quality control, which is quite generous, I think, given our actual experience. But the new components, now standard, are much better, and this is a unique, one of a kind, best in a class all its own kind of product. The kids do love to ride it, and it is fun to see them have that much fun!
    I didn't plan to write a book, but I hope some of this is helpful. Thanks.

    Not Sturdy
    By Athena277
    My mother in law recently wanted to purchase a ride on toy for my son who occasionally visits her on weekends. I highly suggested Peg Perego based on reputation, quality and the fact that it is made in the USA. We have a Gator for our son at home. She purchased the RZR 900 for his birthday, March 18th. After only 3 rides, the steering wheel would no longer turn. She followed instructions and took it to an authorized repair center last week. She was notified today that the front end of the toy had a crack and that it could not be fixed; the company would not replace the toy. Quite frankly any toy that breaks after the first 3 rides is an inferior product. The toy had clearly not been overused or abused in anyway; not a speck of dirt on it. I am very disappointed that Peg Perego claims to be a family based company in which "Every step in the process, from engineering, to production, to shipping, is performed by Peg Perego and no one else--ensuring our customers get top quality products." And yet, clearly a top quality product does not break after three rides with a 5 year old who is well within the size limitations of the product. Is Peg Perego not willing to live up to its claims of quality and stand behind its product? Clearly a crack in the front end after three rides and no abuse must be an inferior product. Either way the item should be replaced when it has been owned less than 30 days. I feel very badly that I recommended this brand to anyone. *****I just found out in speaking to someone I know would fixes ride on toys that Peg Perego is known for not fixing and/or replacing its products. I was also told that Power Wheels replaces and/or reimburses products in these situations with no questions asked. *****

    My 6 yr old grandson loves it!!
    By Jean M. Wheeler
    My grandson loves it. He is small for his age, and it states it fits 6-10 yr olds, but I don't think he'll be able to use it until he is 10 yrs. old. The position of the "gas pedal" is perfect right now, and when he gets taller and closer to 8 or 9 yrs old I think it will be a tight fit. It does work great otherwise though. The rubber strips do help get up hills better than his "Gator" did without the rubber strips. His gator would spin on small hills and we would have to put a cement block in the dump box to add weight so he could get up the hills on the slow speed. I think if the rubber strips on the wheels were wider it would get even better traction. We haven't tried the fastest speed yet but I'm sure it won't have ANY problems climbing hills then in the higher speed! Overall we are very happy with it so far.
