I bought this for my grandson for his 4th birthday.  Maybe it was a little too soon for him, but I can say that I was pleased with the product.  It is built well, and easy to use.  As I was teaching him to ride, I managed to sneak in a little ride myself ;)!  And though it isn't made to hold my weight, it did hold me, and it was fun!! Not bad for an "old head" like me!!!
