I bought 2 of these for my 2 kids for christmas (20 months and 3 1/2)  my husband and i were really excited cause they were the big santa gift.  We bought them plastic license plates with their names on them.  We waited ti; 2 nights before christmas to put these together because we didn't have a place to hide 2 of these.  Good thing we didn't wait til christmas eve like we were planning (i was paranoid they might be missing a piece)  Well, they weren't missing any pieces.  the first one took my husband and i, (together) over an hour to put together.  The instructions are the worst thing i'd ever seen.  There are NO words and you can't even understand the pictures; They skip steps and expect you to know what to do.  After we finally got through the first we were ready to tackle the second.  Well, it was faster.  15 minutes in we were on like the second to last step, and two of the pieces would not fit together.  We tried everything. Frustrated, I woke up at 6am christmas eve morn to go to walmart to exchange.  Guess what, i had the exact same problem.  Returned again, and they were out.  Went to toysrus and the SAME THING.  Okay now i'm peeved.  (my husband had been from square one)  then finally got another and it worked.  My daughter is actually almost too big for it (ages go up to 5) shes 3 1/2 and small for her age.  hers doesn't get any use and my son will sit in it and turn the wheel, but not move his feet because they get stuck under his seat.  i bought them  the matching gas pump and my son loves to put gas in his and his sisters car, but still they never actually get 'driven.'
