I bought this for my son's 3yo birthday. It is by far his favorite toy. We've used it to move sticks, dirt, tools, etc (for fun of course). In 6-7 months we had some problems with the shifter and actually a broken steering wheel (100% not a faulty part - son broke it by accident) - both GARVEE replaced without issue. I couldn't ask for better service.I'm hoping we can keep it going until his younger brother is old enough to ride it, but we would happily buy another if need be.
