 Love this Gator! October 30, 2008

I love this gator so much, I just purchased my second one. I have 3 boys and the kids ride the gator around the neighborhood, load of their fishing items and go to the pond, plus help with landscaping etc. around the house while loading up the back of the gator. My 2 1/2 year old drives it like a pro. I have been VERY pleased with this gator. It is fun and functional for the kids. I would highly recommend this product to anyone! My boys LOVE this item! From a mother's stand point, it keeps my kids (and the neighbor kids) entertained for hours!

We just got this put together for spring and the kids LOVE it! They played on it nonstop for 2 hours and 15 mins before the batt died. This is the absolute hands down best ride-on I've bought for them - ever. That includes all the barbie jeeps, corvettes, and wally world specials I've gone through. Let's break it down:
Pros:
Very fast in 2nd gear - It'll move it. Put any pets up for their sanity.
Battery lasts 2 hours - We had 160 lbs of kids riding this thing for 2 hours and 15 mins before it died. They rode on rocks and rough terrain mixed with grass and smooth stuff and I was very surprised it worked that long.
We did charge it for 48 hours before the first run, so maybe that juiced it up nicely.
Dump feature - works well but doesn't dump all the way for small things like dirt.
Traction - This thing climbs over rocks, grass, dirt, pretty much anything reasonable for a child's toy. Spun out occasionally with only one kid in it but that wasn't a problem because once one played with it they all joined in.
Cons:
Horrible instructions - Just pictures of screws and general areas of the toy. Best of luck! And the stickers are misnumbered. I think everyone gets different numbers just to mess with you while you're putting stickers on it.
Cheap plastic bed with false support - There's a metal bar that runs along the top of the bed that supports it and keeps it from bending when you lean on it or put stuff in the bed. It's not bracketed to anything though and breaks off in the first half hour. Fail.
Batter compartment - Way too difficult to pull the battery out. Could have made it much easier.
No seat belts - IDK if it's not on the newer version or if they just weren't included, but mine didn't have seatbelts. No biggie since even our 2 yr old can hang on just fine.
Turning radius - Turns in about 20 feet of space. Could have halved that and still made it safe for kids.
All in all it's a great toy, even if it's got a few flaws. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat, though I think I might try the motorcycle battery idea some others suggested for longer battery life. Will report on that later this week!

I bought 2 of these for my 2 boys and they are going nuts over them. They are very good in the grass, better on grass then on asphalt. The price is great at amazon to. A little rubber would be better on the tires but the company has not figured that out yet. The battery has gone a hour so far while in high gear and it should go alot father. My kids have 2 other cars and the Peg Perego motorcycle and by far the Peg Perego products are much better. You also get a 2 year warranty.
Great Toy, but...... January 7, 2009

This is really a great toy. Not too much trouble to assemble although some written instructions in addition to the drawings would have been nice. My only complaint is that contrary to what it says one the box...IT IS NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR AN 8 YEAR OLD!! It is not even big enough for our 6 year old granddaughter. This was a gift for both of our grandchildren (one is 1 and 1/2) or I would just return it.

This thing is awesome! The battery is easy to get to, it was easy to assemble, and our son loves it. The best part is seeing our 2 year old put the thing in reverse to get himself out of a hole. They catch on quick.
