We thought this toy was ideal, a really neat idea, especially being adjustable. Our 2-year-old was totally extatic about it. Unfortunately, ours came out of the box broken. None of the sounds on the steering wheel worked, nor did the speed button. The bouncy seat isn't bouncy, and it seems generally kind of flimsy. I'm sure the shifter would be the first piece to break. I'm really glad we didn't get this via mail order, as we had to return it. Really too bad it wasn't better manufactured.
