I’m going to give this car 5 stars despite the car flipping on the first drive because I feel like any of these cars could flip under the right circumstances. It scared the living crap out of me. My 6 year old and 2 year old had both managed to fit in the seat. My 6 year old was driving and accidently ran over the base of our portable basketball hoop which is several inches high. The car flipped completely over. They ended up with bottom of the car belly up. The boys were surprisingly fine. If you get this car, just be aware of that issue. It completely rolled. Since then, my son had been careful not to run over things that could make the car flip.

In terms of the car itself, I struggled over which one to buy. I wanted a seat big enough to fit 2 kids but also have a remote. There was only one car available that had both which is not this one. Looking at all of the recent reviews, I noted in that other brand there were far more 1 Star recent reviews than anything else which made me nervous so I didn’t go with them. I went with this brand instead and glad I did. It is not made to fit 2 kids which is the only thing I dislike about the car. Set up was super easy and took me no time at all. My only complaint was one of the holes weren’t lined up perfectly and it took some muscle power to get the screw thru all 4 holes. This was the back axle. Only one side the hole was messed up ever so slightly.

Once I got it up and running ... the car has been great. The remote works perfectly. My 2 year old hasn’t mastered the art of steering so on occasion he needs help not running into things like parked cars. The remote is seriously a life saver. He is able to hold and keep the pedal down to drive it on his own. We have had no issues at all with its performance granted we are on day 1. Our 2 year old has been in the car for hours so far today and it still hasn’t run out of battery.

If anything changes, I will update. So far, I love this car and more importantly my 2 year old does as this was his birthday present.

This was an amazing gift for my twin granddaughters. They are nice and durable. I love that the doors are magnetic so that they are able to open up themselves without assistance. It mimics a jeep perfectly. The lights are super bright. Its nice and jacked up for extra ground clearance. Its perfect for their age group which they are 3. Love that your able to control it with the remote because they are not quite capable just yet on their own. Love that it has a rear bumper like handle to pick it up easily if need to load it up. We got 2 one purple and one pink and they love it! Worth the price.

Excellent little car my 3 year old granddaughter loves it and it’s well built easy to put together and the parental controls make it easy to enjoy for smaller children that have not learned to maneuver around in it yet

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my son! He absolutely loves it. Overall I think it’s a great product and the set up was very easy. I love that it comes with a remote so I can drive it for him since he hasn’t quite grasped that yet. It has 3 speed settings which is also great and the highest setting isn’t too fast! I have a super bumpy yard and it drives over the bumps no problem at all. The Bluetooth feature is really cool - I connect my phone and as long as it stays in the car with him it will play can’t be too far from it or it will disconnect. Radio is an option too which is awesome but volume doesn’t get super loud. The only complaint I have is the battery life. With a full charge it will drive for maybe 35 mins tops. It does have to be charged after every use or it won’t get far the next day. For the price I do wish the battery life was longer but I think everything else about it is great. My son is almost 3 he was 2 1/2 when he got it and at the time I thought he was a little young but it’s been a favorite of his since Christmas. There’s a buckle so he’s pretty secure in there! He’s driven it a ton of times and so far no cracks or issues so I’d say it’s very durable. If you’re on the fence I would go for it!

First, the good. My nephew is 1.5 years old, so well under the 3 years recommended, and he lives in the country where it's hilly- so the remote control was critical both because he's young to operate it and don't want him driving down any banks! It's not recommended to run in dirt, but it seems to do fine. The spring suspension is pretty crude, better than nothing over bumps though. Also, everyone loves it! The kid was so excited, and loves riding around in it even though you need to drive him around with the remote.

The bad- I can see how if you were utterly lacking any sort of mechanical inclination that there could be problems. I noted the following potential issues:

- The rear wheels are made from two halves glued together. On one wheel, the halves weren't aligned that great but gave it a little slap and it went on the axle anyway.

- Part E "frame" piece on the right side has the screw hole in the wrong side from the diagram, perhaps not obvious to some people.

- The tail light wires on mine ran right under those same frame pieces, so I bent those wires out of the way before inserting the frame pieces to avoid breaking the wires (I saw a 1 star review where the tail lights didn't work, I'm guessing they weren't careful about this).

- The motor wires hang from the undercarriage, so if you drive through any vegetation (and let's face it, most of us are going to do that) there's the potential to catch and yank those wires out. Tape them up out of the way during assembly.

- The remote steering is pretty drastic. There's no gentle steering with it. Same with letting off the gas.

The last thing, and which I think caused a very large amount of the 1 star reviews- it uses a lead acid battery. These are great batteries if you keep them charged, don't overcharge them, don't run them flat, and don't let them sit ignored for months and months. If you buy a lead acid battery at Christmas and let it sit until May, don't expect to be happy about its lack of performance. If you put it on the charger and forget about it for days- bad news. If you let junior ride the car until it quits, then forget to charge it, ride until it quits again- you're doing some damage. They're cheap and they're reliable if you're nice to them, which is why this car doesn't cost a lot more. So for the price I don't think it's fair to complain about the battery type.

Well my kids both love it (3 and 5). I now have to get another one . . . And my sister now has to get one for my nephew. It is a great toy. I did have some questions that I could not find definitive answers on this toy. Now that i have used it I hope the below feedback will help.

Does it work on grass? Yes. We live out in a farming area. The kids drive it through short grass, over gravel, obviously over cement. Would definitly drive in a mowed yard.

The time of use after a full charge seems to be about 1 1/2 hours on average (does vary a bit). You can tell when it starts getting low as it gets slower. I would be interested to see if you can order another battery and install it to double the usable time.

The controller is a lot of fun, we strap the nephews in and drive em around. There is a limit on the distance the remote is effective at. If you are in a back yard you will be fine. If your five year old daughter is driving through a big field and you decide to try to use the remote to take control it probably wont work.

It can of course get stuck on a hill or rocks, or mud or very wet grass - the tires are plastic after all, not rubber. but overall it is pretty impressive how it gets around through various terrains.

Putting it together is suprisingly easy. I made sure I had a mechanically minded friend over - turned out that was not necessary. I've put together dollhouses far more complicated then this. Took 2 people about 25 minutes. You do then need to charge it for 12 hours before first use, so keep that in mind if it is a gift.

As far as the radio goes - it works. Its a bit complicated as it seems to go through all the channels available every time you start it up and then preset based on available channels. I find it complicated - my 5 year old therefore does not use it. Says it came with preset songs but we havent found any. And though it looks like there is a port for a phone - well my five year old doesn't have a phone and there is no way I'm sticking my i phone on that jeep and letting them take it out into the field. So the "sound system" could maybe use some work.

Otherwise great product. Wish they were around when I was a kid.

So I have many things I’m not happy about and I wasn’t even gunna complain about it because it really is the only power wheels that works for us here. We don’t have an asphalt driveway, it’s rock, and we live on a farm so it’s mostly grass so this ride really does good on grass and what not...

here’s what I’m upset about though. I’ll start from the beginning. When we ordered this it was a guaranteed delivery by Wednesday. (We either ordered it on that Saturday or Sunday before) Well Wednesday comes and long story short it didn’t come. I went to check my order status and seen there was no tracking info... so I called amazon who then contacted BCP, who then contacted me and pretty much gave me the worst response... On top of the god awful reply I got, THEY HADENT EVEN SHIPPED IT OUT YET!! so then it was suppose to be here Friday, which then turned into it showing up on Saturday.... I was upset and still BCP gave me, what seemed like, another automated GOD awful reply through email.... I kind of was just like whatever at that point. We were just happy it was finally here and my son was super excited... anyways, it gets here and the back light is broken and hanging off by a wire, and there’s screws all over the place... again, I let it slide since my son was just way to excited and I wasn’t gunna go through the process of sending it back OR EVEN sending them an email bc I would have just got another cruddy reply.... so we let it charge for the full time and it runs great. Then I go to use the remote to turn my son around andddd it barely works at all... what I mean is, when I go to turn him around HE IS ABLE TO turn away and keep on going in the direction he’s going. Like I said earlier we live on a farm so it’s not hard for him to start to go far, which is why I was most excited about the remote, and it ended up just being another thing to add to the list of disappointments with this car. So after about a week of him using it and us charging it over night, the battery now only last for about an hour AT MAX ! I’ll never EVER order a BCP again. We spent all that money for what? Them to not ship it on time? The car to come with a broken headlight? Get a cruddy remote and battery? Yeah, never again. I would have felt way better about this if their customer service was at least up to par but it’s not. so, you guys make your own decision on whether you want to buy it or not. But for me, this is the last time they’ll get a dime from us.

UPDATE 01/16/20

I meant to update this a while ago but I had forgotten. Anyways, acouple of months after we got this, maybe 2-3 months, the battery went bad. the battery was only letting it run for about 10 minutes, so we had to buy a replacement one. Again, I still feel as I did when I posted this. It’s junk.

I purchased this car as a Christmas gift for my two and four year old grandchildren. Four months later, they still love it and play on it often. I debated as this is a costly item, but I am glad I bought it. The remote control has been a great added feature. I highly recommend.
