Power Wheels Ford F-150

Kids can take off on a real driving adventure in the Power Wheels Ford F-150. With realistic side-view mirrors, built-in windshield, and roomy truck bed, kids will feel like they’re driving a real truck! They can even lift up the hood to find a realistic truck “engine”. Adding to the excitement, the truck’s big, rugged tires make it easy for kids to take their adventures off road too!

here is a comment from a buyer  :

-          My son loves cars, trucks, trains etc. and wants to drive our real cars, so I thought this would be a perfect substitute, his own car! I bought this for his second birthday, the first day he was unsure about it, but by the next day he was zipping all over the driveway, the yard and sidewalk. This is a great toy. The battery last about 2 1/2 days (my son only drives it about a maximum of an hour a day and I leave it unplugged/not charging) and by the third day I have to charge it. The only thing he had to learn is to press the button for reverse. For the first few months he would only drive forward but after working with him to understand the concept of backing up he got it. It doesn't go that fast (about 3mph), but it is fast enough for his age.

Riding Bicycle

Can ride a bike for this condition has now become imperative as a means of transportation. However, associated with the development of our baby, play / ride bikes is one form of game that can train the child's balance, motor coordination that is  honed limbs like arms, legs, body and eyes. This game also stimulate cooperation between left and right brain, in addition to train the courage and independence of the child.

The steps for cycling:

 1. Use two additional wheels as a means of salvation, set one of them rather rise above, if the bike is released, the bike will stand sideways.

2. By the time the child was on the bike and started to paddle, suggest to always look ahead, do not look down.

3. Lead children to ride this. If Mom and Dad do not mind and want your child could cycling rapidly, Father / Mother is holding the back of the bike in order to keep from falling. By  a little jog, suggest your child  always look toward to the front. Ask the children to feel the balance of the hands, body and legs while the bike is running.

 4. Little by little, lift the help wheel up until your child quite skilled and quite enough to be released.

 I hope it is helpful and useful. Happy cycling!

Step2 Neighborhood Fun Center

The kids in my daycare love it and we just got it this afternoon. I love it because it's Step 2 and I know it will last forever. I personally think it could have been a little less expensive but like I said the kids love, love, love it. I put it together by myself in less than half an hour. Probably would have taken less time had the kids not wanted to help so much. The seats could have been more sturdy and I did add a few extra screws to help steady them. I didn't use all the screws they sent with it because I'll keep it inside but since these snap together it won't be a problem. I'm not sure why you would need the screws but it holds together like all the other Step 2 playhouses I've had and is perfect without them. The kids didn't seem to like the spinning door as much as I thought they would. The "mirror" was scratched a little from the packaging and I think the ring toss might bother someone if they aren't use to a lot of noise. All in all it's a great house and since it will last for years and years to come, and because the kids love it I won't complain about the price even though I'd have felt better if it had been about $250 instead

another review :I bought this for my daughter's first birthday to use inside until it's warm enough to use outside. This is definitely a toy for her to grow into. Since she can't really climb or imaginitively play house yet, she enjoys guided rides down the slide, opening and closing the door, crawling through the several various crawl holes like the doggy door, and, for now, taking the balls off the target or rings for the ring toss. I looked at a lot of other playhouses and am convinced I picked the right one. This is definitely one she will enjoy for a long, long time
