Summary: Great toy - BUT BEWARE of Amazon shipping bait and switch
Comment: This is a GREAT ride on toy. Very well made and SIMPLE to put together even without the instructions which I didn't find until AFTER I was done assembling it. This was my daughter BIG GIFT for Christmas this year. SHE LOVES IT... as soon as she saw it she jumped right on and pedaled down the hallway. She played on it outside for hours the next day and we can't wait until spring so she can use it more.
At the time of this order, we were offered the opportunity to try out Amazon Prime for a free 30 day trial. Considering the size of this item and expected shipping charges, I decided to accept the offer and took advantage of the free 2 day shipping option. This worked out nicely and promted me to order even more from Amazon making my Christmas shopping easier.
As the end of the year neared and Christmas had come and gone, we decided we wanted to get Rock Band for the family.
Now onto the problem... I found this game for PS2 in local stores for $150 or more. I decided to check Amazon and was please to see that it was $99. SCORE - and with Prime, I would get it OVERNIGHT for only $3.99 more. I ordered Rock Band on December 27th through Amazon prime. I paid the extra money for the "OVERNIGHT" shipping option so that it would arrive BEFORE New Years Eve (as it was planned for a party). It was scheduled to arrive on Tuesday December 30th (since the order took place over the weekend)which would have left PLENTY of time.
HOWEVER - AMAZON's useless shipping department did not send this package overnight-as I paid for. They instead decided that UPS ground would suffice since it was shipping within the same zone. HERE is the problem with this fraudulent practice - UPS, like any other shipper prioritizes it packages based on actual shipping service purchased. Since this item was a GROUND package, it sat on the truck ALL day and ultimately was returned to the distribution center AFTER 7:00 PM. Also, since it was GROUND, it did not go out for delivery on the following day (12/31) since this was a limited service day for air packages only. AGAIN, if Amazon had shipped it properly, it would have been delivered on 12/31. REMEMBER I PAID for OVERNIGHT service.
I was able to prove this shipping problem was caused by Amazons practice of not properly handling a shipment, based on another order. The second order was also place with Amazon prime on MONDAY 12/29. Since it was not urgent, I opted for the FREE 2nd Day delivery. That package actually shipped via 2nd day air (as expected) and due to class of serivce (air) it was delivered on 12/31 (the holiday). It is now FRIDAY 1/2 and I still have not yet rec'd my Rock Band order. IT WILL BE REFUSED WHENEVER IT IS FINALLY DELIVERED as I bought the exact same product from Walmart on Wednesday morning for the SAME PRICE.
I complained to Amazon about this and the best they would do is refund my shipping and offer me $5.00 off my NEXT purchase. Why would I purchase from them again after this terrible experience.
In summary - BEWARE OF THE SHIPPING Bait and Switch! Use Amazon's site for your research and customer reviews. If you like the item and want to buy it, see if you can get it local for the same deal - if so TAKE IT. Don't trust Amazon's shipping dept. or expect good customer service! If they keep this up - they will go the way of SO MANY companies today and be gone in a heartbeat.

Summary: Kettler Karibo Cart
Comment: I am so very pleased with this product! I bought two on faith that they would do the trick for our 4 and 6 year old grandsons. The construction is excellent and therefore, safe. The assembly is easy if you can hadle simple tools at all. They can navigate them well even on lawn and around the dirt areas of our yard. The best part is that they are kid powered and can only go as fast as they can peddle(on the flat). They get their exercise and can learn the skills of turning both forward and backward. Thank you for offering them.

Summary: A Long Lasting Toy
Comment: I got this pedal car from santa about when i was five. Right now I'm 11 and it still is in good shape. (I dont ride it any more my sister does.) This car can get up to speed of about 4-5 MPH. My favorite part of the pedal car was that it had two geers. One geer was for riding and the other took the chain of the geer so you could get pushed with out the pedals turning. The seat is changable
for diferent ages. THIS CAR LASTED 6 YEARS!!!(and many more to come)
THANK YOU!!!

Summary: fastest car in the neighborhood
Comment: This is the ride my 3 1/2 year old son prefers to all other ride-on toys. He has a bike, a motorized Jeep, a cozy coupe (ride in plastic car), a wagon, and a stradle on 4 wheel bus. He needs to ride this car everyday and it is not even our toy. The neighbor purchased this Kettcar in a yard sale. Her son is too small to reach the petals and my son has taken this car over. He rides faster in it than any other bike. It is very safe and low to the ground. I am not worried about it tipping over like I am with his bike. He passes all the motorized toys in the neighborhood. He LOVES it! And he gets some exercise!
