We bought this for our 18-month-old, knowing he was a little small for it. His older siblings help him, but the pedal feature is a little hard for him. We have a different ATV with a thumb button gas, which is easier for him, but this works fine for my slightly older kids. Our 3 and 6yo drive it great. We usually use the slow speed because the fast is harder for them. It plays music, has lights, and the battery life lasted much longer than expected when we lost the charging cord. We put it together fairly easily on Christmas Eve without mishap.
