Great Toy for hours and hours of fun!
Terrific toy for kids! That doesn’t stop this from being a favorite toy for all three kids (6 year old twins and a 2 year old).CONS:(Please keep in mind these are very nitpicky CONS)The tailgate will pop open occasionally when they go over big bumps.Admittedly the leg room is a bit tight even for my 6 year olds (avg height 44″-45″).It doesn’t have great traction on wet grass or going up steeper hills…but keep in mind it’s a battery powered toy not an actual 4 wheeler.PROS:This overall build and feel of the JD Gator is noticeably better than previous ride-ons our kids have had.It was fairly easy to put together and the instructions are decent. No real issues.Battery Life is quite good (I would recommend the Peg Perego 12V Quick Charger…Yes it’s a few more dollars but if your kid or kids love the toy it is well worth it!Dual speeds make it perfect for older speed demons and smaller drivers to have funThe high weight tolerance of this lets the kids load toys and sometimes even tools and trash bags in the back. Max weight doesn’t seem to have an effect on the performance or speed.Honestly overall, while it is one of the most expensive things we have ever bought our kids (and I do mean ever)…it is also one of the best. They play with it constantly and it seems to handle just about anything they throw at it quite well. Make sure you note the size so you have a good place to store it, or make sure you cover it as like most battery powered toys it can’t get wet. We use an old over size grill cover to protect it between uses before we stow it for winter.

They see me rollin’!
So far, so good! We have had this about a week now, and we dont have any major complaints. My 7 and 4 year old sons ride this together.-The battery usually lasts around 2 hours. And they ride it hard!-Assembly was decently quick. My husband had it all put together (while I worked on the stickers) within about 30 minutes.So far the only thing I see being a “negative” is that the tailgate does not always stay in place. I think the bouncing around makes it pop open. My kids get annoyed when they’ve loaded the back with something and it all comes rolling out.Overall though, this will get a great amount of use at our house. We had an older version of this and a John Deere tractor ride ride given to us second hand. They rode them into the ground, so we decided it was time for an upgrade!

There are Pros & Cons
UPDATE: Weâve officially been using this for 5 months and the steering wheel lever BROKE!! The jeep is on 3+ years and nothing has broken on it. So disappointed.At this point, weâre experts in the child ride-on automobile game.Back story- We bought a 1 seater jeep for our 2 year old a few years ago. It has lasted forever! It has off-roading wheels, a radio/Bluetooth, and is so easy to hook up for charging, that she could do it. If they sold that jeep in a 2 seater, thatâs also as wide as this John Deere, we wouldâve bought that.Fast forward⦠we now have a 5 year old and 2 year old who want to ride together. For reference, they are both very tall and weigh a combined 85 lbs.We did a lot of research on 2 seater ride on toys for them. And by âwe,â I mean my husband did a lot of research. Our #1 concern was the width of the seats since the girls are sick of being crammed in like the jeep. Surprisingly, the ride-on cars/trucks/atvs that have 2 seats, really arenât much wider than the 1 seaters! Itâs crazy. Most are only 1/2â – 1 1/2â wider. We even took into account the body & tire size of each one we looked at.This brings me to PRO #1- This John Deere is the widest 2 seater ride on car/truck that we could find. And it truly is comfortable in that aspect. Great for our 2 kids! Wish it had more leg room because Iâm not sure how much longer my 5 year old will be able to fit in it, but we have tall kidsPRO #2 – They love the bed in the back bc they like hauling stuff around. Itâs pretty cool. Wish it had a better lock on the tailgate and an automatic dump button but I digress.PRO #3 – So far the battery life is pretty great.In my opinion, the cons are issues that 2 big companies shouldâve caught when they were designing and testing.CON #1 – Charging the battery is inconvenient. Our 2/3 year old could charge the jeep on her own. Now sheâs 5 and definitely can not charge this John Deere by herself. I have to get a screwdriver, remove the screw in the front grill, open up the front grill, disconnect the battery then hook it up to the charger. Then do all that over again once the battery is charged. Every time. Annoying flaw when designing a KIDS ride on.CON #2 – Itâs front heavy so it definitely needs to be 4×4 and have off-roading wheels on it⦠but it doesnât. We live in a neighborhood with normal grass and the girls have gotten stuck from time to time. They never get stuck in their jeep bc itâs 4×4 and has better wheels. Maybe if it wasnât so front heavy, the wheels wouldnât be a problem. If they wouldâve put off-reading wheels on this thing then the front heavy aspect might not be a problem. Another flaw I feel shouldâve at least been caught in the testing phaseCON #3 – Itâs 2022/2023⦠it should have a radio on it like all the others. Simple addition. Especially for $500!!Would I buy it again? Yes, itâs still the widest and most comfortable for 2 kids, it has a bed in the back and its pretty quick. Wish theyâd fix the flaws though.Fyi – shipping took a lot longer than expected and It took my very handy husband 2 1/2 hours to put together. So funHope this review helps!

de buen tamaño para 2 niños, material de buena calidad, lo unico que agregaria es una manija para q se bajen del jeep ya que suelen detenerse del parabrisas y este siento que no durara y el bolante queda un poco flojo a pesar de apretarlo bien con la tuerca

My boy loves the gator. He has so much fun ripping around the yard and even uses it for helping do chores. It’s surprisingly sturdy, easy to drive, and gives him that âmini farmerâ confidence boost. The battery life is decent, and heâs constantly hauling sticks, toys, and sometimes even snacks. Honestly, I wish they made one in adult size!
