Boikido Wooden Ride on Violette

I gave this two stars because it's cute and seems like it's durable. Usage is where it fails. My son has had some fun chewing on the handlebars and that's about it. He has tried to ride it but the wheels are positioned so that his feet constantly knock either the front or back wheels so he can't get anywhere pushing with his feet. The wheels are not wide enough apart, either, so the vehicle tips over easily and he's fallen twice trying to get off of it. Since he's only gotten on it about four times that's not a good track record. Anyway, I'm hoping he might be able to ride it at some point but I'm buying a different ride-on toy to see if it works better for him.

UPDATE 12/5/12--My son can ride this toy just fine now at the age of 23 months. He learned to ride on another bike first. His legs are obviously longer and his dexterity is much better than it was when I first wrote the review. I'm glad to finally be able to use it. He did much better initially using the radio flyer bike. This Boikido bike seems to not be the best choice for initially learning to ride and maneuver.
