User Submitted Kid Trax Red Fire Engine Electric Ride-On Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-12-29 Great Firetruck! We bought this firetruck for my 4 year old son for Christmas this year, all we've heard all year is how he wanted a BIG firetruck for Christmas... and this firetruck was everything he wanted, he was happy, so we were happy. If I had to describe anything that I didn't like about it from a parent's point of view... the cord on the megaphone could have been longer so he wouldn't have to bend down to use it. Also, the battery is a little bit of a pain to get to, you have to take off the seat, and then use a screwdriver to take the bar that's holding the battery in place off. Plus, we are constantly making sure he doesn't forget to turn it off, it has an actual switch that you start it up with, it's really cute, it even sounds like a diesel (not very loud though, neither are the sirens and horns) but I don't know if it will or not run down the battery, so we are always checking to make sure he turns it off. But he doesn't really care about any of those negatives I pointed out. He absolutely loves the water hose on it, he's put out many fires just since Christmas. It's pretty fast too, the first time he rode it, we had forgotten to take the screw out so it wouldn't drop into second gear to go fast, but after we did, it picked up some speed. When I bought it, Amazon said it was to be delivered by Christmas. I was getting a little worried, because the company they use for some reason acted like they couldn't deliver without calling first... and of course we apparently didn't get first call to schedule delivery (even though I have caller id and I have no calls that day that looked like it would have been them calling), we called them after I saw on the site where I could track the package, and tried to tell them to deliver it just when ever they could, that we are always at there so there would be someone there to sign for it, but they said they would call 30 minutes prior to delivery. The delivery was set up for Christmas eve so I was pretty nervous. I wasn't sure if I "missed their call" again if they wouldn't deliver it or not, and this was a very important Christmas present. Thankfully, they called and the man was in route for delivery, he delivered it like 20 minutes later, very friendly person. So we cut it close, but Amazon said it was to be delivered by Christmas and it was. So we got it on time, and my son loves his firetruck... So overall, the service and product are excellent in my opinion. Date: 2007-12-27 Great Item! This fire engine was great! My kids loved it and it hauled @$$! None of the bells and whistles really mattered. They just liked getting in it and driving as fast as it could take them. This was a nice vehicles since it used a pedal instead of some electric push button. Anther bonus was being able to adjust the speed and go forward or backward. My 4 year old was up and running with all the gears in less than 30 minutes! Highly recommend for the price! Date: 2007-11-17 Great - if it's not in for repairs... We bought this for our two children about a year ago. We were smart enough to purchase the extended warranty on it, and it's a good thing we did. It has been in for repairs twice already. It would get start jerking as they were riding it, or making loud noises. My neighbor has the Mustang and the Escalade and they haven't had any problems with them -and their son drives them around like crazy, spinning out, etc. - whereas my kids are a little more 'tame' on the firetruck. (And yet, we're the ones taking the thing in for repairs!) The repair shop we've taken it to has made comments to us that these firetrucks are not very well made and they've repaired quite a few. So, overall, I would say that my kids love it - as long as it's working! Date: 2007-10-31 New Company, Great Product, Great Fun! I am a representative of the company now in charge of KidTrax ride-on toys. Rest assured the reason we recently took over this business from Safety 1st was to ensure the product is fun, safe and reliable! We've made several upgrades to the internal compoentry to address any mechanical concerns. The overall quality of this Fire Truck is great, and we also back it up with excellent customer service and support. With a dedicated toll-free line (877-741-6154) and service & parts team, we strive to ensure that every child (and parent) is happy with their new ride-on. Please buy with confidence and have fun! Date: 2007-09-02 kid trax red fire engine electric ride-on My husband and I bought this for our sons third birthday and he loves it. It's great for any child that loves firetrucks or who wants to be a fireman. The only down fall is that it doesn't have a seatbelt. So my husband and I had to put a large belt on it so that our one year old could ride along with our three year old. But it still works out well. So to all those future fireman this is a great set of wheels.
