Fantastic Christmas Present

| Power Wheel Photo |
First this is really cute.
Surprisingly it was not as difficult to assemble as I expected. Kudos to Fisher Price/Mattel/Power Wheels for
providing clear, easy to read instructions.
Photos could have been a little bigger but compared to most things I end
up assembling, these instructions were terrific. The font was actually readable. No clue why so many manufactures provide
instructions and or assembly information in a font smaller than the now
historic phone books. There was one
moment of abject panic when I could not find the steering column. It was taped to the back of the roll bar and
it was underneath said rolling bar.
Otherwise the assembly went well and the decals weren’t too bad. Decal application was surprisingly tedious
or from experience, hardly surprising.
They don’t put them on as the labor cost would add significantly to the
price of the toy. I have not gotten a kid reaction yet but I expect it to be
quite positive.
A feature which is not emphasized but probably should be is the speed restrictor. It has a speed restrictor which they recommend not be removed until the child becomes adept at using the vehicle. Now we aren't talking any crazy fast speeds and if your kid is reckless you may never want to provide a little more get up and go. It struck me as a good feature.
