We saw this car and thought it would be so cute for our 5 year old, she weighs about 40 lbs and is 3' 9" tall and this car is too small for her to pedal correctly. This website and others says max weight is 70 lbs. but the manual says max weight is 60 lbs. It never gives height which it should because you adjust the pedals according to how tall the child is. There are three different pedal positions and my daughter was on the last holes and she still can barely pedal because she is too tall. Now we have to see if the comp. will take it back if not we are going to gift the car to a smaller child. This is made for a child who is about 3 or 4 years old and 3' tall max height! It comes w/ decals to add to the car, so you can personalize it w/ their name, our decal package were all uppercase letters which the picture clearly shows small and uppercase letters to use it also shows you can use an apostrophe in the child's name, this also was NOT in the decal package. We are so disappointed in this purchase, and my daughter is even more so because she loves the car so much.

I had a nice old all metal pedal car just like this as a kid. Who didn't?
Of course, mine was a rusty old hand-me-down from my elder cousins. That car, like this car, was made of steel. They tend to last a long time; they go through a lot of kids! Despite the rust, I loved that thing and I played with it constantly.
Now my daughter has the same thing to enjoy. Heavy? Sure. It's built like a tank. BUT how many other pedal cars out there can you wash, wax, and buff just like daddy does to his car?
Besides, more parents should be buying HUMAN-powered toys for kids today. What kind of 4 year old needs to be relaxing in a giant plastic humvee with blingin' rims just stomping on a pedal to make a electric motor propel them around the yard?
They've got plenty of time to get lazy later. In the meantime, have 'em work up a sweat and sleep hard.
I left off the decals and went for a sano look. The chrome polishes up nicely!

We've had this car for over 2 years now and my daughter still plays with it daily. It is very durable and still looks new, even while kept outdoors. Highly recommended!!
Honest reviews on InStep Pink Lady Pedal Car
This car did require some assembly but every minute was worth it. My 3 year old wants to eat and sleep in her car. I absolutely love it. The look on her face when she drives is priceless. Not too mention all the compliments she gets when she drives. Every penny was worth it!!!!

This is my second pedal car purchase (two grandchildren who both loved the first one). Fairly easy assembly, all parts present and accounted for. Sturdy construction, but the paint job left a little to be desired. The unit I received had black flecks all along one side. I don't think the kids will notice/care. Was hoping the decals were die-cut; they weren't. If you want to use any of them, get ready to do some careful trimming. I bypassed all of that and just got some chrome pin-striping from the local auto shop and created my own look. I was also disappointed to find that this unit is a one-wheel-drive system (the opposing rear wheel is not keyed to the drive axle). It would have taken very little to apply the same engineering to the other wheel to make this a two-wheel drive. But for relatively cheap money, this car is still a good buy.
