Pros: The bubbles are so cute!! one button operation, good battery and charger
Cons: Expensive, Lots of parts to assemble, goes way too fast, bubble part broke
The Bottom Line: Unless you enjoy chasing your child down the road, yelling, "please wait for mommy!" I'd keep on shopping.

| gdwtch22's Full Review: Bubble Tractor |
I'll start by saying that my youngest son (11 months) loves this toy. In fact I'd go so far as to say it is his favorite. I really thought I'd enjoy it too, until I got the box open. I was expecting a tractor inside, but what I got was a bunch of parts and some instructions. Well, after several failed attempts to do it myself, I asked my husband to assist. After approximately two hours, we finally had what I had expected to find in the box. My son was so excited, and really ready to play with it, but per the instructions we resisted, and charged the battery for a full 18 hours. When it was all charged up, we put our son on the tractor, and he was very amused. When he found the button on the steering wheel to move the tractor he pushed it, and it took off so fast that he was thrown off. It says that it goes about 2 mph, but it seemed like a lot faster. Still very interested, my son got back on pushed the button, and took off. I had to chase after him, swatting at bubbles. I read the other opinion on this toy, and I'd like to say that I had never had any parts fall off. It seems like a sturdy toy to me. We did, however, have a problem with the bubble mechanism. It stopped working after only two weeks. We weren't extremely disappointed because that wasn't what our son was really interested in, but, for what we paid for it (it's very spendy!!) I think it should have worked longer. The battery, once charged, seems to keep going for quite a long time. Our son plays with it on a daily basis, and it usually needs to be charged about once every week and a half. The charger is easy enough to figure out. You lift up the seat, plug the charger to the battery, and plug the charger to any outlet. The tractor is pretty small, my son is a big boy,(25 lbs.) and will probably outgrow it in another 6 months, though it says for children ages 1-3.
Overall, I'd say this is probably not a purchase that I would make again. I don't exactly have buyers remorse, because my son really enjoys it, but for what it costs I think it should have been pre-assembled, and the parts should last for a lot longer.
