Little Tikes Gas 'n Go Mower 21inx11-1/4inx20-1/2in

I purchased this (two actually, for twins) for my 3 1/2 boys for Easter. They loved playing with a really dilapidated old plastic one from my parents, which needed to get thrown out. I was unsure of paying so much for a little toy lawn mower, but the quality seems worth it. My boys love the popping noise the mower makes as they push it. The pull thing to "start" the motor turned out to be a big hit. And they'll stop in the middle of following their daddy just to twist and click the knobs on the handle. I thought they would look right past those, because they're more for younger kids. Wrong! Finally, the gas can is a great addition. It sits in place with some tension, so in theory it wouldn't fall off while being used....Assuming the user wishes to leave it in place. My boys never care enough to leave it on there. But its bright red color makes it very noticeable on our garage floor whenever they do decide to fill up their tanks! All in all, this is a great toy, and the price point does fit the quality. My 3 1/2 year old boys love it. Heck, our 9 and 7 year old neighbors love playing with it. You won't be disappointed.

We purchased this mower for my 22 month old son, who loves to watch us mow the lawn. I was worried that he would still prefer our real lawnmower in lieu of this toy (as most kids frequently do), but we were delighted to see otherwise. The mower arrived in the frustration free packaging (great for the environment as well) and was a simple install (all you have to do is click in the handlebars). My son then promptly proceeded to push the mower around for the rest of the day. Great features include the little gas tank (looks just like the real ones!), a open and close cap for the gas tank, a little pull for a lawnmower start up sound and keys and knobs that turn and click. It also has the popper in the middle that makes the pop sounds when you push it. Overall, this is a wonderful kid version of the lawnmower. Little Tikes did a great job with this one. It's well priced and such an awesome toy for the little lawnmower loving kid!

kids love playing with this

Overall, my son and his friends (ages 6 mo-4 years) love this toy! We use it inside mostly. When outside, works better on the concrete than on our St. Augustine lawn. Pros: Well made. Easy to assemble. Looks nice. Gas cap is attached so can't be lost. Kids love the starter (makes sound) and switch/key even before they can stand well. Was a great price when I got it. Cons: My husband doesn't like that the gas can has a slot on the mower (but that makes it easier to not lose). The gas cap is tricky to close (even for adults). Also be aware that a baby needs to be somewhat stable walking for this to work--it will not hold them up like a walker (but younger babies have fun playing with the different parts).

Wheels are hard plastic 4 inches in diameter. The top of the handle is 20 1/4 inches from the floor. So if you want to know if it's a good size for your child, have him hold his hands in front of him 20 inches above the ground and you will know. Made in China. We purchased the one in "frustration-free" packaging and we were happy with that. We just opened a brown box, and removed the items. No clear plastic shells or plastic straps to cut through, and no wires to untwist. It comes in a plain brown box that says Little Tikes in the corner on one side and Gas 'n Go Mower in the corner of the other side of the box, along with some contact information for Little Tikes. So if your child sees it arrive, he will have no idea what's inside unless he can read. It was very simple to put together - pop a few things into place, no tools required. The mower has several fun features for child: Up on the handle there is a plastic key that really turns but, fortunately, does not come off. So it won't get lost. There is a little handle that goes up and down (throttle?). It has a pull cord like a real lawn mower that makes a revving noise when you pull it, like the mower is really starting up. Of course, the revving noise does not continue once the cord retracts into the mower. But it sounds great for a few seconds, as though the child is really starting the mower. (This mower takes no batteries, and it is NOT a bubble blower. There are other mowers that blow bubbles, but his Daddy's mower doesn't blow bubbles, so we weren't looking for a child's mower to blow bubbles.) It has a little red gas can that sits snugly on the back of the mower in an indentation. There is a screw cap to open and "fill" the tank from the gas can. The cap is attached with a strip of plastic so it won't get lost, and takes only half a turn to open. (It is not a real tank, by the way, and would not actually hold liquid. There's just barely enough space in it to insert the nozzle of the pretend gas can. All in all, this mower is pretty realistic looking EXCEPT for the circular area on top that holds 8 very small colored balls under a clear plastic dome. (Think of the push popper toys on a handle where balls pop up and down making lots of noise.) Fortunately, this mower does NOT make that popping noise. The balls are very small and there are only 8 of them. The clear dome is not high and the balls barely pop up. What actually makes noise is this: There is a round white disk the balls are sitting on. Every time the wheels go around, that disk comes up just a little, so the sound the lawn mower will make as it is being pushed is more of a clickity clacking noise - not NEARLY as loud nor as annoying as those poppers on a stick. The balls did pop up just a little, but the sound was hardly noticeable. The clickity clack noise did not bother me at all, though it might after an hour of use!!! This mower has a lot of fun features to keep a child's interest. We bought this for a child who will soon be learning to walk. We thought he could use it as a "walker" to help him learn to walk. NOT SO. He immediately stood up and took hold of the handle, but it would not support him. As soon as he started to take a step, it started tipping over backwards, causing him to SIT quickly. He tried - and gave up - 3 times. It has a "back splash" on it that perhaps is supposed to keep it from tipping backwards, but it is totally ineffective with a pre-walking child who is using the mower to support himself as he learns to walk. This was a big disappointment, but since it says in the Product Information that it is for 18 month olds, I can't subtract a star for it. However, it also says in the Product Information that it is for children up to age 15 - yep I checked that three times. So I was hoping the beginning age was "off" just as the ending age is. (Amazon needs to correct that!) Bottom line, it is good for a child who is steady on his feet and already walking so he does not need the mower for support. I subtracted one star because it is hard to push in THICK grass, such as our floratam (St. Augustine). Even if the grass is fairly low (which it isn't if it needs mowed), the mower doesn't push through thick grass easily because it sits too low to the ground and the back splash thing also drags. We wanted this mower so the child could be outdoors mowing while his Daddy mows (on the opposite side of the yard from the real mower of course). "Mowing" the driveway just isn't the same. But we will still keep it for him to use later after he IS walking. It's well worth the $15 we paid for it, but I do wish it were raised a little more off the ground so it would be easier to push in thick grass and uneven ground.

This is a surprisingly fun toy. The colors are vibrant, the popping sound is audible but not annoying or nerve grating and the size and weight of the toy is perfect for your typical 18 month/2 year old and possibly beyond. My son is a fairly average 19 month old and he thinks this toy is great fun. I believe this was designed for indoor use. My son likes to pretend the carpet is grass and zoom around cutting. He's a little young to understand the concept of the gas can, but as the only removable part, I am happy it's not small enough to be easily lost. We use the gas can to encourage pretend play. The lever and dial both make satisfying clicks when twisted or flipped, adding to the features on this push toy. The greatest thing about this toy besides being plastic (easy to wipe down) is NO batteries! All the pops, clicks and rolling are fully mechanized by the child. Good, inexpensive, sturdy fun. I highly recommend this as a gift or purchase for your own little one!

Had bought at toys r us for $24.50!! Then saw it on amazon for $12.50! That's crazy! So I returned the original one- as for the mower itself it's awesome! It has a little gas can that fits nicely on the back and my just turned 3 yr old and 18 month old boys both love pulling the "cord" to start it up. The older one does it over and over real fast and it sounds like your revving an engine! Too funny! It pops little balls as you push it around too..we have the bubbles mower as well (have had it since he could probably walk, but it didn't work well (if I remember correctly you'd have to run kind of fast pushing the mower to get the bubbles to come out so I never even bothered buying more bubbles for it) but don't get me wrong it was still a mower to push around the yard with daddy when he was using the big boy mower so it's all good! I'd say this is the perfect gift for a beginner walker all the way to preschool aged kids. Hope this helped:)

This has been a fun toy for my grandson and made for some big excitement when we gave it to him. He pushes it all over the house and on the sidewalk or patio, stopping now and then to check the wheels and fiddle with the gadgets, like he has seen his Dad do. Very cute! He doesn't play with it every day, but it is one of those items he has gotten a lot of fun out of and he goes back to it repeatedly. It has also helped him with his walking. As a side note: There is a little plastic item shaped like a gas can, on the back. The one on our Mower isn't as detailed as the one in the photo seems to be. However, my grandson immediately picked it up and tried to drink from it. It doesn't open and there is no risk to it, but we decided it wasn't a good idea for him to view a gas can as a toy or something to drink from, so we removed it. He can pretend it's an electric mower. :-)

Now our grandchildren can help their Dad cut the grass.

Mi sobrino disfruta bastante del juguete, se la pasa corre y corre por lo cual es buena opción para mantenerlo entretenido y sobre todo, se ejercita.

Achetée à mon petit garçon qui avait peur du bruit des tondeuses, je suis ravie. C'est un jouet de qualité, belles couleurs, solide. Bruyante mais c'est ce que je cherchais puisque maintenant, il trouve ça amusant de passer la tondeuse et de faire beaucoup de bruit ! Enfin, un bruit modéré puisque c'est les petites billes qui sont au milieu qui claquent quand la tondeuse roule.

Excellent toy for walking baby...This toy is not to use like a walker. it has a mechanical sound system.

Belle apparence et super simple à assembler! Le jouet a l'air de fabrication solide et il est fonctionnel. Les boutons et la corde font des bruits. Il y a aussi des petites billes qui sautent quand on avance/recule la tondeuse. Pas assez stable pour servir de trotteur pour un enfant qui ne saurait pas marcher. La tondeuse risque de basculer si on met trop de poids sur le guidon.
