Great to look at but impractical and dangerousNovember 20, 2008 H. Smith(UK) 42 out of 42 found this review helpful
We bought this for our son's 5th birthday after he begged us as all his friends had them. It looks great and he loves the monsters but be warned that 1) it is VERY heavy for a young child; 2) it rattles really loudly when you are riding it because of the empty drawer and (most importantly) 3) it CANNOT COPE WITH PAVEMENT BUMPS. My son rode it to school and we had to stop every few yards because the drawer kept springing open every time he went over a slight bump or rise in the pavement. This is because the drawer is very low to the ground and has only a very small catch to hold it in which gets bounced out very easily. This is really dangerous as it kept hitting him on the 'pushing' leg and twice caused him to fall off. And it took us ten times longer to get to school than normal! We have now taped the drawer shut but it is still really annoyingly loud and also impractical because it keeps scraping on the ground if you have dips in the pavement (i.e. for driveways) or a bumpy surface like cobbles or bricks. It turns out all his friends' ones have the same problem so none of them are really using them except around the house. All us mums are rather annoyed at having spent so much for something so useless!
