I think the tracks from yesterday say  it all.( even more snow today)

I gave him his jeep Friday after noon to let him have a chance to drive it before dark.(it’s already dark at 6pm here)

I decided not to put all the stickers, just badge it like a real jeep. I even cut out the jeep logo from the rear sticker just to have the logo and not the diamond plate graphics.

He mastered turning and reverse very quickly for a now 3 year old . He loves his “red jeep”

Wait till he gets older and wants something faster and bigger than a powerwheels.

Those little gas kid’s  quads tear up a lawn very very quickly

There’s snow! On the ground! How do people live like that? Much less bring up children...

Did you have the idea for the bike tires? How did you hold those on?

I think my kids are already too big for one of these, but they loved using them at a few friends’ houses; I just always thought the tires needed something other than smooth plastic. That’s brilliant!

Idea found on the net.

I bought 2 26 inch tires from the recycling centre for 4.00 total. Cut most of the sidewall off and screwed to the tires with drywall screws.

I only have gravel and grass here at home , so this was my best solution. Note that on hard surfaces, the gears might die in one afternoon.

I should suggest this to my friend who still has one, I have several old bike tires kicking around as does he, I’m sure.

I hope the kiddo has tons of fun with that.

nice, I need to move soon so Jonah can have a 4 wheeler at home. being 9 he’’s obviously too ig for a powerwheel, atho he had a tractor one when he was younger. He has an old E- ton 90CC that was actually my wife’s when she was a little, but it stays at my FIL’s so he doesn’t get to use it much. Last time he did he rolled it and now he’s a bit scared to try it again. That was also before he learned to ride a bike. When we move out of town it’ll be moved to our house and he’ll get to use it more.
