Toys and Games Reviews of Power Wheels Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
Customer Review: Tough little plastic jeep
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I wanted to buy our grandsons, 3 and 5, a little electric car that was safe and both could ride, for Christmas. These are very popular with kids.
We first searched on dedicated sites and looked at Ferraris, BMWs, Mini-Coopers, you name it, there seems to be a toy that represents it. We were discouraged by high prices ($400 or more was not unusual) and few of them allowed a passenger. Then we went to a large and popular discount store and saw a toy Mustang for $250. Upon close inspection it looked like it was very poor quality, which made us wonder if all were like this.
Next stop Amazon. At the time (just before Xmas 2010) Amazon only had a couple of electric toy cars, if I recall correctly, and I do remember that it was the only electric car eligible for Amazon Prime (I am a Prime member). We were lucky! It seated two and was priced at only $250. Unsure about the quality, we took a chance and ordered it.
When it arrived my son-in-law and I unpacked it for assembly. It comes mostly assembled, electric drive-train, transmission and wheels already in place (thank goodness - that would have a hassle). Assembly consists of mostly adding external parts like the windshield, steering wheel and steering assembly, seats, decals, and so forth.
I was relieved to see that the toy was very, very sturdy. The body and wheels (tires) are made of durable, tough plastic (good thing too, the first journey attempted by my 5-year old grandson sent the Jeep head-on into a tree, on purpose I think). It is not thin and it is not flimsy at all. I look a close look at the two electric motors (one for each year wheel) and the gearbox/transmission (2 forward, 1 reverse) and they were mounted very solidly. The wiring harness looked like a wiring harness from an actual car. Most of all, though, I was delighted when I saw the battery. It is a large, heavy, sealed (important) traditional acid battery with a high quality charger. I know something about batteries and this is about the best you can do for a toy like this. (If you are not familiar with such batteries, there is pretty good chance that the alarm system for your home has this type of battery for a backup - and how often do you have to replace it)?
And the kids love it - absolutely love it. Its plastic wheels do not grip well on wet grass or any kind of slope. It works best on flat concrete or asphalt. (If you ever see a child climb into one of these things for the first time, it becomes clear rather quickly that they do not have clue about how a steering wheel works. That can be pretty funny and reminds us that children aren't born knowing how to steer).
This thing came in a huge box (4' by 2" by 2' or so) and was heavy. I ordered it on two-day delivery on Prime, free shipping!! Even though it was the week before Xmas, this monster box arrived on my porch within two days, no charge!! Yay Amazon!

Motoring Skills!
Driving a ?real? vehicle, maybe even just like the one you drive, gives kids a feeling of independence, accomplishment and self-confidence?all of which are important to healthy social and emotional development. Learning to go forward and backward, change speeds, steer, stop and go is good for them, too.
