Not the cheapest its been compared to past deals, but those were over 5 yrs ago.
GG to me who purchased it for $99 a couple weeks back.
CamelCamelCamel.
No!
PuRitY!!
This is cheap. I think I paid $99 too for one for my son. Tempted to bite the bullet for my daughter as I know Me nearly 3 won’t give his up but I’ll hold out for a pink one so they’re different lol (still 6 months or so until she will be able to use it)
i do notice a fair few of these end up on roadside pickup
sure they look a bit sun bleached but yeah… saves spending $83
We picked one up from roadside dump, faded and obviously well-worn, but still going strong 3 years on.
EDIT Ours looks to be a larger model, but same brand. They're well made and can stand some abuse.

Chip shortages have driven up the cost of all vehicles…
no dealer markup = win
Thoughts on getting this for a kid turning 3 next month? Too small?
They kinda need to be able to sit up by themselves otherwise you have to hold onto them whilst pushing. But the kid will grow into it for sure!
they will outgrow them too
not just in size but boredom
then they get kicked to the kerb
Oh oops I totally misread your message, I thought you said the kid was turning 3 months. @pyr0maniac is correct, 3 is getting a bit old for it!
If he/she is of average height then it should be ok, but if they are on the taller side, it's going to be a bit small (but they'll still love it anyway)
My nearly 3 year old already looks pretty big in his but he’s a tall boy. In saying that he loves it and I think he will get another year of enjoyment out of it - and I’ve had 5 and 6 year old friends kids over that still hop in and go for a spin for fun.
if you keep it in good condition (don’t leave it out in the sun) you will still be able to sell it easily when the kid outgrows it but I personally probably wouldn’t bother if you’re not planning on having any more kids to enjoy it
Try local libary for toys. 3 year old will grow fast. Depends on size of kid how long will fit. You will end up pushing it around with small kid in it. Alternative to gym membership.
Get a balance bike instead if you can.
I've picked up a few of these (in great condition mind you) from hard rubbish in the last year. All different colours too so each kid has a different one!
I had 2 of these for two children
These are of limited use, they are not easy to turn unless the ground is smooth, it is very loud as its just hollow plastic and kids get bored of it fast.
$99 is not worth it, nor is $83.
Just pick one up at every kerb collection.
See I disagree, my son loves ours and has from age 1 to nearly 3 now - but we also have a big yard with a decent amount of concrete for him to enjoy it on. There’s a good reason they make and sell a lot of these every year
good price, i bought one for my son last year for $89.
and its gone
We paid $20 for a second hand one last year, pretty good condition. It’s plastic so you can hose it down and it’s good to go. Plenty on gumtree.
I see plenty of these on nature strip around. They take up space and people just put them out when the kids dont play with it anymore.. Usuly have spider webs all over it but a quick hose down and its good as new
Be careful, even though it’s Amazon Aus when I purchased it was the US model which is obviously left hand drive so absolutely useless here.
Can I LS swap it?
