I got this for my nephew for his birthday and it's absolutely perfect. He loves Nerf guns and wanted a scooter, so this was like 2 presents in 1. Thank goodness it only took a few minutes to put together, because he was about to burst he was so excited to use it. I'm glad I read the box before I gave it to him, so I had the six C batteries ready to go. He had so much fun playing with it, he didn't even want to come in and have cake. I read the reviews before purchasing and now that we've used it, I have no idea what people were talking about with the quality of the scooter. This is very well made and the frame is quite sturdy. The handlebar height is adjustable, so it'll grow with him. The 2 wheels on the front make it more stable and helps distribute the weight, since the Nerf gun unit is a little heavier with the six C batteries in it. The rapid fire Nerf gun is easy to load, easy to fire and works perfectly. He's had it a couple of weeks and my sister said that he uses it almost every day. On the days that it's yucky outside, he brings it in and rides in their unfinished basement. And apparently, I'm now the coolest aunt EVER! ?
