Peg Perego Polaris 800 Twin Copper 24 V Review
We have owned Peg Perego and Fisher Price - all 12 volt batteries. This was our first 24-volt purchase. We purchased this one in April and received it at the end of April. It did take some time for shipping (2 weeks if I remember correctly), so if you are ordering for a specific date, keep that in mind. My intention in buying this product was to give my 5 yo son a vehicle to drive since his 8 yo brother can drive our real quad. I also wanted to encourage his independence since he has slight cerebral palsy - doing things for himself is invaluable. He has really taken to driving it and is very good about manuevering around everything. Reverse and the foot pedal have easy for him to use.
PROS:
First I'll start out by saying that my 5 year old is the primary one who rides this quad. He is a lightweight (about 4 lbs#, so the battery runs all day. His bigger #about 80 lbs# brother can ride it too with shorter battery life. I've ridden it too and I weigh about 130. I don't think the battery would work long, but it handled me just fine. AW, my 5 yo son loves, loves it. The happiness on his face is worth a lot. The extra speed #7 mph) is much more fun than the typical 5 mph, and my 5 yo can maneuver just fine. We won't go back to a 12 volt now.
CONS:
That being said, I do have some complaints. Building it wasn't the easiest experience mainly because the directions did not indicate which screw to use where. That led me to removing a few and replacing them with a different one...until I needed it somewhere else. Everything else was fairly easy to follow.
Another thing is the durability. The first day of riding, the flag broke, which made my 5 yo cry until I told him he had a flag to play with. Within the first week, a tab on the front grill broke, the red seat fastener came off and a tab on the front cover at the hand grips broke, making it hard for the cover to stay on as well. Now we do have two boys, and I'm sure that had something to do with it. However, it would be nice if the frills on these toys were built to handle some roughness because it is an outdoor, fun toy that is to be thoroughly played with. It still looks good, but I have had to rig things to stay on or just take it off completely. I just hope the rest of it stays together so that my little one can get a few years of fun and I can get the money's worth from it!
CONCLUSION:
Knowing what I know, if I had the choice, I'd buy it again, but definitely not at full price! I think I'd be sick if I had paid over 0 for it. If we do need to have it worked on, then we will have to travel to a city
