My 14 Month old is getting use to this, he gets in and out all by himself just to honk the horn over and over. I had to make a few adjustments to this item, I rigged this baby with a DVD player for our long strolls, I am also adding a padded seat because it is only hard plastic how uncomfortable is that plus a canopy for a little shade. People are use to the older model and are very curious when seeing this cadillac style buggy roaming the neighborhood.

We use this car daily and have pretty much replaced the stroller with it. I love everything about it except the handle. It's so flimsy! We have the older loud version of this car as well, and since we use it mostly on the road, the noise was just unbearable. I don't have to worry about my son's ears with this one, and I can carry on a coversation with the person next to me, however the handle is so flimsy I'm not sure it will last long. We've had it for four months and have already cracked one on the base. I saw some of the older reviews on here with customer service replies saying there was a newer rigid handle, so I called Step2. They sent out the replacement one, but it's exactly the same as the old cracked one. It has so much play in it that it's nearly impossible to turn. With the old one you could just push down slightly on the handle to lift the front tires and turn the buggy. With the new the handle has about two feet of up and down play, plus quite a bit side to side as well. Lifting either the front or back wheels is the only way to turn it, so I don't see another alternative in making the handles last longer. [...]

Comments about Step2 Whisper Ride Buggy:
Love it we use it everyday! So needs a cup holder for sippy cup and they should make a two seater or double seat for parents with more than one kid (twins or children close in age).
Service and delivery comments:
These could so use a cup holder for my sons sippy cup.
Also... has Step2 ever thought of making this into a two seater. I have two sons that are close in age. It is almost impossible to push two cars at once. I'm sure the parents of twins would also like this as an option.

Comments about Step2 Whisper Ride Buggy:
We first bought the older style of this off someone on [@] and our daughter absolulty LOVED it and get this, she was only 5 months old! She sat in it and held on tight to the wheel. We bought this one maybe a week later for inside the house. She is now 8 months old and Im so happy we have this. Everyone who sees her driving it smiles and compliments how cute and smart she is with it. The ONLY thing I dont like is that the handle on this one is so straight up that she sometimes hits her head on it but its a heck of a lot better (quality wise) than the older one with the flimsy handle. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Comments about Step2 Whisper Ride Buggy:
We have purchased and worn out several of these cars. The kids love them and squabble over who gets to ride in it. We are happy for the Whisper ride. The "buggy" one we had was very noisy! Kids loved that. I did not. :) There was minimal colour fade on this car.
Service and delivery comments:
Would like to see the front wheels turn for easier pushing around corners. The handle and especially the car itself where the handle inserts needs to be rigidly re-inforced. Both the car itself and the lower part of the handle cracked there on a couple of cars after repeated use. This makes for very sad children and very upset parents.

Comments about Step2 Whisper Ride Buggy:
My son loves this over a stroller, too bad the back wheel fell off. Also a negative is they do not sell parts online. That is the only reason I am here now.
