 Toddler Loves It August 29, 2010

2 year old boy loves this toy over all others. Really basic commands and not too fancy for a young toddler. Soft exterior shell. Works well on hard floors, ok on rugs and tight carpet.
 Very Nice for a Young Child August 13, 2010

We bought this as a present for our nephew. He really liked it. It is really loud though but as another reviewer recommended a little tape over the speaker will take care of that. Plus, it is a fire engine and they aren't meant to be quiet anyway. It is durable too. This is a great first RC toy for any young child.
 OK for the price, limited controls, very short range July 27, 2010

For $20 it's hard to complain. Real RC vehicles are at least 10x that much. Still, I wouldn't buy another one. Sadly, I only learned this after I already bought three of them for different kids. And all three (different models) worked the same and had the same limitations.
The biggest problem is the range - about 10'. It's also intermittent. Once in awhile, it will work from farther away. But it also fails from very close.
It is not powerful enough for most carpets. Works pretty well on hard floors. Even had trouble on asphalt driveway.
It's also loud and annoying. I ended up taking it apart and snipping the wire to the speaker.
All three kids lost interest pretty quickly. It's just not reliable enough for a kid's short attention span. They have too many toys that work every time.
More fun for adults than for the kid June 23, 2010

My son loves firetrucks so we got this one for him to play with as he has several other automatic trucks. First the sound is really annoying, you'll get used to it but since I have some other automatics, this is most annoying one we have. second, It has a cute wheel that controls it but it only goes in a few directions. Lastly, It has withstood some knocking around and still works so far. 3 stars because our kid doesn't love it - he has a red toy race car that he likes better. (They could make the red on the truck brighter!)
