Power Wheels Cadillac Escalade EXT Order Now

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 05:11:00 +0000

First of all, the official product mentioned 3+, never say 3yr-10yr old like Amazon.com said. So don't expect this to be a much bigger car for bigger kids - it's basically the same size as other cars in this category, just a tad higher.

Secondly, this vehicle is not all terrain like the Hummers. It easily get stuck on small grass slope. If the road is bumpy? Forget about it.

Thirdly, all the stickers are made of grossy paper. How much sense does it make? IMHO: None. This is supposed to be an outdoor vehicle which will subject to moisture, UV light, and dirt, let alone rain. Why would cheap paper stickers are used? This is just beyond my comprehension.

Last but not least, enjoy the poorly illustrated and printed manual, thanks to the artificially cheap Chinese currency.

For the performance and vehicle size, you could get the Hummer or Jeep at near half the price. The product is not returnable, tough luck.Get more detail about Power Wheels Cadillac Escalade EXT.

Topeak SmartHead Bicycle Floor Pump Upgrade Kit Right now

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 05:11:00 +0000

I bought this because the original pump head and tube had failed. This is way better than the original. It is longer by at least 6 inches which is very convenient. It clamps better than the original on Presta style valves. These are the thinner and longer type. I had to fool with the parts a little to install this as the instructions were a bit too brief. However, I was able to do it in just a few tries and a few minutes. I was very pleased with this part as it meant I did not have to dispose of my pump and could continue to use it. I highly recommend this product.Get more detail about Topeak SmartHead Bicycle Floor Pump Upgrade Kit.

Lowest Price Airius V6 Toddler Bicycle Helmet, White

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 17:11:00 +0000

We couldn't have asked for a better toddler helmet. it's lightweight, nondescript (ugh, can't they make girls helmets without flowers or butterflies all over them?!), and is a comfortable fit for my average sized 2.5 year old. Seems like much room to grow too...Get more detail about Airius V6 Toddler Bicycle Helmet, White.

Low Price OnGuard Bulldog ATB 5011 Bicycle Bicycle U-Lock

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 05:11:00 +0000

I'd like to preface the majority of my review by saying that the product itself is quiet nice. It has the proportions I need to safely lock my front wheel and frame with ease. It comes with a handful of keys that seem to work fine. The lock is rubberized so it does not blemish the bike. Now for the bad things! I am fairly certain my particular lock came as a refurb or return. The packaging was smashed up. The product was also very sticky. It looked like the last person who had this in their hands had had taffy for lunch. This alone is unacceptable. What's worse was the mount came more or less broken. The strap was jammed (improperly) into the ratcheting portion so tightly that no amount of force could dislodge it. I ended up stripping one of the hex nuts. The tightening nuts are double sided so I guess I still have hope, but I've otherwise given up on the mount. Since I ride with a back pack most of the time, I just settled for carrying it. But it would be nice if didn't have to add that extra strain.Get more detail about OnGuard Bulldog ATB 5011 Bicycle Bicycle U-Lock.

Save Grip All Terrain Tricycle

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 17:12:00 +0000

You can find this particular tricycle sold under many different names. Here it is Grip. At Tractor Supply stores it is sold as Country Kids 10 inch Tricycle. On Ebay you see sold as Western Express. It's all the same bike made by an oriental company but sold by different companies.

But that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that it is a great tricycle for about $50. It is all steel, not a bit of plastic on this thing. Rubber tires. Nice large seat. Decent hardware comes with it to assemble, but you could always use better nuts and bolts if you really wanted to...it's all standard sizing. What you normally get for $50 is a mostly plastic piece of junk. With this trike, you actually get a well-made metal toy that will last for a long time.

Let me point out one thing. It says ages 3-8 on the package. My three year old can't ride it. On the highest setting, closest to the pedals he still can't reach. My four year can ride it pretty well, but it's still somewhat large for him. They love, however, that there is a little bar across the back that makes up the "rear axle" that they can stand on so one kid can drive and one can ride along in standing position. The tires on this thing are huge, especially the front tire. I haven't owned it long enough to tell how the tires will hold up over time, but they seem to be on par with just about all the other inflatable tire-type toys out there, if not better.

Easy to assemble out of box. Sturdy. Won't easily tip over. Definitely large and rugged enough if you live in the country or need an "off road" trike. I got it for $50, so search around a bit if the price is higher than that.Get more detail about Grip All Terrain Tricycle.

Discount Radio Flyer Voyager Canopy Wagon

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 05:12:00 +0000

With two young children that love to get out for any reason I adore this wagon. Its great for short trips to the park or down to the ice cream shop, decorating and walking in the local parades, Day trips to the beach - you name it. My chidlren both get very excited when I pull this out because they know something fun is going to happen. Now with a third child coming I only wish they would make a three seater..... Though the ride is so smooth and easy to pull my eldest is easily able to pull her brother around in it (with supervision of course), which they both enjoy as well.Get more detail about Radio Flyer Voyager Canopy Wagon.

Cheapest National Products Ltd. 6V Yellow Hummer H2 Battery Operated Ride - On

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 17:12:00 +0000

This thing is HORRIBLE! My 1 year old son received one of these yellow H2's from his Grandpa this past Christmas. It took a few minutes, but was fairly easy to put together. Charged the battery for 18 hours. Took my son outside, all he could do was step on the petal, but he loved it. He started riding down the driveway. The first thing I notice is that this H2 had virtually no traction. Even on the driveway it spins the wheels. As far as riding off road at all, even in grass, forget it. So he road about 150 yards and the battery died; I ended up pushing him back.

This thing could barely pull my 1 year old!

So, the truck ends up sitting in my garage until spring. I stored the battery with a full charge (18 hours). Today was the second day we took the H2 out this spring. Again today, I ended up pushing my son, now 2, up the driveway. So after a little bit of searching I found this customer no-service number, 1-877-743-3899. All they told me was my product was out of the 90 day warranty and they couldn't do anything for me, unless I wanted to buy a $30 battery.

No, I'm not going to buy their battery for $30. I'm going to walmart to buy a real power-wheels battery and charger, and I'm going to MAKE it work.

From this point, I will not be buying any products made by 'National Products LTD'

For everyone who will need parts for this, and you will need parts, I found this website...
[...]

Sorry to everyone for sounding so negative about this little H2.

The only good thing I can say about it is that it looks REALLY COOL!Get more detail about National Products Ltd. 6V Yellow Hummer H2 Battery Operated Ride - On.

Cheap Pacific Tuscon Boy's Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike (20-Inch Wheels)

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 05:11:00 +0000

This is a great looking bike but I can't give it a thorough review. It came in a beat up, tattered and taped up box. The paint and decals are scraped up and peeled off. Waiting on a resolution.

I actually bought 2 this and the 24 inch Tuscon and they BOTH arrived this way!Get more detail about Pacific Tuscon Boy's Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike (20-Inch Wheels).

Buying Chicago Boys Adjustable Quad Skate (Small)

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 17:12:00 +0000

My 9 year old grandson requested a pair of shoe roller skates from me for his birthday. These were just what he wanted, and he has practically "lived" in them ever since! To our knowledge, he had never even attempted to skate prior to this. They were well worth the money it cost me, since he has enjoyed them so much and gotten so much use out of them. They are also holding up very will under the "abuse" of his learning to skate!Get more detail about Chicago Boys Adjustable Quad Skate (Small).

Buy Cateye HL-EL010 Uno LED Bicycle Light (Black)

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 05:11:00 +0000

The light does exactly what its supposed to: provide an efficient warning light to prevent accidents when you are on the road. And works with only one AA battery! This is definitely a plus that you must consider when buying bicycle lights. The mount its pretty easy to install. Additionally, this light might be used for off-road adventures. A very good choice to consider.Get more detail about Cateye HL-EL010 Uno LED Bicycle Light (Black).

Purchase Little Tikes 3 in 1 Smart Trike

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 17:12:00 +0000

I would not be surprised if this item is recalled. We nearly broke my one year old's foot on this trike. He is very big for a one year old, and his feet have a hard time resting on the feet rests. So, he ends up pushing his feet forward and getting them caught in the pedals. We've injured his foot to the point that it has had a large scrath and turned blue. He has done this a total of 4 times on this trike. We also have a 2 1/2 year old who is also very tall. He can barely fit on the trike, but loves it and wants to try to pedal. He has also gotten his foot caught between the pedal and wheel and left him badly injured. He has gotten injured twice, and we don't even use it with him often. This has all been in less than two months. I'm planning on contacting the company to complain. My kids love the toy. Want on it when they see it, and end up getting hurt badly on it. My husband and I have been very upset that we paid so much money for the item and it is so bad. And yes, by the way, the sun shade is pointless. It's a great idea, and would be a lot of fun if every stroll didn't end in injury.Get more detail about Little Tikes 3 in 1 Smart Trike.

Order TSG 3-Piece Pad Pack (Large)

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 05:11:00 +0000

This set works great, I use them for roller derby. I like how the wrist guards have a hard protective bump on the palm, so when I fall it's better protection/shock absorber. The knee pads protect my knees so well, I could fall all day, and my knees wouldn't feel a thing. The set even came with a mesh bag to transport them.Get more detail about TSG 3-Piece Pad Pack (Large).

Shop For John Deere - Sit 'N' Scoot Activity Tractor

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 05:11:00 +0000

My grandson has played with this toy since he was four months old. He's now 16 months old and this is still one of his favorites. At first he just played with the animals. Then he started pulling up on the tractor and pushing it around. He eventually learned how to open and close the seat. Now he really enjoys putting various toys in the seat and taking them out again. He was so excited the first time he figured out how to climb on his tractor and ride it. He also loves to push the button and play the song and make the engine noise. I like that this toy is so versitle and can be played with inside and outside.

National Products Ltd. 6V Pink Hummer H2 Battery Operated Ride - On Top Quality

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 17:12:00 +0000

A perfect motorized toy for a 3 year old!

This product is smaller, lighter and more transportable via car, etc. than the large two person power wheel vehicles. We like it because it fits nicely in the back of our SUV and we can take it places versus the big power wheels vehicles that won't fit in the back of a car and are extremely heavy.

It's only a 6 volt so it doesn't have the speed or power that a 12 volt vehicle does but for my 2 1/2 year old, that's all she needs. If you are buying for an older child, you might want to step it up and buy a bigger 12 volt vehicle but for 2 and 3 year olds, it's a great buy.Get more detail about National Products Ltd. 6V Pink Hummer H2 Battery Operated Ride - On.

Bladerunner Women's Formula 80 US Skate (8) This instant

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 05:12:00 +0000

I just got a pair of Roller Derby's for my 5 year old son and this for myself. I had a couple of friends who had Bladerunner from Rollerblades for themselves and recommanded it. I don't know how to roller skate but want to keep up with my son. I tried on the old styled ones with four wheels once at a rink when I was a teenager and didn't like it (I fell so many times and back then I didn't wear protective gear so it hurt my palms a lot which made me pretty much give up). Maybe having learned skiiing a few years back and being moderately good at it re-ignited the interst and confidence (on top of wanting to roller skate with my son together), I got this pair for myself after some online research. Just got these yesterday and found out that it's not that different from walking up hills in a pair of skis. They're very comfortable, nice looking, rolls quietly and freely (this time around I got protective gears for both my son and myself, dah, good idea huh?) and I actually started to walk / roll around the house on the wood floors soon after I put these on. Great product and I love it! Now all I have to worry about is to keep up with my son's progress!Get more detail about Bladerunner Women's Formula 80 US Skate (8).

Mirrycle Incredibell Big Bicycle Bell (Chrome) Best Quality

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:12:00 +0000

It was a nice looking bell, but while the sound was melodic, the volume wasn't as full as described. It was melodically pleasant, but gentle volumed. Passer-bys wouldn't hear it until too close, and vehicles with closed windows will definitely not hear it. My old German bell works better. Thought I'd get a replacement least it breaks down, Looks like I've got to look for another bell as replacement. The Mirrycle Incredibell Big Bicycle Bell just didn't live up to my expectation. :-(Get more detail about Mirrycle Incredibell Big Bicycle Bell (Chrome).

AOSOM Pet Dog Cat Bicycle Bike Trailer Decide Now

noreply@blogger.com (Avana N. Pilada) — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 17:12:00 +0000

I was nervous about buying this bike trailer after browsing all the high and low end items available, but it's perfect! It was supposed to deliver to my home on May 17th but it showed up yesterday so delivery was super fast. I have two shih tzus one is 23 lbs and one is 15 lbs and they fit inside with room to lay down and be comfortable. It's actually very spacious inside. I put it together in 8 minutes, the wheels snap in, so easy. My boyfriend helped me connect it to my bike but that didn't take long either, maybe 5 minutes at most. I opened it up and my dogs jumped in no problem. It does have a funky factory/chemical type smell so I left the garage open for the night to help air it out. Also you have to put air in the tires before you use it. I put a little in and took it for a test ride yesterday and it was great. I could feel the weight a little when going up hills but really you don't feel it at all! My dogs loved it. I usually run them alongside the bike but they get tired so now I'll be able to put them in and continue with my ride. For $100 this is a great deal. Exactly what I was looking for. I put a small blanket in the bottom for them but it has good support on its own. I like the little flag too as corny as that might sound! I can't wait to go home today and take them for a ride!Get more detail about AOSOM Pet Dog Cat Bicycle Bike Trailer.
