Looks cool.

How about a quick review of it for us other parents?  Where did you get it, is it put together well, etc.

mitt

Sure.

I paid $40 for mine (I think they go for close to $50 normally).  It comes fully assembled except for the training wheels which are optional.  Also, the decals are not on.

The wheels are wide so any taller (>34-36") kid will have no problem standing with it as it's very stable.

It has a button on the dash and with batteries, will make a 'vroom-vroom-beep-beep' sound.  The front wheel does turn which surprised me.  the other bike i got him is fixed. 

My boy is tall for his age (31") and has no problem getting on and off, but that is also going to be dependent on coordination at that age.

It seems VERY well built, very solid.  I was very surprised at how well it looks in person.

I highly recommend it for a little one.  It says the youngest age is 18 months, but that is due to coordination and size, my boy is almost 15 months.

i saw it in a pic and figured out it was made by Chicco.  It's called a Ride-on Monster.  I forgot which vendor I found it from -- i just searched shopping.yahoo.com for it.

I just ordered one a week ago, and my Baby is not here yet! You can never start to early. I was even thinking of ordering the Next size up one made by Peg Perego (SP?) My wife just shook her head when I showed her! [thumbsup]

for what age child?  it says for either 18+ (with trainer wheels) or 3+ without.
