Discount Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike


Came quickly as Amazon orders always do. Packaging was perfect, no evidence of drops or crushing. Assembly was fairly easy, instructions were clear, took me about 20 minutes. The hardest part was lifting the box off the bike. Tires were pre-inflated. No tube or flat problems like I heard about in other versions of this bike. As a matter of fact, my son's mother purchased an MX350 for our 8 year's birthday at her home, and she had to drive an hour to get the tire fixed to save the day. After charging our MX650 for 18 hours, I took it for a ride around the neighborhood to make sure everything was working properly. I weigh about 175 and was surprised how peppy this thing is. My son has been riding this pretty regularly at our home for clips of 30-40 minutes, and I have only charged it 5 times since December. The battery has only so many charging cycles, so I'll let it get low before recharging it. He must have gotten 90 minutes out of the last charge. Highly recommend this bike. I felt an 8 year old didn't need the speed and danger of a real gas dirtbike. This thing has been fast and fun enough to keep his ADHD attention.Get more detail about Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike.

Cheapest Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Blue)


I almost didn't buy this product after reading about the quality problems. I have had NONE of the problems listed - and my daughter LOVES this trike! It looks great, assembly was easy!

My 2 1/2 year old daughter has a little trouble with the pedals, but more because of coordination than not being able to reach the pedals.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Blue).

Cheap RipStik Caster Board (Blue)


The Ripstik caster board is so much fun and works very well. It's hard at first but it gets easier with practice. My friend has a Ripstik so I tried his out and I loved it. The two wheels give me more control which is great. Even though you can get some bruised knees trying it out at first it's worth it. This is definitely is a toy where "if at first you don't succeed try try again".Get more detail about RipStik Caster Board (Blue).

Buying Disney Princess Horn


My mom picked this out for her walker. It is similar to others in assisted living. Now she always knows which one is hers.Get more detail about Disney Princess Horn.

Buy Topeak Mini G MasterBlaster Bike Pump with Gauge


It may be a wonderful pump, but I cannot tell. There are NO DIRECTIONS on how to use it. I went on line to seek directions. All I found were dozens of posts from other people who are frustrated that there are NO DIRECTIONS at all. Also, the print that is on the box is so small that I had to get a magnifying glass to read it. My regular glasses were not enough. I tried to contact the Topeak and their contact information is also impossible to find. This is very bad customer service!

Purchase Rollerblade Junior Pro 3-Pack Protective Gear


I ordered these, and there was no size demarkation. They arrived in size XXS - far too small for my 7 year old son. I don't know how they determine which size is sent, or if it's just a crapshoot, but beware! We're sending ours back and re-ordering another brand where we can select the size or the size is clearly displayed.Get more detail about Rollerblade Junior Pro 3-Pack Protective Gear.

Order Planet Bike 1007-3 Comp Floor pump with Love Handle (More Durable than OId Comp)


The plastic lining inside the nozzle (forms the seal) got a kinky in it after only a few uses. This made the seal (and the pump) unusable. Cheap plastic and kind of flimsy too.Get more detail about Planet Bike 1007-3 Comp Floor pump with Love Handle (More Durable than OId Comp).
