do I have to for or against them? They seem like fun. They cost too much for me to buy. If someone else wants one, why do I care? [ Reply | More

against. Those batteries are horrible for the environment, and what for? Usually the kids only use it once in awhile. [ Reply | More

hey, if you're going to use it a ton, then go for it. But don't get something that's crappy just b/c you can afford to leave it in the garage for the whole summer and forget about it. [ Reply | More

I kind of hate that kids wait for nothing these days. They get toys without asking, rewards without behaving, see movies before they are old enough, etc. It seems like there is no, "when you are older!" anymore. I have nothing against those Jeeps per se (other than the big plastic/battery issue which I could get over easily.) But this seems to fall into that same category. You want a go-kart? Make one. Can't figure out how? Ask dad/read a book or just wait till you are older. [ Reply | More

ITTTA. I hate them and think it's decadent for a child to be riding around on one of those things instead of a bike. He'll get to drive soon enough. Also, driving is a serious responsibility. [ Reply | More
