does the steering wheel actually work? does it turn the wheels?

No, it does not. The long handle in the back is how it's steered and that is even a bit awkward for turns. My boys do enjoy it, there's just a cpl tweaks I'd make.

No. The wheels don't turn side to side at all. That's my only complaint. The steering wheel turns, but does not control the wheels.

It turns, but it does not turn the wheels. Everytime time you turn a corner you have to rare back and tip front end up. Very disappointed with this item. Handle is a little flimsy too.

Yes it does. It is very basic and does not have rudder/steering control so i have to use the keyboard number 5, 6,7 for steering left, center, right in that order. But otherwise it seems to be OK. But it is basic.

It can be moved by shifting body weight and holding on to the steering wheel, as well as shuffling with feet. My 5 year old grandson uses it with his feet, and my 2 year old granddaughter started by using her feet, but quickly learned she can shift her body weight and steering wheel to make it move.

As far as I can remember, no, it doesn't steer. Gift for my grandson and I no longer have it at my home. Would make sense, though, since this is for a newly walking toddler and the narrow wheel base in general would make it rather tippy. Grandson loves it!

I play with the regular xbox controller and I love it. Why would you need a steering wheel? Just use your normal controller...

It does but it depends on your system, I had to purchase a separate harness due to me using my steering wheel controls.

With the steering wheel, you shake it side to side, then spin the steering wheel clear around and do the same thing for reverse

I will need more details on what is happening, are the modes themselves not functioning? Or is it the wheel itself not responding? The only time i have experienced an issue with the wheel was when i purchased the laptop and had Windows 8 on it, after downgrading to Windows 7 i do not have any issues with the functions of the laptop. I am not saying this is a fix, i am informing you that the software is still a bit buggy.

No. The wheel turns and the child can move card what direction with their feet, but they can't actually steer with the steering wheel.

Yes, the wheels turn. Steering a bit tight, but am sure that will loosen up a bit with use.

There is no real wheel. However, if you move your finger on the mouse, it will mimic the wheel function. Similar to touch pad. I like the mouse.

no, there's no steering. The front wheels do turn but they aren't connect to the steering wheel.

Honestly I'm not sure yet. I just received this unit last week and haven't had a chance to install it yet. They claim that the steering wheel controls will work but you have to manually set them up through the start-up menu. I'll keep you posted as soon as I have completed the installation.

This one doesn't work on Windows 8, but it works on Windows 7, Vista and XP. For Windows 8 you would need the new one that has a blond girl on blue cover. This is a simulator software only, so you need a steering wheel and pedals to have a driving simulator. Amazon sells new wheel with pedals for $30. Without a wheel and pedals it simply doesn't work.

Yes it does. When we got it initially it seemed very awkward and then we realized that the wheel was locked.

Yes the wheels turn with the handle. By turning the handle you can steer the wagon, forward and when backing up.

Dear, it has steering wheel control function, but you need to get a canbus for it.
