Can the child actually "steer" the car (not just turn the steering wheel)?

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.

I bought this as a present, however, if I remember correctly the steering wheel takes a 9 volt, and the car itself takes double A batteries. There is also,a,little button, I believe it is on the front under the car itself, that needs to be turned on. If I can help any more please let me know. The little boy loves his!

Ideally behind the dash or stereo (there's no "button"; you use the steering wheel and stereo only). Yes. By disassembling the dash, which is in your car.

Hi,Yes you can! The steering is in the neck! You just need to hold on the the handles and turn the head!Like tricycle!Best,M

This item actually does not come with a remote control. The toddler would be steering the car.

Short answer is no as posted here. Long answer is if you're determined enough and our child is willing to let you guide then yes. Our son is three weeks shy of 2 years old and is not great at steering, we navigated him through several terminals and malls by attaching the strap to the hook located just above the front wheel. The location allows you to sort of drag in the direction desired and its decent enough as we made it through SFO and MIA international with just one or two slips off the skootcase (mainly his fault).

No cannot steer with one hand. I bought for granddaughter and I went for a visit and tested it and the steering is awkward even hard to steer it straight There would be no way anyone could jog using this. Very disappointed in the steering mechanism. For the money seems ok on quality but useless for a walk. For baby it 12 month I would purchase one if those first step cars. They easy to push If you want to turn this bike that was nearly impossible.

The child can absolutely drive the car on their own, the remote is if the child decides to veer off track. Very cool car. My 3 year old loves listening to his music.

It turns, however the turning radius is not much. I think it's a good stepping stone toward getting a battery operated car. If your child already has the motor skills to turn while driving, I would just go for a battery operated car.

No. Bought this for my autistic grandson, and after a few days he had it mastered. You just lean to turn the wheels.

Not really, it just changes your center of gravity, so it's a little harder to steer, especially with a bigger baby (mine is 17 mos. old) he loves it though!

No it does not. For a younger child that still needs to be strapped in this trike will be tough as the parent has no control over the steering, it's all up to the child.

I found that the speed at which the bike is pedaled can impact the steering response time. That is, if your child stops pedaling or slows down, the "bike" may not seem responsive. Try pedaling faster :-)

Yes, the kid is able to use their brake. My daughter has done this to me and I just wondered why it was harder to pull her along all of a sudden. She thought it was funny and hasn't done it since!

There is a strap that attaches to the handle but I have never tried to steer it as my guy is still too little to hold on well enough by himself. :)

Yes, the kid can control the car without the remote. No, both the child and adult cannot control together. The remote overrides the kid control.:)

If he has already mastered a tricycle and big wheel-type vehicles, he can probably handle the steering - especially in the slow gear. But it's pretty big and bulky, so if he's on the small side, you may want to wait til the 3rd birthday. It's big enough that even older kids can drive it. (my 10 year old can still squeeze in and drive it around). So you'll have it a long time.
