where can this toy be ridden successfully if there are so many complaints listed. What about ourside?

Inside, outside it is perfect for all areas. I don't see anything to complain about with this toy.

The toy should be ridden on a smooth surface (floor or sidewalk). It is probably not totally effective for children who are not yet steady walkers, although my granddaughter loved it even when she was not quite totally walking, but needed a hand to hold onto.

We have a large concrete patio and tile throughout a majority of the house. My daughter doesn't seem to have trouble with it.

I would also suspect defective. I can't remember anything about the setup that I would suspect could lead to squeaking. If anything, I think improper set up would lead to an unbalanced swing or poor range of motion but not squeaking. Have you tried to turn the motor on without the other parts attached? If it still makes the sound that would help confirm a defective motor.

It rides okay in grass, dirt am not to sure about so I would not be able to answer that. There's no parks around that u can go to?

Had problem with the front wheel. It locked up several times before the ball bearings actually came out of the wheel. Amazon replaced it promptly, and we haven't had any other problems yet, but it's definitely an issue that KaZAM needs to address in production.

Did it work when you got it, if not Amazon/mfg should replace it. If it just quit working possibly the contact to the peddle became loose or disconnected. I have a pretty rough 4 yr old who rides & bangs into things all the time but so far I have not had any problems with it. I just wish it was a bigger so he could keep riding it when he gets bigger!!

I bought my online 8 months ago. I can honestly say it was one of my worst purchases ever! I had to by a new battery to get mine to work. The thing can't fly in any wind. Even on the calmest day it barely moves. Good luck with yours.

Are they walking well? If they're not walking well I wouldn't recommend letting them ride it. It kind of scoots jerkily. My 3 yo still adores this thing, my 1 yo really wants to play but it's too treacherous, the 3 yo nearly runs him over every time. It shoots right out from under the rider/pusher on hard floors, too. It's kept at Grandma's house now.

I went to the Hasbo website and chatted online with a rep. She suggested holding down the refresh button and holding down the tongue at the same time, but that did not work for me. That was her only solution. She offered to replace it with another Hasbro toy of equal value, not even a guarantee that it will be another Furby. They don't have any more Furby Booms to replace it with. I suggest ordering another one and sending back the broken one. So sad :(

My now 10y/o daughter has had no issues with it. She states it rides smooth on side walk (including uneven areas in our neighborhood) and asphalt road. She never rides it hard, i.e. racing. From my observations no safety issues with it.

Did your CKCS like the toy? I was buying one as a gift for an almost 19lb CKCS (under 1 yr), and wanted to know if this was a good choice...Thanks!

It sounds defective to me! We have had no problems with ours and have to rough young (2 and 5 years) boys that play with it!

My experience with Fisher Price was very professional. Even with the cycle being out of it's warranty period, they are sending me a new smartcycle to replace this defective one. Like Kelly's comment, I have to mail them the green cords and I'll get a new cycle within 6 weeks. Thanks to all who made a post about the pedal issue, I'm certain it's because of the previous posts that my complaint was handled so well by the company.

Call customer service and request a new pedal. This toy isn't cheap so it's the least they can do.

We have had the same problem. Ruined a coffee table and hardwood floors... Writing Hasbro and maybe returning a favorite toy....UPDATE: Contacted Hasbro via live chat on their website. Gave them the numbers from inside the legs and told them the issue. Also said others mentioned it on Amazon. They are replacing for free. They sent a prepaid envelope to send him back in so they can see the issue. I also had an issue with Bumblebee not closing all the way in vehicle mode. They are sending me a new one of that one as well without me having to return it.

There are a lot of 1 star ratings that claim this to be the problem with the sophie teething toy. I am looking into getting a toy for my son and make sure to read why people give such low ratings and this is the number one this I saw.

To get a definitive answer: Go to YouTube ---&gt; Fijit Friends Review. They have reviews that are very informative. We love this toy. We have: 3 Fijits, 1 Newbie, 2 Yippets, and 2 Shimmies. Good Luck!

Yes to all. We have it and our 2 year-old loves it. She rides in it when we go to the local Farmer's Market or when we walk the dog. Most families who see it want to know where we got it.
