Some reviewers says the wheel does not turn, so how do u turn it? Or it can only go straight? What do ur kids do when it's the end of the road?

True the front tire/handlebars do not turn for steering but that never stopped our child from loving this. When he was small riding inside he did go in a straight line between Mom and dad before he could push himself along with no assistance. Now that he is taller he pushes himself all over and just puts his feet down and slides or lifts the front end to turn around as it is really light. If you want something that turns buy a Strider bike which we also own and love. The difference is the Step 2 is very stable because of its wide tires and and fact the front does not turn, while the Strider has more like bicycle tires and steering. Our son in his 2s rides both all the time and likes them equally. True the front tire/handlebars do not turn for steering but that never stopped our child from loving this.

It doesn't turn. The kids lift up the front of the motorcycle if they want to turn.

It only goes straight. My son has learned how to turn it by standing up and rotating it little by little to turn around.

It's true, you can't steer with it. But that might be better, especially when they go downhill fast. To turn direction, kids either take their feet and lift it into the new direction, or dad lifts motorcycle and kid into new direction. No biggie.

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.

this is my second one. First red one worked fine until kids decided to try to ride on it. Second black one also works fine and kids are not allowed to stand on it. Can't help with your problem. Sorry. Return is only advice I can offer.

You wouldn't want a toy like this to turn too easily because when they are learning to walk you don't want their toy to take them in a direction they don't want to go! We also have two ride on toys that can be used as walkers and all three turn pretty much the same. Now that my son is more steady on his feet he has no problem turning and when kids are learning to walk they pretty much go in straight lines anyway.

Hi Our stroller is fine. Have you got the tyres evenly pumped up, or have you got a slow puncture in one of them. Also are the wheels all properly locked in place. If none of this works look at the stroller from ground level to make sure the frame is straight. Ours only pulled to one side when we had a puncture in one of the tyres, once this was mended we had no further trouble. Hope this all helps in some way.

Try wiggling the wheel on the back, but if recommend returning it. I hated mine.

The front wheel is fixed on this model but there is an option for a front wheel that turns. Kind of wish we bought that one but once you get used to the fixed front wheel it's fine.

Its discontinued? Oh man! I need back wheels my front is fine. I am same boat as you. If I would have known I never would have purchased and its such a shame cause its a great ride my kids love it. If you found anyone or any sites willing to help in replacing tires let me know please. I would greatly apprecaite it. I was thinking of taking the wheels to a bike shop see if they can fix it if all else fails...

If you are not driving them into things as you state, you shouldn't break it... But if you do RUN into things going fast, good chance it will break. So far so good on the one I got my 10 year old for Christmas. Luckily we have a lot of wide open area for her to drive it. She has hit a few things at low speed and it hasn't broke yet, but nothing has been hit at full speed yet.

You will be amazed how smart your little one is!! My little one maneuvers all over without difficulty. I too was worried at first it would be difficult since the back wheels don't swivel but its funny how quickly she figured it out.

The front wheels do not turn right or left, they just roll forward. But its not hard to steer at all. It is great for walks thru the neighborhood and the yard as well. My 1yr old Grandson loves it.

It is normal to have a little increased resistance compared to a normal wheel. You should still be able to ride it, but it will feel very slow. If the wheel doesn't turn at all, then it is either defective or installed wrong.

I noticed, yesterday, that it can be steered slightly by shifting your balance, if that is what you mean. I think it can react a little like a skateboard, except it has 3 wheels for balance. Hope this helps. All the kids in the neighborhood have one, from my 2 yr. Old great granddaughter to the 10 yr. Old.

Remote control for this vehicle has a wheel for steering and a trigger (pull for forward, push for reverse). The controls are either on or off, so if you turn left it is turn hard or straight, no slight turn. Same for throttle, either going full speed or stopped. My five year old loves it however, despite the limitations.

Yes the wheels spin but they just go straight and do not rotate left or right.

I just put my granddaughter's together and the piece you are talking about doesn't go all the way in, just make sure it feels tight. once you put the steering on and tighten it, it holds together well. also the front little wheel doesn't touch the ground. Hope this helps!

Hmmm not sure, I will try mine when I get home! Have not had an issue, mine was the wheel coming off!!
