Can this be turned around - I want to face it into my yard while the kids are small, but when they grow up turn it round so they can play in the alley

Yes you can. The pole cannot be moved but you can mount everything on either side of the pole. One side for now then you can take the backboard assembly off and remount it on the other side.

Not as currently configured with plastic ground sleeve. You might be able to get a metal sleeve made, and use some type of bolt / hitch pin to secure & unsecure the pole, so you could turn it, but I think that would make the goal less firm when kids shoot.

It's a terrible product. Glass has broke and the pole has bent, poorly engineered.

When my son did use it, I didn't feel he had any backwards trouble. He was better doing that at first than going forward. As for going around corners, if you had a larger space I think it would be fine. We didn't, and so when he would knock into a corner, he didn't have enough room to learn how to correct and would get frustrated. But if reversing after hitting meant your child would hit another wall or furniture, I wouldn't suggest it. I'm longing for the unfortunately dangerous walkers of the 80s for my house! Lol

Yes, definitaly can be turned. I recommend a better vacuum line to hook it up, the one that comes with it is too flimsy and collapses when it gets warm under the hood.

yes, it can be rotated. I would be careful though, just like attaching the clip - it's tight and you have to almost force it - I was afraid it would break and it wouldn't surprise me if some have been broken during set up, before. I rotated mine 90 degrees from how it was in the box and have never changed it, though - so I don't know how it would stand up to repeated turning.

Yes. You can rotate it horizontally and tilt it up and down. However, you cannot turn it side to side.

I found the turning radius to be way too wide for our son to navigate our tight spaces. It's possible, however, to remove the steering assembly (2 screws) and take out the collar that stops it from twisting further. Problem solved! Just be careful as they learn to ride. It tips more easily if they turn too tightly!

Sure, you can. The wheels connect onto a shaft that goes threw the axle so the wheels will turn. The only thing is the chassis is kind of fragile with the small diameter plastic they used. So if for a kid, especial like mine, the chassis will break after sometime! Hope this helped. Edit sorry didn't see the other reply's before I replied.

I'd say it probably could be swapped, but you wouldn't want the wider one in the front. The toddler wouldn't be able to make it go. My granddaughter (just turned 2) loves it because she can reach her legs out in front and pull forward quickly to make it go. She absolutely loves it and goes all over their house -- probably outside on driveway too, but I haven't seen her do that. This scooter is very well made and I would highly recommend it over any of the other plastic ones. Go for it -- it's really worth it!

None at all, unless balance is an issue for you now I wouldn't be to worried. If the right side was high on a side walk and left side was low on the street, I guess there is a possibility of flipping but all in all, flipping is something I would hold me back from at least trying it out. It seemed very stable to us. My two year old was playing on it. And if she can't flip it over I'd like to meet the person who can because she's the roughest toughest girl I know

It's the design of it to avoid it from flipping. There are other tubes for that kind of activity. I can swing this one out quite well, but I don't want to flip my kids. We have a flat lay down one for the more evasive maneuvers. I LOVE this tube though.

No it can't. when you flip it in the opposite direction, the lights face upward.

Yes, it is a 180 degree zone and you can spin it in a different direction, either right or left; not up and down. We have one aiming more to the side instead of straight out due to where people walk up our sidewalk to our door.

We bought this for our grandson who is 2 1/2 so we don't want him to twist just yet. His little sister (13 months) also likes to swing on it (lying down). I do think the swing could be hung with the ropes close together so that it could twist. It is very sturdy and we are very happy with it.

It can turn inside it's own radius, but doing so is hard on the grass. It dramatically cuts down the mowing time in my yard with a lot of trees and flower gardens to maneuver around.

It has a pin that allows you to remove it. So, conceivably you could flip the bar around. But I don't see how you could turn it to the side unless you drilled a new hole for the pin.

Not sure what you mean by rotating it. But it is movable - you can "fold it" so the seat is open so to say, or "extend it" all the way to the front, up to the handle (I found the shade to be quite generous). Hope it helps.

Yes it can, but it will blow around if it is windy. We don't stake ours because the kids love playing with it all over the garden
