I am debating between this "tripod" style digger and one mounted on wheels. Is this easy for a 4 year old to move around the yard?

Easy enough. It has basically stayed in a sandbox, and he is able to move it and he is only 3.

This one is light, my 3 y.o. moves it all the time. But again we only tried this one and we love it

It's light but it might be a little awkward or difficult for a 4 year old to be moving around the yard. It easily spins in a circle if a child wants to move it.

Probably not for the 4 year old. It's very ready for an adult to move around.

my 5 1/2 year old can move it easily to his different 'construction sites'.

We brought it for our granddaughter when she was 18 months old and she loved it. She pulled it instead pushing it but nevertheless, she really liked it.Now she is two and has a doll carriage which she is liking very much, that needs to be pushed. If the child is a boy, I say go for it! Another option would be a small wagon because they like to cart around their things. I hope this helps. We have so much fun with her; it's great.

It may be, My kids were little when I bought it for them. But at his age he could set up stunts and not get "as hurt" if it had wheels. Sorry I couldnt help you more.

It has pneumatic wheels so it should be pretty easy to use on gravel, although I haven't tried it. It is very easy to maneuver.

I use this for around the yard and garden and I love it. I have used the attached wagon and flatbed, however, use a bungy cord to keep things from falling off. This wagon is a very sturdy and strong item and the wheels roll over most surfaces. It was easy to put together in 30 minutes while watching TV. I don't regret the purchase.

I think it would be difficult for a 5 year old to ride on gravel or pasture unless the surface were hard and fairly level. The wheels are not as large as a bike and the mechanical advantage from the sprocket might make pedaling too difficult.

You know, the wheels are not real heavy duty looking so I do not use it for sand or dirt just leaves and mulch. I do go up a couple of steps with the materials and the wheels seem ok so far. The plastic bucket part seems heavy duty enough and I have mixed potting soil in it and moved it aroundon the back deck to top off the planters but this is a flat surface.

Yes, my 3.5yr old son uses it. It may not be as smooth as an older child/adult, but he sure has fun chasing me around the yard!

Generally yes, sometimes soft dirt will sink the wheels. Lawns are really easy.

We have a very steep hill in our side yard and this is light enough to push up and down the hill. If you try to take it sideways, it could roll on you. I'm guessing a heavy one would probably run the same risk, though. We're more than a year into it and still pleased.

It is really easy! The child sits on it and moves the handles back and forth and the Turtle moves. I do not think it would work well on grass. My own kids had one of these growing up and played with it so much they wore it out. Our local skating rink used them for children's birthday parties for years. I bought my last one for my nephew. It is a great outside toy.

Hello. I have a four year old whom loves this scooter. It is very stable with a wide base for little feet. It is easy for her to use and propels smoothly. The wheels have held up perfectly on both bricked and paved driveways. I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed.

The 4 year old will probably be a little big for this stroller. I would choose the City mini over this. Easier to fold & maneuver.

My son (4) is pretty rough with it and takes it outside to vanquish bad guys (weeds and rocks) it has a few dings but you have to look close. it is very tough and I would recommend for even the roughest of little kids. Even his sisters (12 and 13) have taken a few rounds with it.

It depends more on the size and weight of the kid than the age. The tractor has pretty good zip and would handle most kids in that range on a flat surface, it would be more of a problem on hills.

I prefer the 4 wheel. It is more stable and easier to push. Yes, we love our animals!!! Ha! I think you will like this model. Just took my 3 for a long walk a few minutes ago.

I would say No.. It is better for ages 1-3 after that I would go with a reg. power wheels... Its a great thing for small kids though with the remote :) We love it!
