How does this do going up inclines on an asphalt driveway? Looking to buy this for an unskilled 2.5 year old that is 36" tall

This car is so cute! We bought it for our granddaughter when she was barely 2 and it took a while for her to learn to pedal even on a flat surface. I think it would be difficult if the incline is steep, but little ones learn quickly.

It would probably drive up fine if your child is strong enough to pedal it. My little girls had a very difficult time driving this car. It is just so big and heavy. I wouldn't recommend it for a 2 year old.

It will be difficult. Our grandchildren, who are athletic, had trouble going up a concrete drive until age 4.

My daughter was the same age when I bought it for her. Our driveway has a slight incline and is cement. Takes a little to get going but is definitely doable. She had absolutely no problem this year. Car is still in excellent shape and she loves it!!

I really have no clue. My daughter lives in a pretty flat area and hardly used it, to be honest. She never really liked it much. In this day and age with kids so interested in indoor activity and technology, these toys are really not her cup of tea.

Our son used it until he was almost a year old (even though he was walking). He was 30+ inches at that point and was on the highest setting. Our daughter is your son's height and is on the lowest setting still, but she'll likely be moving up soon.

For me, I measured the length of the ramp then took a 2x4 put it up against my vehicle then imagined how steep it is. The less steep the better. It also depends if your land is flat or sloped. My dog has since passed so we now use it as a training aid for agility.I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me again. Best wishes to you and you buddy!

It's not designed to. Having said that mine is 24. My daughter is small so it's not a big deal for us. It makes the ramp fairly steep but not so much so that we can't use it.

I purchased this for my 5yr old grandson who is a big boy. He has no sidewalks so rides it on rough pavement which makes for a very bumpy ride. It seems harder to operate when not on his smoothe driveway. However, the cracks in the driveway do not seem to interfere with the movement. The wheels are hard, they are not rubber tires. He likes it ok but I was disappointed that he has not show the passion for it as other have expressed.

It easily goes up street to driveway. I would be careful clinging up 3", but 2 is probably fine. Karen

It might be.... I'm 5'10" and it felt a little high at first. My wife has used it though and hasn't complained but she might just not know the difference. I love it though and have no regrets. If u incline it in the first position it still feels flat, I wouldn't even call it an incline position but it makes a big difference for the legs reach.

I wouldn't recommend it. I don't think there is a wide enough span for this to be stable on an incline. Even on a level surface I still make sure I put a heavy weight on it, just to be safe!

I've slid down it several times. I am about 150-160. I didn't have any problems from an incline of about 3.5 feet. If I were pushing upwards of 180-220, I'm not sure I'd get it without some central support.

It's smooth on both sides. Really wouldn't provide good non-slip on incline - I just use for asphalt parking (stand tends to have a narrow profile)

It can't be lifted because it's too heavy, but it is relatively easy to use. Occasionally I run it off the driveway and I'm tempted to muscle it back on, but it really will pull itself back back up when operating correctly. It is self propelled and is best for longer run driveways where you don't have to do a lot of turning. We got it because we have a long, steep driveway and the trax help alot with that. A flat driveway would probably be fine with wheels. I'm over 60 but I'm physically fit.

I really don't know, since I just push it anddont worry about lifting it. This is the only snowblower I've owned so I don't have a comparison. It works well on flat or downhill, but my driveway has a sight incline and it doesn't have the power to throw and pull the incline too.

I'm a 6'01" 240lb. male and it adjusted easily to me. From the number of different adjustment levels available, I'm sure it would also adjust easily to your height. It's not really intended for non-paved areas, unless you're talking about really level sodded lawns. It will keep you upright but it's hard to walk with it on uneven ground. I REALLY like mine a lot!

No, i would have to say it's more for flat terrain. Uphill would be extremely hard for children & if they were to slow down the least bit it would get away from them and roll backwards.

We just started using it. You can adjust the settings for "less" resistance so the heavier you are the less incline.

One side has a little notch that the kid can use to get up (you can see it in the pic). It is maybe 9 inches or so off the ground, so a little step up, but not bad for a 2 year old or so

I'm using it on an 18" rise, and with that angle an 8-foot ramp can get rather steep (2.25 inches rise per foot) for the average person to handle. You might wish to opt for a longer ramp, like a 12-footer, which will drop you down to 2.00 inches rise per foot.
