Does it need batteries

Would it still turn if we took the batteries out ?I only want a steering wheel that turns without any obnoxious sounds !

Yes it does. We have it for our 4 and 5 year old boys and they just broke it in the middle, they've had it for 8 months. Reason being, they are boys and they are not gentle w/ their toys. :) They liked it but maybe it would have been better for 3 and 4 year olds. They yanked it hard to the left and hard to the right too many times as well as use the "tilt wheel" pretty hard. Oh well. I hope your kids love it, that was just our experience.

I've had mine for almost a year and it works fine. But I didn't realize it needed batteries till I got it. Not sure if this helps at all, but I hope it starts working.

No, you don't need batteries at all. If you haven't had enough sun for it to be charged thru the solar panel, just crank it a few seconds. It doesn't take much. I love it. It's very small size makes it so cute, yet it's very functional. You can't really tell by the picture the size of it, but the dimensions are in the description. And to give you an idea, it has a wrist strap.

yes. I don't have it in front of me right now but it uses the small ones, like AA or AAA. I don't think it came with batteries, but it does require them.

It does require batteries. I think they were AA. That's all I have in the houses and don't remember having to buy them.

No. Batteries only. Works very well, but you'll need to use good batteries with this. I used cheap dollar store brand batteries first, and they didn't last very long.

Mine did, but make sure it's new. I bought a used one and it did not have batteries. Regardless I could not pass the price up.

Yes. It has a battery and I have used it both ways which is the reason I bought it. If I need to use it without electricity I can just as well.

No batteries are necessary. Pull the crank away from the body, then crank it up. It runs only on the power generated by the crank. This makes it unusually useful when the power goes out, as it often does where we live.

no, it does not run on batteries, it needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet

It does require batteries. There are 2 buttons. One in each ear. One sound is a song the other is the horse neigh.

Yes it requires batteries but it broke on Christmas day last year when my daughter opened it and tried to play with it.

Yes it requires a battery. It uses very little energy even with frequent usage. I've had mine for a year and haven't needed to change the battery yet.

There are no batteries needed. Please note though that you do need to buy an electric cord as long as you think you will need. It doesn't come with any.

YES! It comes with a battery, but it did not last very long, I had to buy a new battery. It was very cheap.

I never installed batteries but as I recall it needs them or the AC power to operate.
