Is this product good for a nearly 3-year old (while supervised) on a long car trip?

No. There are a lot of small pieces that would roll around and maybe get lost in the car.

Yes you can make paper puppets and other crafts while riding.I would have everything organized first so it can be close at hand .

There might be some activities that the child might be able to partake in.You would have go through the box & see what activity (s) would be the least complicated.

Yes it would be. While not all of the activities are designed for in the car there are some that would work.

Yes, I bought it for my 3 and 2 year old cousins. She knows to sit in the passenger seat and close the door. They have a blast cruising around the neighborhood

I don't think a three year old would get a lot of use out of it. I got it for one year old, his 3 year old cousin would be more interested in power ride-ons.

My son is 3 yrs old and it seems durable for him. We haven't had any problem with it. We never traveled with it, so I wouldn't know.

If your child listens and will sit still yes. If you have a little one that wiggles a lot while in the seat or likes to undo latches I wouldn't recommend it. If you have a child that is big for a three year old I would say no but then you probably wouldn't be asking the question because they wouldn't need a booster seat.

Hi Crystal, I can't see why it would not be good for kids. But, I think supervision would be wise.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it, but to each their own. Just as Triplethreat suggested, it is about the ability to understand...occasionally I have to tell my 3 year old (that is 32 lbs) to be still. If she gets into the ride and starts to lean, it throws off my balance and can be quite dangerous going around turns (especially passing others on the trails.) Also, keep in mind other factors, such as things being kicked, or splashed up in their face, and them not being able to tell you. Just my opinion, but I would get an inclosed one until your kiddo is a bit older.

I would say no, unfortunately. It is a tiny car and really designed for 3-4 year olds. My kids grew out of them quickly, but they did enjoy them while they could. I transitioned them from the car to a radio flyer big wheel, the one with the low seat and the really large front wheel. They LOVED IT! and fit in it up until 2nd grade.

I purchased this for my 2 yr old granddaughter. She absolutely loves filling it with her baby, stuffed animals, and whatever else she can find and "driving" it all over the house, of course with her purse on her arm. It has room to grow. The handle hits just about shoulder high on her. It would be perfect for a 3 year old! You do realize that a dolly rides in the car, not the child?

I have a good sized 3 year old who uses it comfortably. Plenty of head room.;) Just be aware that there is very little storage space.

For Safety 1st years the average is 6-8 years from the date of manufacture. I don't remember the window of time for this one specifically, but it will def get her through the years you would want a good carseat and solid booster! Most kids want the smaller less obvious boosters when they get close to reaching the age that they ALMOST don't need one anymore. And it can be used as five point harness seat for a LONG time. My son is almost 4 and still has LOTS of weight and height to go before he meets the recommended requirements for the booster option! I love the Alpha seats, all three of my kids have them :)

I would say no. I purchased this for an active 7 year old and she had a hard time getting used to operating it, falling a few times in the process. In fact, her 4 year old sister wouldn't play on it and said it was "too hard". I don't believe a 3 year old would have the dexterity required and may hurt themselves.

I bought this for our back seat headrest for my 8 year old daughter for long trips and I don't find it dangerous when a tablet isn't in it, although we often keep it hooked to our seat even when it's not being used, it is extremely easy to take of and put on, and seriously only takes two minutes, also the holster part for the tablet itself unsnaps and can be stored separately (we put ours in the pocket on the back of the seat) honestly SOOO worth the money, it tightens and is adjustable and is a all around great product that I believe (as a mom and user) is NOT dangerous, I would never use if I thought that was the case, hope this answer helps you!!!

I think it is perfect for a 3 year old. I got it for my granddaughter and she is 18 months; I think she will most likely use it until she is 5 or 6.

I actually used it (supervised at first, of course) when my son was 10 months old. He started to understand how it worked overtime. He is 14 months now and does great on his own. I think the warning should be thought of as a suggestion in this case. Just make sure to look for small parts, but in this box the smallest part was about the size of a bouncy ball , so it wasn't too bad.

Hi! I bought it for my son who is 3.5 years old and he loves this very much. If your child is into Hot Wheel Cars and other varieties of trucks and cars I can imagine he'd have a good bit of fun with this. All levels of the Rig adjust to lower and off load the cars, it's well made, fun, great for imagination. I can easily see at that age though - depending - that it could be an item easily grown out of. Each parent knows their child best. The toy as I said is fantastic-O though. Hope this helps. Maybe something like a remote controlled car or some of those larger monster Hot Wheels Trucks would be better suited if you find this isn't to your liking. Good luck shopping. :)

I would say a 3 year old can hardly sit, but the truth is I only use it in tough thick chairs or plastic chairs with arms. Still I have to be careful with my daughter because I believe she could turn and fall easily since its light and not really firm. Its pretty good for trips.
