I got this one at Target for about $250. Walmart and Toys R Us carry them also.

I've got her driving in a big circle trying NOT to slide. Then a figure 8. A few times she's been able to correct the slide and keep going. She has turned into the slide every time. Just too much fun to watch.

This thing is an amazing teaching tool!

Later, when she's tired of the drifting thing, I think I can buy the regular back wheels and put them on instead.

If you have kids small/big enough for one of these you have to get one.

This is after a day or so:

Very cool.

Looks like it has some understeer. Time to adjust the alignment or soften the front bar and teach her about suspension tuning. ;-)

This is awesome....I have a 4 yo grandson that can not late apex the John Deere yet. I have some degree of understanding....IMHO his baby sister will likely be the fast one of that generation.

Actually, my wife is a gawd awful driver. She's one of those that puts the car in reverse and immediately turns the wheel whether she needed to or not then gets all screwed up.

She can cook her *** off though
