Hi, everybody
Mu grandson, who is almost 3, really likes watching me blast my Senton around the yard, and he's "driven" it a few times. He gets that you have to steer it, and ther trigger makes it go, but he hasn't got down the coordination between the two controls yet.
SO.....I'd like to get him his own car for Christmas, a small one, but one that has "real" controls; proportional steering and throttle. Some of the cheap stuff out there has bang-bang steering and on-off throttle, not the best way to learn!
I'm looking for something small that he can run around indoors, but stout enough that he can run it around the driveway and street in front of our house.
The LHS has some for $100~$130, and some of those even have 4WD. They also have some even smaller ones at about the $50~$60 point.
Any recommendations? What would you get your 3 year old kid or grandkid? My Senton would be a bit too much for him!
