Nice choice for a 1st car toy. Congrats on the new grandson also. Make him your best friend and then let mom and dad deal with his tantrums.

They say the reason why grandparents and grandkids get along so well is they have a common enemy.

Nice toy, but - Give him a real one!

I had a friend who was doing very well and bought his newborn son a brand new 1978 Corvette that he kept up on blocks, covered, in his garage, to give to him as a gift when he turned 18,
But that was before he heard of or experienced the "terrible twos". So it wasn't too long after that that he said 'fck him'', and he took the car down and used it himself. He also couldn't stand it anymore, walking into the garage and looking at it just sitting there.
