I had one as a kid. This is the talk of the neighborhood and my son loves it. He is 5 and mastered the "controls" immediately. We have a great time watching him. His 3 year old brother can ride it for short while but can't turn it well. Great for a slightly older kid. We love this. I had one as a kid. This is the talk of the neighborhood and my son loves it.

I didn't have a Big Wheel (the trademark brand name for Marx's cool plastic rider), but rode some sort of dragon-looking knock-off that would be the equivalent, in today's terms, of the Kia of the sidewalk highway. Big Wheels were the stuff back then, and anything other than a Big Wheel brand was just a poor imitation. Then along came the Green Machine (also from Marx), and everything changed. Like a big swirling mantis of plastic and stickers, the Green Machine redefined sidewalk cool - and I had one! The schitck was the unique steering mechanism - two levers that rotated the rear axle. Big Wheels suddenly looked like the tricycles that they were. And they're back. My son has one of these new copies, and it is even better than the original (I, for one, have ridden them both - this is a test drive 30 years in the making). The new machine is essentially the same in all important ways, with three specific improvements. First and foremost, the front tire is inflated rubber. The traction difference is of course night and day. The rear wheels are still hard plastic, but that's what you want. These not only preserve that hallmark sound of rolling hollow plastic over gravel, but permit the whipping spin-outs that the Green Machine design is noted for. Second, the new Machine has a hand brake (bicycle style calipers that grip the front rim). Third, the front axle allows free-spinning - so when we, I mean my son, let's this baby coast down a hill, he can leave his feet on the pedals without trying to spin them at 4,000 rpm - that's a huge improvement. Whether you remember these from your own childhood or just curious, let me give you my strong endorsement - I loved mine back then, adn my son loves his now. This is a winner of a toy.

There is a huge amount to play with in terms of adjusting. Thats what makes this toy perfect for children of all ages. My son has a huffy green machine and is a very small 6 year old. I have even taken a ride on it, just showing the sheer adjustability of it. Also note if your child is considerably small they will certainly be able to ride, they just might find it difficult when steering. Hi Ed,
