Skitter Review and Giveaway! Closed!

The Skitter is an amazing thing. I had seen it online before and watched some videos of children riding on it, and all I could think was how awesome it was! There is no need to pedal. You just move the steering wheel from side to side! From what I have watched, some kids could get it going pretty fast, too!
Skitter was sweet enough to send a purple Skitter for the Lovebug! I could hardly contain the excitement waiting for it to get here. The day it arrived, I had it out of the box and was putting it together right away. It was pretty easy to put together, including taking the old wheels off, and putting the new wheels on!
Until I got to the part where I needed a certain sized socket wrench and a mallet. Neither of which I had. I thought I had it together though, and tightened it well with another tool. However, when I sat on it, and turned the steering wheel, it loosened the bolt. This was user error, not the fault of Skitter.
I sent the Skitter home with my Mom, and my Step-Dad, who had the right tools, was able to tighten it up easily. It was back here the next day. I've had no problems since then with it loosening up.

Our house is mostly all carpet, with the exception of our small kitchen. But, I could still get it going! Even my husband thought it was really cool! Lovebug is still too little to manipulate the steering wheel. But for now, she is having fun sitting on it and walking with it. I think this summer she'll be having a lot of fun riding the Skitter outside!

The best part about Skitter? There are no batteries. No silly stupid songs coming from it. It's all run on kid-power and imagination. Flying to the moon? No problem. My daughter, at one year old, already loves it, even just to climb on and walk with. The polyurethane wheels will hold up to 220 pounds, and since my Husband and I can operate the Skitter, I believe my daughter will be using it for years and years to come.
