The car looks beautiful and was also used enthusiastically by our daughter as a running novice. However, I do not feel the car to be very robust - after a few days in the use of the car squealed pitifully, oil did not help there. The wheels started quite quickly to "eggs" and that, although an almost 1 year old child can probably muster little too much force and weight ... The paint is colorfast very robust, despite diligent use nothing is chipped or peeled off. The wood is also not become cracked or brittle. Meanwhile, we have the car almost 2 years, all "quirks" in defiance of it has survived and is still used as a doll's pram and "Transportation" on the way to the playground. So overall thoroughly recommended with small drawbacks.
