I guess from what I have read they are prety involved in building over 100 hours. So it will be for a late bday probably or xmas shes not quite 2 yet but they do sell rockers for them also.

Buy the planes... Scale them up so an adult can sit in them. Power the wheels with a small lawnmower engine. Then you have a great Parade Plane! The Shriners with the little cars and mopeds will be hugely jealous!
