My son would cry with our old one. He said this one isn't bad. I wouldn't say it's loud but it's not quiet. It still sounds like a buzzer but it's really nice. For the price I'd try it!!!

My son is 5 right now and is very into switch and go dinos! He got his first one at age 4. I could see older kids (6-7) not being as interested.

The blower makes noise but it's not bad, just like any motor... It has to stay on or else it will deflate... It is definitely fun for the kids. I got this for my daughter to have on her 3rd birthday and she loved it!!! We still turn it on once in a while for her...

Are they walking well? If they're not walking well I wouldn't recommend letting them ride it. It kind of scoots jerkily. My 3 yo still adores this thing, my 1 yo really wants to play but it's too treacherous, the 3 yo nearly runs him over every time. It shoots right out from under the rider/pusher on hard floors, too. It's kept at Grandma's house now.

I agree. The phone is alot more quiet than the other two toys I bought. They were the remote control and the hand radio. They are both much louder and my grandson loves both of them.

3 y.o. It mostly is loud and has lots of lights blinking, and drives itself on the floor in a circle. Hope this helps!

It is quite loud actually. It terrified our toddler and he would run and cry. We ended up sending it back

There are better cars toys for two-year-olds. This one takes some dexterity and breaks fairly easily, plus the noise is very bothersome. My advice: Buy about 20 inexpensive hot-wheel styled cars and trucks (including firetrucks, police cars, school bus, station wagons, ambulance, and all sorts of small construction trucks) once he is old enough to play with them and no longer puts things in his mouth. Buy one of those fold-up play road mats sold on Amazon, and he will let his imagination go wild, gradually playing more and more pretend sophisticated games. Tie them in with some fun car and truck board books. Promise: He will take them everywhere with him and be content for hours! There are better cars toys for two-year-olds.

Yeah it's basically a characteristic of this setup, cheap plastic housing. As your child grows it will become louder, not by much though. Hope this helps

It is pretty loud and we couldn't find a way to shut sound off. FUN train for outside or separate room from conversation! (-: My Grandson loves it but can't play with it while baby sister is asleep!

My son was almost three when I purchased this toy for him. He loved it, however, I would not recommend buying as it is extremely lound and not good for the kids' hearing. We eventually took it away as I was worried it may hurt my son's hearing. I hope that this helps.

It's actually funny...I don't really know. I never did figure it out. When my son turned 4 months am started banging the toy he changed the tune. I tried banging it myself, nothing but the same music came on. I hand the toy back and he bangs it and the music changed. I'd ask him but he doesn't talk yet...Sorry I'm no help. My sons keeping it a secret. He's 1 now, hopefully someone else can help.

Your neighbors won't hear it. It is not louder than any other child's toy. It does not activate when kept in the box and not bumped.

Hi! I bought it for my son who is 3.5 years old and he loves this very much. If your child is into Hot Wheel Cars and other varieties of trucks and cars I can imagine he'd have a good bit of fun with this. All levels of the Rig adjust to lower and off load the cars, it's well made, fun, great for imagination. I can easily see at that age though - depending - that it could be an item easily grown out of. Each parent knows their child best. The toy as I said is fantastic-O though. Hope this helps. Maybe something like a remote controlled car or some of those larger monster Hot Wheels Trucks would be better suited if you find this isn't to your liking. Good luck shopping. :)

Honestly, for us it kept my son so busy when I had things to do, it just became the same background noise every other kid toy does. He never was super obsessed with it, but for us it's been worth it! If you are hyper sensitive to your child's toys, it may make you nuts, but otherwise it will jut become background noise for you!

The claws do not come off on this toy. FYI, there is not an off switch and the sounds tend to get on your last nerve! It even drives my 6 year old crazy!!
