Step2 X-Rider Review & Giveaway

Ride on toys can give hours of enjoyment to children. The Step2 X-Rider is a strudy little ride on that is simple to assemble. On a scale from 1 to 10, it's an easy 1 to assemble in 5 minutes. The X-rider is for children 1 1/2 years and up to 43 pounds and affordable priced around $29.99. Can be used indoors and outdoors.

My 2 year old loves it he scoots all around the house with the Step2 X-Rider. It's compact and light weight easy for little ones to maneuver around and easily rolls forward and backwards. X design crossing each other makes the X-Rider secure and stable, providing great balance for little ones. My son thinks he is a stunt man and you can see the x design under when he turns it upwards in the video. With him bumping around and playing stunt man it's holding up great. Strong and durable, nothing less than what I would expect from Step2 toys.



My son has tremendously enjoyed the Step2 X-Rider and we thank Step2 for the opportunity to review one of their quality toys. My family knows Step2 products are made to last. We also have a Step2 X-Rider to giveaway!!! Yep! pretty exciting! US Winner, 48 contiguous US States!

Disclosure:  All opionions are my own. Sponsor provided sample product for me to test and one for giveaway.
