Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We looked forward to giving this toy to our son for Christmas. Kids ages 2-3 love to push toys and control them: lawnmowers, vacuums - these toys are perfect for the age group and interest. Our son was so excited. However, when we opened it up, he was immediately frustrated. It doesn't stand up. As you use it, the back wheels constantly get stuck and the vacuum cannot click and stay in place. So, when you want it to stand up or lean, it cannot stay up and when you want to push it, it tends to momentarily lock upright. We know how to get it back to the right place, but kids of this age group need to experience independence in play and it makes our son so frustrated to not be able to stand it up or play with it by himself. The dispenser to collect dust is difficult even for us to remove. The vacuum is also very small, even for our averaged-sized 2.5 year old son. We also recognize that the vacuum does not have suction as advertised (not a huge problem for a kids' toy but it should not be advertised this way) although overall, we agree that the toy "sucks."
