The Power Wheels Barbie Jammin Jeep Wrangler – its pink, its Barbie and little girls (and possibly some boys) seem to absolutely love it!
This stylish but durable Jeep is great for kids in the 3 to 5 year old age range.
It has many features which make it just like getting in Mom’s car. It comes with real doors which open and close and a storage compartment to hold everything the kids need for that long journey round the garden!
A favourite feature of the Power Wheels Barbie Jammin Jeep with all the kids seems to be the real FM radio, now, I do know of some instances where the radios don’t always pick up any stations whilst many others are absolutely fine. I would suggest that perhaps your location may have some bearing on the success of getting more than just static noise from the radio.
You will find that Barbie’s Jammin Jeep has two speeds it can be set to low – which is capable of reaching 2.5 mph or high when it can get up to an amazing 5 mph which is pretty fast for a 3 year old! However, before panic sets in. You can lock out the higher speed which is probably the safest option whilst the child is still learning how to steer and manage the jeep properly and for the your children. There is also the facility for reverse and it has power lock brakes.
Power for all of this is generated by a 12 volt battery which I have on authority can be fully charged in only 2 hours using the fast charger, it is also easy to remove. It also holds out well for a good few hours of riding. Having a spare fully charged battery is a good idea to avoid the game having to stop early!

The manufacturer claims that the Barbie Jammin Jeep will work well on hard surfaces or grass. Now, this seems to be where the conflict begins. I have spoken to some parent/grandparents who say that their child has had no problem with spinning wheels whilst driving on smooth surfaces etc. while others say, they have had to purchase rubber band coverings for the shiny hard plastic wheels to help get more traction. The good news is, that even those who have had to purchase the rubber bands still love the jeep, and once they have been attached to the wheels of the Barbie Jammin Jeep it really can whiz off! – One crafty parent also informed me that black duck tape put round the plastic wheels works equally as well as rubber bands.

The one draw back for the adults purchasing this jeep is that you will have to assemble it. It comes in many parts and it has been known to take a while to put together although the instructions are very clear and concise.
