As one of your other readers said, maybe the company improved the strength of the plastic, but maybe they didn't. We still have ours, but use a strap to hold it closed. Also, your child has to be under 3 years old and fairly short to ride on it. Otherwise it's legs drag across the floor. A great idea, that would have needed another pass in the design and manufacturing stage. Too bad, because it looks great.</p> I got one of these in NY a couple of years ago, the first one broke as I packed it to take back to TO, the replacement one lasted about 3 months before one of the closures broke off.
