What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Customer feedback is mixed on stair performance. The listing describes walking action, but some customers report that the toy does not work on stairs. Treat stair-walking performance as uncertain. The listing gives both a general age range of Youth and a recommended age of 5 - 12 years, while its feature copy says ages 5 and up. It lists dimensions of 9 x 3 x 2.5 inches and separately states a 2.75-inch diameter, so confirm which measurement refers to the toy's form if exact sizing matters.
