I actually think it is real cute. It has so so so much more play value at our home. The dolls love to go cruising on it all the time. The tree swing was played with once and now sits on my dresser, but still a must have. I really love the scooter and since it is not real large, there storage part has not become a factor. i would encourage to you to get it. Can't imagine how much they will go for next year on ebay!
