It depends on how they use them. I had one of those when I was little and we never got hurt and I am sure that they have only gotten safer. We could have gotten hurt though because we used to tie a jump rope to the back and put on skates and hold onto the rope, don't let your kids do this because they are not really controlling their own speed and whether they go or stop. I think that the cars are safe as long as kids stay on sidewalks and in your driveway and use the car properly (like not standing up in it, tying a rope on the back, jumping in and out when it is moving, etc.)

As safe as the parent makes the situation. I live in an apartment complex and someone allowed their child to ride one around the parking lot at dusk and shortly thereafter a car came speeding thru the area. If the parent makes sure the child is in a safe area, the child should be fine.

I think they are fairely safe for children as long as the child is playing in a secure and level area.

As safe as any other kids toy...just keep them out of the street!
I put a lawn mower battery in my daughters "Jeep" when the original battery died, it hauls *** and she loves it.

Depends. #1 they should be at the age where they can understand to stay still. So two is too young. Second,not on a busy street. They go very slow(like 3mph). My brothers had one. Just stay close.

My grandson had one a few yrs ago, it seemed safe enough, but I would never let a child ride one unattended. He enjoyed it, but we lived in the country with plenty of room.

I've seen many accidents with them. I mean they don't go fast or anything, but it's hard enough for adults to drive safely these days.
