Foot-to-floor. Kids sit on the seat and push themselves along with their feet, like a classic ride-on. No motor, no battery pack, no pedals. The movement is entirely child-powered, which makes it suitable from 3 years when kids have enough leg strength to propel it with purpose.

Up to 50 kg. That's well beyond the typical 3 to 6 year age range this truck is aimed at, so structural durability isn't really a concern for the expected user. A 6-year-old on the heavier side can still use it without any issue.

The 3-year minimum is mostly about leg reach and steering control. A child needs to sit comfortably on the seat while still being able to plant their feet flat and push - at 2.5, that depends entirely on the child's height. Taller 2.5-year-olds often manage fine. Shorter ones will struggle to get traction and might tip sideways turning corners.

It steers. The front wheels turn, giving kids directional control as they ride. Not precision steering, but enough to navigate around a compound or garden path without constantly running into things. Which, honestly, half the fun at this age.

Both are foot-to-floor ride-ons for similar age groups, but the 7134 has a functional front scoop bucket that kids can raise, load, and tip. The 7017 is a flatbed construction truck without the scoop - simpler, more about the riding experience itself. The 7134 suits kids who want something to do while they ride; the 7017 suits kids who just want to drive.

The listing describes it as a comfortable seat. It's moulded plastic, not padded - standard for outdoor ride-ons in this category. For a 3 or 4-year-old doing short garden sessions, it's perfectly fine. Extended multi-hour sessions on hard ground are probably not what this is designed for, but that applies to most ride-ons of this type.

The listing says lightweight and easy to assemble - no tools mentioned as required. For most ride-ons of this design, assembly usually involves attaching the wheels and possibly the seat, which takes maybe 10 to 15 minutes. Probably manageable solo, though an extra pair of hands makes it easier to hold pieces steady while connecting them.
