Very cool Chris. Congrats!! When is she due?
Pickup one of the Power Wheel Hurricanes when you see one on CL for cheap.... likely the front end is toast (as this seems to be their weak point), but with a little scrap and some welding, that can be fixed right up (yes.... I said welding on a plastic toy (and thank you Josh for the education!)). They even have a website where guys do full blown steering setups with hiems and all (souped up motors, 24v setups, etc.). I didn't go that far, but picked up the toy for 60 bucks, 30 into a new set of wheels, and an hour or so of my time with some scrap lying around the garage to fix the steering (much better than that 450 price tag they have on them at the store). It's a little scratched up, but my two year old is already talking about "rolling it when he goes crawling on those rocks" (as he points to the south Jetty), so I doubt it will be long before we're cutting out plastic for more clearance.
But enough about my hygiene (<<<hmm, spell correct has some awful interesting ideas how to fix up a fucked up spelling of high jinx), from there you're fucked.... probably best to just start saving for a frame jig and just call it a "college fund." You are trying to raise the next KOH King, right?
I'd have pointed you at a Toyota Power Wheel... but don't think they have the chopsticks required for assembly anywhere in the back of the store at Toys-R-Us. Although you'd think they would based upon their name.
