Instructions

Select a Barbie Jeep

1. Understand that the most popular Barbie Jeep right now is a motorized Jeep. The child can drive herself and a passenger through the house or about the yard.

2. Choose the Barbie Kelly Seahorse Playset Featuring Jeep Wrangler for children that you do not feel are ready for a "get inside" type of Barbie Jeep. This playset features a Jeep that fits Barbie dolls.

3. Select a radio-controlled Barbie Jeep toy as another alternative to a pricy full-sized motorized Jeep.

4. Select a used Barbie toy Jeep if you want to save money or don't need a new full-sized Jeep. Auctions sites such as eBay often sell used toys (see Resources below). The Fisher Price Power Wheels Barbie Cruisin' Tunes Jeep is a sturdy motorized Barbie Jeep that is sometimes available from private sellers.

5. Choose the Barbie Jammin' Jeep Wrangler for children that love listening to music. This Barbie Jeep features a real radio and ten songs on a simulated CD player that actually play. This is a full-sized motorized Jeep.

6. Select a Barbie toy accessory jeep instead of a full-size motorized Jeep for a child who still loves Barbies but is too old to ride in one of the motorized ones.

Tips & Warnings

• Supplies of new Barbie motorized Jeeps can run out quickly during holiday periods. Plan ahead to purchase one early.

• Motorized Barbie Jeeps can need new tires and even electrical maintenance. Ask your local toy retailer what the upkeep on this toy can cost.
• Barbie motorized Jeeps operate on batteries that require periodic recharging.
• These Jeeps are not recommended for children under the age of three. Children over the age of eight are also likely to be too big to fit in the Jeeps.
