Charger Reviews

This cute car is loads of fun, even for my young son. We purchased it a couple of weeks before his third birthday. The first day he mainly went in circles because he did not know how to control the steering, but he quickly mastered going and stopping along with forward and reverse. The next day he mastered the steering wheel, and now he is unstoppable!

I recommend this car for kids ages 3 to 6/7 (depending on the weight and height). Our seven year old son, who weighs around 60 pounds, loves it. He would ride it often IF his brother would let him. Because his brother isn't much for sharing this toy, my older son wrote to Santa (in July) and asked him to make a bigger version of Sally (the blue car in the movie) so that he and his brother could race.

Features:
- Minor assembly required (most stickers are already on the car)
- Looks great (the neighbors gawk - adults and kids alike)
- Loads of fun!!! My son insist on riding in his car everyday.
- Good product (battery last about 2 1/2 miles before it needs to be recharged)
- Sensible size (perfect size for riding on the sidewalk and stores well in our crowded garage)
- Good for active parents (goes fast enough for a good pace jog (5 mph) or a comfortable walk (2 1/2 mph) along)

This car would most likely be a hit with any kid, especially one who has seen the movie Pixar Cars.

This car is perfect! My son is three, and he is obsessed with hot wheels, trucks, and RACE CARS! He loves it. There is a lock on the high speed, so he can only go 2.5 miles per hour until I am ready for him to go the full 5 mph. It is easy to steer for him, and after only 30 min. of driving it, he's got it down. The car is adorable, and he looks great driving it. I would highly recommend this toy to any girl or boy who is a big fan of cars (the toys) or CARS the Movie. It's too much fun!

Great to have on long road trips so you can save the batteries while traveling!

This is a must have for any child with a V-Smile. It is especially great for long trips saving the battery life for when you get to your destination.

This is a very handy product to have around for our 3-year old if the batteries happen to die while traveling. The AC adapter is a life-saver for long car trips.

Just as an aside note, the adapter does NOT look like the one in the picture. It is gray-and-orange, like the adapters you seen in the store.

I bought this toy for my 15-month-old and he enjoys it. The problem is that he figured out how to take off the safety belt in two seconds. (It is made of velcro.) While I was taking him for a ride, he quickly ripped the belt off and stood up. He fell over onto the sidewalk. A belt with a clasp would be better. I know the car goes only 2 mph, but it is faster than you realize. Some improvements are needed.

I USUALLY DONT WRITE REVIEWS BUT THIS TOY IS GREAT. HE LOVES TO SIT IN THIS WHILE WE GO FOR WALKS...HE LIKES THIS A LOT BETTER THAN HIS STROLLER. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS IT IS LITTLE LOUD BUT FOR A 15-20 MINUTE WALK HE LOVES IT. IT ALSO HAS A HANDLE FOR MOM AND DAD TO PUSH WHICH IS A GREAT FEATURE FOR THE YOUNGER KIDS.

I love this toy for my daughter. We bought it for her first birthday and she loves it. The only bad thing is the safety strap needs to be redesigned. She figured out how to take it off in point two. Other than that this toy is great.....

I bought this product because of the reviews hoping it would be something different for my grandsons 4 & 6. They did like it while we all were with them playing, but it didn't keep them amused very long when they were on there own. They are just starting to play together and maybe they needed to be more competitive for this toy. It really didn't hold up that well. An adult and child toy would better describe it for that age group.

Great! Our 8 year old kid loved it since the first day. My husband plays with our son every sunday and have a lot of fun together.

I bought this toy for less than $6 in deal. Within two days toy was in my house. My son was very happy. Even I had great time. I was amazed the performance of these cars. They are very powerful for their size. This toy needs 8 AAA batteries which is little expensive affair over the period of time but rechargables will fix this. Putting stickers takes little time as they are very tiny. Once everything in place then only thing left will be FUN FUN FUN.

My husband and I purchased two of the yellow mini-motos for our boys in Dec. 2005. In April 2006 the problems started occurring. The trottle, the electonic module, and the back tire. The company sent us two electronic modules and they both sparked as soon as they were attached. We have have since being trying to get them back on the phone, but the line is constantly busy, or the background music plays on and on and on. I have been emailing them but no one ever responds. So at this point we are stuck with two non-working mini-motorcycles, and on top of that our 6 month warrantly expired on June 12,2006. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM BECAUSE IT WILL EVENTUALLY STOP WORKING AND YOU WILL BE LEFT HOLDING THE BAG!!!!

I bought this a few years back. Immediatly something broke on it. Chain constantly needs adjusting. I have another scooter with the same speed on it (up to 15mph) and the other brand definatly blows this thing away. It definalty does not go anywhere near 15 even with only 60 lbs on it. I had a friend who is 150 go on it and the thing wouldnt move!

i bought this toy, and it was really fun. It does not go as slow as the others describe it. they are lying. It goes pretty fast. Mine worked perfectly, and it still works good. Its a goodo motorcycle for the price!

The box says you can turn on the motor, toss it like a paper airplane and it will fly, fly, fly while you steer it with a radio controller.

The plane is made of styrofoam with some "reinforcing tape" (read cheap thin shipping tape).

What it does:
Nose dives, explode into pieces while the motor keeps running. If you want to spend an hour putting it together, then have a disappointing experience watching your project explode, this is THE toy for you.

This plane was purchased for my son. First Flight (following all directions) we threw the plane as stated in directions and it did not fly but fell to the ground. Broke the battery, had to have it fixed. the next day tried again did not fly at all but when we threw it, it fell to the gound and snapped right in half.. THIS IS A JUNK JET Toys R Us should be ashamed of themselves for selling this product to give to the many children that worship there store. My son was so heartbroken. We are going to attempt to take it back to the store with out the receipt since it was a gift we do not have the receipt. I hope Toys R Us is an honorable store that will understand!!! Do not buy this product!

We have several other planes from Estes that fly very good. We decided to get this one and had nothing but problems. One day we flew it and it flew away and fortunately came back. A few days later we flew it again (perfect wind conditions) and it flew away again and this time it did not come back. My 8 year old son was so upset. All of the other Estes products that we have tried have been great but not this one. It seemed like the radio couldn't control the plane reliably.

If I go out and buy a new car I hope it comes with a battery.If I get a hamburger is there not meat included in the deal.I thought i was getting a great deal(didnt read the fine).but now I have to hunt down a flexpack.I`m heading out to get a snowcone now,i hpe it comes with some flavoring and not just ice.and by the way not every hobby shop has this battery pack

This is the first remote control toy that has kept my son's interest for more than a day. Tony Hawks doesn't just travel in a boring straight line. The more he plays with it, the more tricks he figures out. It even gets up remotely if it topples over during a stunt. My son has used and abused this toy for over a year now, and I'm surprised at how long it has survived all those tumbles and stairs jumping. I stopped buying my son rc vehicles because he would get bored of them in no time, but this toy is worth every penny. If I find it on sale, I would definitely buy a few to put away as gifts.

Why is everyone going crazy that you need to get a flexpak, anyone that did any research on this at all would know that it needs a 7.2v flexpak. I do not own this but I think that it is not right how people bash Tyco on how it doesn't include a battery pack. Think of the good reasons why it doesn't include a battery pack, like, if you already own a battery pack then it would be bad if you got another one just because you bought a rc car that already had one, you would almost be wasting 30$. You can get these battery packs almost anywhere if your at the store there in the same place as the rc cars. It says it right on the box, "requires 7.2v Flexpak" comon! If you buy it at amazon it says "uses Flexpak (not included)". How do you miss that??? Almost all Tyco cars don't include battery packs (which is a good thing), if you don't have a battery pack just go get buy one.

This 'jet ski' looked like a lot of fun, but after charging the battery as directed, it was a waste of time and money, and has been returned. Hard to explain to a 5 year old why his present didn't work. The 'jet ski' tips over easily, and the battery never did work. I ordered a 'boat' from the same manufacturer for a 7 year old, and it was fine. (Used D batteries.) Wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

This is a great product my son loves it.. But he is 3.. even tough the manufacture's recommended age for this is 8 years, I don't see how a child that old could have fun on this.. Also if you get this for a child heavier than 50lbs expect him to end up in the water alot, The heavier you are the easier this tips over..

This is honestley one of the best prouducts i've ever bough fo so little! This is worth 100 dollars, but they sell it for 38 dollars! incredible!
