When PlaSmart asked if I would review their award winning original PlasmaCar I jumped at the chance! This is one of the coolest toys ever and it's powered by an inexhaustible energy source- KID POWER! There are no pedals, gears or batteries. The original PlasmaCar is a ride on toy that uses inertia and friction to power its motion. The PlasmaCar is propelled by turning the wheel back and forth. You can go as fast as 6 mph.
The PlasmaCar came unassembled but was super easy to put together. It took my husband about 15 minutes to install the wheels and steering wheel. The directions in the box were well written and very simple to understand. And even the most uncoordinated of people (me!) can put it together very easily! The only tools required were a rubber mallet and a screwdriver.
I love that the PlasmaCar features a wider seat so older kids can enjoy it and that my kids can enjoy it together! It can hold up to 220 pounds so Moms and Dads can join in and share in the fun too! I admit I took a turn on the PlasmaCar and we all had a good laugh. The seat is designed to place riders in a comfortable position while minimizing tipping. My kids had a great time riding it together!
We did find that whether you use the PlasmaCar indoors or outdoors it works best on a very flat surface. And it may leave marks on some hardwood floors so be cautious. We have laminate flooring and it did not leave any marks in my house and my 2 year old and 4 year old have travelled miles on it!
As you can see from the smiles on my children's faces they loved this toy! They have been using it in all their make believe games and would love another so they can have races! The
PlasmaCar comes in 6 different colours and it is suitable for boys and girls age 3 and up. They are available at major retailers like Chapters and Toys R Us. Don't forget to check out PlaSmart and all their awarding toys
