New Star My First Power Racer Car in Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a nice little car, with a safe slow speed for very young children. Can change from forward to reverse with the flip of a switch, and can be steered right and left with the steering wheel. I bought this for my daughter's 1st birthday thinking that it may be a little advanced for her age. Not so! Within the hour she had learnt to drive the car, honk the horn, and press all the little sound butttons. The finer points of reverse and steering are still a little beyond her.
Pros:
- Great price for all the features it has
- Low to the ground, so not far to fall
- Safe yet fun speed. Its not too fast, but its powerful enough to ride smoothly on thick carpet, and will push any other toys in the way.
- Reverse is a must-have feature if you don't constantly want to be pulling your child out of corners.
- Honking horn on steering wheel is not too loud or harsh sounding. It isn't annoying like some others out there.
- Battery holds its charge well. Looks like durable construction.
Cons:
- We didn't realise that the accelerator is actually a foot pedal. (We thought it had a push button on the steering wheel - but no). As it turns out, our one year old figured it out within the hour so it hasn't been a problem. *However, it is dangerous while dismounting*. If the child tries to dismount on the right side, they can step on the pedal with all their weight causing the car to shoot forward, and we've had a couple of spills already. We are trying to teach her to mount and dismount from the other side only - not easy! If not for this big problem, I'd give this car 5 stars.
- The seat doesn't have a back support. Also you're sitting saddled across this - not "within" a car. True, the car doesn't go fast enough to have her jerk backwards, but it would be safer and more comfortable to be able to lean back.
- To re-charge, the screws have to be removed from the seat top. Not too much of a hassle though.
Overall we're glad we bought this. Its an affordable option and now that we are sure she enjoys the ride, we can invest in one with more bells and whistles as she gets older.
