If your child is like a magnet to the most hazardous objects in the room then this could well be for you. It is a self assembly set that has a padded seat and three sturdy springs so that your child can amuse themselves in safety. The based can swivel 360 degrees so you can point them in the direction of the TV or another family member.

It has a range of three metres and has some impressive speeds providing the batteries are fully charged. The charge takes about 6-8 hours and there is a lack of power which might leave you feeling a bit impotent when paired with traditional supped up models, however it is great for younger teens wanting to race inside.
Whatever you choose from the vast array of toys for children you can more or less guarantee that they will want something else, probably something that came on TV five minutes ago that is completely unsuitable. The toys featured here are for a range of age groups and it is advisable to ensure that the toys are safe for your childs age before purchase.
