Questions & Answers
The cars perform admirably on both flat and tufted carpet as well as hardwood floors. They are the best in this class of vehicle, and they come highly recommended. They are a hit with my grandchildren!
Yes, but I believe that machine washing would damage the car's mechanism; however, they could be washed by hand. Easily
We received this gift for our one-year-old at his birthday party, and it came at the perfect time; I believe once a child is sitting up and interested in things that move, it's perfect; they glide across hardwood floors, and we've purchased them for others of the same age. We still have them, and my two-and-a-half-year-old and four-year-old both enjoy playing with them now and then.
I'm 33 years old and I enjoy playing with them with my son, so I'm not sure if there is a hard limit. So far, my ten-year-old, eight-year-old, and five-year-old have enjoyed them as well. (They were given to the one-year-old as a present.) But, first and foremost, what age child would I recommend this to - most likely 1 3 years, though this varies greatly depending on the child.

My grandson doesn't have a lot of control over his hands, so the heavy plastic toys easily hit him in the head. Except for the wheels, these are soft and easy to grip, so I don't have to worry about him hurting himself. br>br>In addition, these work exactly as they should; you pull back and they zoom forward. br>br>Please click the "Helpful" button if this review was helpful to you. Thank you very much.
Wow, these automobiles are a lot of fun to drive. I'm blown away by their design. Because we have other pull-back toy cars that stop when they hit something. Melissa and Doug had clearly spent a significant amount of time researching their topic. So, when the vehicles collide with something, they can actually turn around and continue on their way! Amazing!.
Melissa is one of my favorites. My 9-month-old son has started chasing these cars around the house, which is the cutest thing to watch. But, what about a POLICE VEHICLE with a BLOND POLICE CAT and a COLORED THEFT RAT? Whoever created these toys has a vehemently anti-government agenda. Receiving this specific car for my baby made me feel violated as a woman of color.
I like them, but there is one caveat: two of them are taller and blockier than the others. If your child uses these and pushes down on them with their weight, they have a tendency to flip out from underneath (which resulted in several decent head impacts on a hard wood floor in our case because he would put all of his weight on the vehicle and push it across the floor). Those two were actually taken away early and have yet to be returned- I'm sure he wasn't the only kid who had problems with those. He's perfectly content with his taxi and police car, which he's had since he was five years old. 6 months (could only push it a little, but he was super soft and couldn't hurt himself) to almost 2 years. These items are tough and can be washed without removing them from the wheels. He prefers to drive them backwards rather than forwards because he enjoys the sound (grinding, overwound), and they still cruise just fine.
My child appears to enjoy the cars in their current state of functionality; I suspect he would enjoy them just as much if they were painted in the style of a clown throwing up paint. Nonetheless, due to the aftermarket modifications that were required, I feel compelled to give it a one-star rating. br>br>First and foremost, the inclusion of a cop car for no discernible (logical) reason appears to be a strange ideological choice in order to venerate the status of far-reaching authority. from- cherished (i. e. In society, it is a powerful (and frequently oppressive) force. Keep in mind that this is a toy for a 1-year-old child. year- It seems strange for a toy company to inject ideology into an eight-year-old child who has no ideological conceptions yet. On some levels, I suppose it's appropriate that it's made by a company called "Melissa. " Doug" because these are the types of people who would call the cops for almost any minor offense. It appears out of place next to unarmed "public" services (a school bus, a fire truck, and a taxi cab, though not a public service). Given the inclusion of the taxi cab, it's clear that there's no aversion to using only tax-free transportation. Services that are paid for by the public - As a result, including EMS would appear to be a more ideologically neutral option (i. e. a service that saves lives instead of taking them away). br>br>Perhaps in the next iteration, Melissa will be more involved. Doug will substitute a border patrol car for a school bus and an Uber car driven by an underpaid teacher for a taxi cab.
They're a lot of fun to play with. There are no batteries required, the design is fantastic, the colors are vibrant, and the product is well-made. made. That's the kind of toy we're looking for. My grandson's first experience with cars was watching them move as we drove them. They began to crawl after them after that. time and time again It won't be long before they figure out how to make them move, and then they'll be able to enjoy these adorable vehicles on a whole new level. The speed and range of these vehicles will astound you. They have the ability to bounce off of walls and continue on their way. The school bus in both sets we bought does not travel straight, which is odd, but it isn't a deal-breaker. By any stretch of the imagination, this is a deal breaker. The wheels velcro off and on to allow for proper cleaning of the toys. This book comes highly recommended, and it would make a wonderful birthday present.
law, who can't seem to stop herself from buying them for all of her new baby friends. I understand why. They're incredible! My wife and I have a lot of fun with them as well. The soft car bodies are brilliant (and super cute), and they move a lot on a hardwood or tile floor. The best part is that nothing happens if they collide head-on with furniture, walls, or our child. They simply bounce off or come to a halt. We've been playing with them for a few months now, and they're still working just as well as they did when we first got them. Our 17-month-old is still figuring out how to pull and let go, but he enjoys pushing them around as much as he does pulling them. I'm about to board the train and buy them for a few of my friends. br>br>If you have smooth floors, these are sure to be a hit with any child who enjoys moving things around.
He wasn't immediately interested in them, but as he grew older, they quickly became his favorite toys! br>br>Now that he's almost a year and a half old, he can easily handle the cars and spends hours each day playing with them. He takes at least one with him everywhere he goes, and he even has one in his crib. He hasn't quite figured out how to pull them back, but they work just as well for pushing forward; these cars go a long way! I like that the cars are soft for safety (and that they don't scratch floors or other surfaces when they collide with them). To make cleaning easier, the wheels can be removed.
