Playskool Tonka Bounce Back Racer (Band B)49 Mhz - Colors May Vary

Comment: I got this for my 3 y/o son this past weekend ... I thought it looked like a great first R/C car, and for $30, I thought it would be worth the money. .... I was wrong! What a waste! ... Like other people have said, it uses 7 batteries (wow!), and yet, it only runs for a litte bit before it stops working. We kept having to turn it off/on again to get it to work. ... And the range of the remote to the car is only about 15 feet - so when my son tried to use it in our 25 foot long driveway, the car was out of range before it reached the end. Not to mention, it's not very fast. My son has played with his counsin's traditional R/C cars, and those things MOVE - this one was like a snail in comparisson. Grant it - we were outside on a driveway, so maybe it would have been better indoors, but still, it was a LOT slower than I thought it would be. .... My son was completely bored by the car in less than 10 minutes, and didn't want to play with it anymore after that (Even later in the evening when I tried bringing it out again). So we'll be returning this vehicle to the toy store today.

Comment: I bought this as a gift, so I have no idea how it is holding up now. The battery installation was a little bit of a problem. We put them in correctly and the car didn't work, so after messing around with it for a bit, it magically decided to work. The whole process was very irritating because the batteries are held in by a screwed-on panel, so make sure you have a tiny screwdriver available. Also, the car does not really flip over when it hits a wall, which really irritates children when they (and you) think that it's supposed to flip over. So, just don't tell them that it will flip over and you'll be fine!

Comment: This product does not work, the range is really bad and it doesn't even flip over like it's supposed to.

Comment: This car has provided loads of fun for my 3 year old (& parents). It is simple enough for this age and powerful enough to go on all surfaces in our house. The biggest downside is the amount of batteries (7!!). Highly recommend getting rechargeables.

Comment: The product is durable and my 5 year old enjoyes. But, it does not bounce back as advertiesed, it has to hit and object just right in order to flip, it flip more often based on the way you operate the controler. The adults are better at this than the 5 year old. There is not alot of control on turing the vehicle right and left.
