 Requires Creative Thinking Oct 15, 2007
By MamaB
This is a great toy for critical thinking and for following directions. We found that it takes a lot of patience for a four year old because he can't do much of the 'putting together' by himself - some pieces are a tight fit and the directions are complex.

 Looks fun, but doesn't work Dec 25, 2006
By Healthy 40+
What a disappointment -- and a rather pricey mistake. The idea looks good on paper, but this toy was difficult to assemble (small hands couldn't push the pieces together) and the antenna was almost immediately broken by our 4-yr-old. Once my husband (an engineer) finally put it together, the gears kept binding up and it wouldn't go. I'm going to ask the manufacturer to issue a refund or credit towards one of their other products which has been kid-tested and less of a chore.

 Lots of wonderful Gears! Jan 20, 2007
By Grandmom
"Barb"
I purchased this for my 3-12/ year old Grandson for Christmas. And one month later he still loves it.
This is a wonderful Daddy & Son toy, Dad builds (follows the instructions) and Son finds the pieces (size, shape,colors and quantity,) in the earlier years. Definitely, helps to foster a team effort and bonding time with Dad & Son, without the aid of TV or Computers! With their team effort they build their creation and to everyones delight watch it maneuver up, around and over what ever is put in it's way with the remote. My Grandson is now trying to build on his own, by trying to follow the book (pictures)and his own imagination; but likes to seeks Dad's advice and albeit to continue to foster their bond! This toy will keep both adults and children entertained for a long time, ageless toy!

Floppy Jalopy Feb 25, 2008
By Tlcmt
This toy was bought for my child therapy practice and I took one look at the contents and knew that it was too complicated and had so little reference to a real car that there was no way to relate to it. I am going to give it to my grandson for his birthday, and I wonder if he won't find it too complicated also. Your basic gears are much more useable and allow the child to create their own fun. I will buy one of those and let the kid create their own jalopy.

Difficult toy, poorly made Dec 18, 2006
By C. Piccus
We just bought this product (through another source) for our 4-year old. First of all, this is much too involved and complicated for a 4-year old to follow. Second, he broke it immediately. The tabs that the gears connect to are not very strong; this has made the motorized based unusable. The gear idea is cute, but I will stick to legos and tinker toys in the future.
