Tracer Racers Spinz Pull Back Fast Crashing, High Flying Race Car - Blue & Gold

The car and flying disc are decently fun, durable, and easy to use. I do have a couple of notes in terms of minor inconveniences, annoyances, inaccuracies, etc. which each alone wouldn’t be a huge deal but added together made me feel it justified subtracting a star from my rating. The product page seems to say it comes with 2 discs but I only had one in the package. This car doesn’t work on carpet at all (though it doesn’t state one way or another if that’s true on the product page). If would be nice if the toy didn’t need to have the disc wound up and also be pulled back (towards a wall for the button to be pressed) in order to have both the car function and the flying disc function work. Lastly, I wish it had some form of directions on the box because it would be super cute as a gift. Granted it’s pretty simple to figure out that there’s a button on the front that makes the disc fly which is a completely separate mechanism from the car driving. Maybe some people would automatically realize the point is for the car to crash into something to release the disc, but that didn’t occur to me (I had to read it online). That being said, none of those are huge deals. Personally I do find it rather amusing so when I’m not babysitting, I’ll probably end up using it to play with my cat. She and I both enjoy watching the disc fly and then racing to grab it. So I guess this toy works well for kids, adults, and cats. (The disc is pretty small so I don’t plan on leaving the toy out unattended around my cat or children under 4.)

This is a pull-back car with a little spinner on top. The spinner is _not_ powered by the pullback mechanism, it needs to be wound separately. Despite being rather small and extremely light, it seems rather durable, and neither its weight nor size get in the way of it functioning as a pull-back car. They do get in the way of the little spinner flying off, however; at full speed with a direct hit, it works fine, but the button is so hard to press and the car is so light that anything else just knocks the spinner off instead of sending it flying. My kid has lots of fun with it, but she is a baby, and they are notoriously easy to please. If these things were $5 it'd be a no brainer, but for the price the value for money just isn't there.

I got this car for my 3 y/o Grandson to play with when he visits. It's okay, but I guess I was expecting something a little better for the price. The car is 4 /12" long and 2" wide, which isn't that big. You pull it back and it winds up the motor, then let it go and it zooms away. It works great on hard surfaces but isn't great on carpet. One thing I didn't expect is you have to wind up the helicopter part separately. The helicopter is released by a button on the front bumper. On the plus sie it seems reasonably sturdy and I'm not too worried about parts breaking off and becoming a choke hazard.
