Pink PlasmaCar
From the Manufacturer
It’s like magic, but you don’t need to be a magician to get it to work. The PlasmaCar is a mechanical marvel that makes use of that most inexhaustible of energy sources, kid-power, by harnessing the natural forces of inertia, centrifugal force, gravity, and friction. It’s so easy to operate; all it needs is a driver and a smooth, flat surface. The PlasmaCar is adult-friendly, too. For starters, it doesn’t require an expensive power source that needs constant replacement. No batteries, no power-cells, no liquid fuel-just the occasional cookie or two. It’s quiet too-the only sound you’ll hear is the sound of its wheels. It provides kids with plenty of exercise, more so than most toys. And the PlasmaCar is engineered to be absolutely safe when used appropriately. It’s been extensively tested, and meets or exceeds all significant international safety standards.¿ Fully Assembled: 31″ x¿ 14″ x 16″¿¿¿¿ 8.15 lbs

My 6 year old grandson got one for this past Christmas. His 8 year old brother really liked it and used some of his Christmas money to purchase one. Then his 4 year old sister wanted one for her birthday. So now there are 3 of them and the kids are having great fun with them. They ride them on their tile floor in their home and outside on the sidewalk. There is even a 2 1/2 year old who has no problem making them go. I don’t know if the car has been improved since the August 2007 review, but my grandkids have had no problems getting the cars to go fast. It amazes me how they can turn them on a dime and totally miss the walls in the house. Sometimes the boys will give the girls rides and even with the extra body on it, the thing really goes.
I ordered this car for my 2yr old’s birthday present. I was hesitant b/c the youngest suggested age is 3yrs, and I didn’t want it to sit unused for a year. But happily she is able to use the car just fine. Within a few moments she got into a rhythm and did great. She isn’t super fast on it, but that doesn’t bother me since she is still little. She was cracking up and having a ball. And I enjoyed it very much myself. We got on it together (and sadly we were VERY near the 220lb weight limit) and it still worked like a charm. No complaints. I was surprised that the car came in a plain brown box. I don’t know if that is EVERY plasma car, or if I just got a returned product. Still everything was in the box, and it all appeared to be new. I also ordered a generic brand “coaster car” for my nephew so that they could play on them together. The “coaster car” works just as well. It is made of slightly less strong plastic, and I did have to retighten the center bolt after a few hours of use. But it was definitely a good buy at $22 cheaper than this. I am happy with both purchases and would make both of them again.
