I knew from the minute that I saw the Plasma car that Lil B would love it. This “car” is reminiscent of a Big Wheel except that you don’t peddle. Your feet remain stationary on the foot pads and to move the car you turn the wheel. The faster you turn the wheel, the faster your car is able to go. You can go backwards and forwards or if you’re crazy enough you can go all around in circles, which is what Lil B does when he drives sometimes.
We had him open this birthday present last because I had a feeling that it was going to be his favorite. He wanted it put together immediately when he found out what it was. In fact, he couldn’t be bothered to wait for his dad to do it so he started to assemble the few parts and tried to put it together himself. When that plan didn’t work so well for him, he was nice enough to let his dad help and he was up and moving in no time.
He tried it out on our driveway first. He is in the video, going crazy (in a good way), speeding away as he tries it out for the first time. After he got off, he proclaimed that this was the best birthday ever just because he received his Plasma Car. Out of all the toys that he received, this has been the most used one of all. Every time he has a chance he is riding his car. When he is with his dad he rides it around the paths in their apartment complex or takes it down to the basketball court when no one is playing and rides it around there. Sometimes he rides it in the house, too, though he doesn’t like that as much because he can’t speed like he does outside. He’s become quite the little speed demon with his Plasma Car, but he loves it and that’s what matters!
One of the best things about the Plasma Car from a parental standpoint is that it will work for any child. A friend of Dom’s mentioned on Facebook that her child was able to use a Plasma Car. The impressive thing about this is that her child has a progressive muscle disease. The child cannot ride a bike or even walk, so being able to sit on this and move his arms to get him going is incredibly liberating. It’s great for the child and the parent because the child can just go and the parents don’t have to worry about adapting another toy.
Both young and old children will have fun with the Plasma car. This gives the toy a great sense of staying power. It’s made with high quality plastic and isn’t missing anything from the box. Just one payment and you have a toy that will work for years. Lil B turned five when he got his, though I can see him playing with it for a long time to come. As much as he seems to love it, I can’t imagine him tossing it aside any time soon. However, with the quality of the product I am sure he will outgrow it before it outgrows (or wears out on) him.
When we spoke to the folks at Plasma Car about a review, I asked for the blue or green car. Green is actually one of Lil B’s favorite colors so I was glad to see the Green car when it arrived. The other colors to pick from include Purple, Red, Pink, and Yellow. Each of the cars are available for $69.95 (the same price for Canadian buyers, as well). Considering the type of product this is and the amount of use a child will get out of it, this isn’t a bad price at all. Despite getting this for review, I would have had no problem purchasing a Plasma Car at this price.
If you have young children I highly recommend picking up a Plasma Car. Lil B loved it and I am sure your little ones will love it, too. It’s great to keep them active and on the go and it works great as a fun outdoor toy. Under the circumstances, it’s also pretty inexpensive. It’s not something you will buy as an everyday toy, but it would be perfect for a birthday or holiday.
