a non-candy easter basket idea for little racers :: vtech

With Easter fast approaching I am full on search mode for non-candy items to fill the Easter baskets for my kiddos. Between three sets of grandparents my children will be stocked up on candy for the rest of the year and I see no need to help add to the sugar rush that is fast approaching.

If you’re a fellow parent with a kids who loves all things that GO! you need to take a look at VTech‘s new Go! Go! Smart Wheels® Press & Race™ Vehicles. The Go! Go! Smart Wheels® Press & Race™ Vehicles are pretty cool because even my toddler can figure out how to press down on the top of these vehicles and then release them to watch them scoot across the floor! Whether he is racing his Go! Go! Smart Wheels® Press & Race™ Race Car, Fire Truck, or Dump Truck I am sure to hear giggles and accompanying “Vrroommm!” noises from our pint-sized driver.

Go! Go! Smart Wheels® Press & Race™ Vehicles are even more fun for young kids because not only do can they propel themselves across the floor, they respond with fun sounds, phrases, music, and lights when pressed and released to go. As a parent you will appreciate that there is an OFF switch on the vehicles that allows you to turn off the lights and sounds while still allowing the Go! Go! Smart Wheels® Press & Race™ Vehicles to move.

If you haven’t seen the Go! Go! Smart Wheels® vehicles or sets before you may not be aware, but these are more than just fun wheeled toys for kiddos. The Go! Go! Smart Wheels® sets have the SmartPoint® system which responds with sounds, music, and phrases when placed on the SmartPoint® locations on the sets. The new Go! Go! Smart Wheels® Press & Race™ Vehicles from VTech are compatible with the Go! Go! Smart Wheels® sets and also have unique phrases that will play when places on the SmartPoint® locations!

This past Christmas our little guy got his very first Go! Go! Smart Wheels® sets and they were HUGE hits. I am not exaggerating when I say that they get played with on a daily basis by not only our almost 1-year-old son, but also his 7-year-old and 9-year-old sisters. To be able to add the Go! Go! Smart Wheels® Press & Race™ Vehicles to our toy box has made for hours of fun and some very happy kiddos! While the sets are recommend for ages 1-5 we have found that even older sisters will happily play with their little brother when Go! Go! Smart Wheels® sets are involved.
