Editorial Review:
Take home your very own Roary racing car! Remote controlled Roary comes with a steering wheel control so you can steer Roary forwards, backwards, left or right! The remote is chunky and easy for little hands to use. With sound and phrases. A fun first remote controlled car that allows your child to control the play - great for the next Schumacher in training! Bright colours and human like "face" make him appear friendly.

Avoid at all costs My 4 year old son bought this car with his birthday money.

Light 'em up, Roary!!! My son and I have had great fun with this toy over the past couple of months, and still do -- best Christmas present I ever bought!

Good Fun But Poor turn and wheels spin This toy was bought for my son's 4 birthday. He was able to quickly grasp the remote contol functions so enjoyed it for a while. However my comments echo those of others, as the car is vitually impossible to control with any accuracy. The Steering is slow to respond and makes it difficult to steer round any corners. This means that you have to practice multiple three point turns to get around even a fairly small space. The wheels also have a tendency to spin when you try to move forwards, again making the... more info
Excellent Fun! All I can say is that it goes faster than I thought it would, and can happily drive around our house (which isn't particularly big). I would say turning circle of about 6 feet, and drives at an adults walking pace, so perhaps the other reviewer had a faulty car?
The remote is infra-red so you have to keep it in sight to drive it, other than that you just need to keep that dad's of it!
Not very educational but you wouldn't expect it to be, the sounds are also good (and can be muted if they get... more info
