Zoom around with the Plasmacar

If you’re like me, you’ve seen cool little cars zipping around the neighbourhood. They’re flashy, fast and you don’t need to use your feet to make them move. These cool cars are called Plasmacars and they are totally awesome!

I was so excited to team up with Plasmacar to test out one of these funky cars and tell you all about them.

My kids were thrilled when I opened the box to find a shinny new red car. After my hubby assembled it (in about 5 minutes) rules had to be established. Each child would get 5 minutes to zoom around with it and then would have to surrender it to the other. This is always a challenge when new samples arrive. But they listened and started enjoying the Plasmacar without fighting. Whew!

The Plasmacar is made of high quality plastic and does not require any gears or pedals. A child simply needs to place their feet on the car and steer away. It moves smoothly and fast!

Even though it’s designed for ages 3 and up my little guy (20 months) is able to move around on it. I have even taken it for a spin now and then!

The Plasmacar has won several awards including an iParenting and the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award (2005).

My kids love their Plasmacar. They do everything from washing it to holding races with it. They now join the neighbourhood kids and zoom around on it on our street. They adore their red “sports car”.

If you’re in the market for a cool outside ride-on this summer look no further than the Plasmacar. This toy is of high quality, maneuvers well and can easily be passed on from an older child to its younger sibling.

The Plasmacar comes in 5 great colours. You can buy the Plasmacar for $64.95 in several stores across Canada and the US. You can also find it on the Chapters/Indigo website.

  1. I would love one of these toys. I look after children with special needs at my home on the week to give their parents respite. I don’t have a lot of my own toys, since I do not have children. So this would be a perfect addition to my small collection that would probably give them hours of fun.

  2. I’m not sure who would love it more my son or daughter, almost wish they came in parent sizes too;)

  3. I have three children under three years old. So yeah, finding something to entertain them like one of these would be great!
