Hot Wheels is a company known worldwide for its toy cars collections. Here, they introduce a whole mini auto fleet! With a single buy, you get a truck and 3 light motor vehicles that can be hidden inside the truck. For this very reason, the plastic truck has a trailer. Furthermore, children can fit more than just 3 cars into the trailer, it is designed to contain up to 14 Hot Wheels vehicles. That's quite a good start! Your kid will have a chance to play with friends, find some new ones, get a lot of fun and enhance communicative skills.
Operation Type
Although the light vehicles are mechanical, your kids can entertain themselves by "shooting" cars from the truck. Load them into the trailer first, pull the trigger, and release it! The children will be stunned by how fast and far their toy cars will go. This is all achieved thanks to the built-in kid-powered launcher. Otherwise, all the vehicles in the set are simply driven around the room by your children's hands.
Age
The truck is 20" x 3.5" x 5" in size and 1.1 lbs in weight. Hot Wheels vehicles boast 1:64 scale. The latter dimension means that these cars are quite tiny, therefore they aren't recommended for use of the kids younger than 3 years old. Toddlers tend to take various things into their mouths, thus such small cars can easily be swallowed. At the same time, kids over 3 are often old enough to fully enjoy this kind of game. They will happily try themselves both as racers and as truck drivers.

There is a chance that you yourself will play with this electric car toy more than your kid. If you love car races and dream about a supercar, that is. But we hope your child will not suffer from this! Anyway, this toy car with a remote control is a replica of 2007's limited Lamborghini Reventón. The number of cars produced was really small, only 20 (20 to be sold and 1 for the Museo Lamborghini). The toy car replicates the original in the smallest details, and its rims and tires have a glossy finish topcoat. With this toy car, your kid will feel like a real racer!
Operation Type
The two-wheeled drive electrically powered provides up to 8 MPH speed and the remote control acts without any lags at the 30-feet distance. Yes, you can play with this toy car not only inside your house but outdoors, too! The remote control allows covering all directions, go forward, reverse, left, and right. You will only need to buy 4 AA batteries and one 9V battery. The tires are high-quality, you will pass corners just fine without losing the road-holding. However, note that the suspension here is rather low. To avoid damaging this toy car, please use it on flat surfaces only.
Age
The size of this electric car toy is 10" x 4.5" x 2.5", and it is 18 times smaller than the original Lamborghini Reventón. The weight is 1.4 lbs, so the Lamborghini toy car will not spin at the corners. The size and weight are the only things that are different between the two. Buy this toy car for your children and they will be elated. Never before was there a supercar this affordable. For the small parts not to be swallowed, we recommend you not to give this Lamborghini toy car to children under 3 years old.

What is a Car Toy
When children get a bit older, every parent starts to wonder what toys to buy so that they are engaging, fun, developing, and yet safe. One of the best decisions, if you ask us, is a toy car. Your kid will be able to play with toy cars in a house and outside alike. Let the children replay plots from their favorite cartoons and computer games, or just buy a toy car to be used as an accessory for a doll. Today, toy cars can be complete replicas of real cars in exterior and interior, only in miniature. Let your child discover the world through car's mechanics, it will develop a logical thinking. And playing with other kids in a park will enhance communicative skills. Plus, it is simply a lot of fun. Or you can choose a toy car that looks like some vehicle from your kid's most liked cartoon. Whatever your choice is, we are sure that your kid will be on cloud nine with joy.
If you are looking for other toys too, we can suggest you going through dollhouses and toy robots. Those will not only entertain your children but also teach them various things.
What Features to Compare
No matter how many options a toy car features, it is pointless if your child does not like it, right? So, first thing in the process of selecting the toy, ask your kids what Design of a car they would like. Maybe your children dream of Pirelli World Challenge, Formula, or Trans-Am Series! Buy them a mini supercar and they will be overjoyed. Or what about a career that brings help to people, like firefighters, doctors, police officers? They all have their cars, too. And, of course, the manufacturers of toy cars did not overlook this. Children can imitate situations they see on TV — extinguish fire, catch criminals, or rush to a medical help in an ambulance toy car. Nowadays you can find all types of cars in miniature, from your regular sedan to a large truck or a bus. And there are even some sets with different types of cars, with which your children will play out an unlimited number of situations. The famous Willy Wonka had a song about it, remember? Sing with us: "There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination...". Wonderful, isn't it? Ah, well. Let's continue. There is also a Material to consider, of course. You will have a selection of plastic, metal, wooden, and rubber toy cars. Or maybe you will encounter something extreme and rare. Plastic is the most popular material today, and the most widespread, of course. This has led to a great selection of shapes, colors, sizes of toy cars. Among the upsides here — a really affordable price and light weight. Downsides? Durability, apparently. Then there are metal toy cars, the most real-looking and durable. Collectible models are made of metal. They are often heavier and more expensive but under otherwise equal conditions they last longer.
Next, look at the Operation Type. Toy cars can be mechanical, inertia, and electric. The former are the least expensive and the simplest as they do not need complex mechanisms and operate by the force your kid applies. Inertia toy cars can be started either by the key or a pull-back action; they can go on their own for some distance. Electronic toy cars are the most complex, they have batteries and are often controlled via a remote control. This type can have two- or four-wheel drive, 2WD and 4WD respectively. These are the most functional toy cars, they can reach quite a noticeable speed. No need to mention that they often capture the attention of not only children but adults, too. Some toy cars (of any type) have openable doors/hood/trunk for additional realism, and you can often load smaller vehicles in mini trucks. Create a whole vehicle fleet for your children! Additional sound and light effects will trigger your kid's imagination. If a toy car has a remote control, you should pay attention to its operation range and the rechargeable battery availability. Professional-level toy cars can feature rubber tires for better road grip and a suspension that looks just like a real one. The 4WD toy cars are mostly like this. They will be interesting for adults as well as for kids. Enjoy the adrenaline rush together with your kid racing your neighborhood rivals!
When it comes to toys' safety for a kid, the need arises to check the Age they are intended for. Children of up to 3 years old are better to be given soft rubber noisemaker toy cars of bright colors. Or those of a one-piece design that can sing songs. They will attract your kid's attention and help enhance various skills. When the child turns 3, it is time to buy car toys designed after famous cartoons. The children will use their imagination. Some simple electric models with remote controls will also do good. Then, once the 7-year barrier is overcome, the children might get into collecting toy cars and creating a fleet. For kids over 10, the best choice will be remotely controlled mini models of real supercars. They are able to speed up and boast a lot of tiny parts, and your child will be able to play with them even outdoors. On the box or in the description, you will probably see the "Scale" field. This is the ratio between the model's size and the real car's size. Together with the size and the weight, it is an important parameter. Toddlers are better left off with lightweight toy cars with no small parts as they can swallow those. And the toy cars with remote controls are affected by the weight when it comes to the maneuverability and stability. Buying the proper toy car for your child's age will end up in a load of happiness.
