Recently I was given the opportunity to do a review on a PLASMACAR!! I absolutely love this toy! When it was on it’s way to our house my 12 year old Alicia about drove me crazy!! All I heard from her was “Mom, Is it here yet?” So you know when it came she was ripping open that box. The funny thing about it is she put it together! Of course when she was done we had to double check but she did a great job and we just had to tighten it up a little bit.
A little about the Plasmacar
The Plasmacar is ALL kid powered!! There are no batteries, pedals, gears or electrical parts. Your kid does it all!! Now this day and age that is really important to me. It seems like everything is played on a computer or TV. This actually gets the kids (and me) out of the house and on the move. It is a great way to throw fitness into play time without the kids realizing it. The Plasmacar moves by the rider turning the wheel back and forth to get it to propel forward. This is quite the workout on your arms. I know this because I was the second person to ride it and realized at that point that I need to work out! LOL! 🙂 It is built with highly durable plastics and hold a whopping 220 lbs. It is actually a quiet toy compared to others that are battery powered, it can be ridden anywhere that has a smooth flat surface. It is NOT to be ridden on wooden or laminate floors, as the wheels may damage the floors. I have to say that we ride ours in the kitchen on ceramic tile and the kids have a ball!! The plasmacar also comes with a 6 month warranty against manufacturer defect. What I like best is it can reach speeds of up to 6mph! Now that’s fast considering your arms are making it go!!

What do I think of the PlasmaCar
I absolutely loved it! I’m not talking about for my kids, I mean I love driving the car!! I am the fastest in our family and you know they all here about it! 🙂 I love the fact that my kids will get exercise when playing. The structure of the car is very sturdy and I can see us getting use out of this for years to come. From age 3 to 103, we can all play on it. I am planning a trip to my Mom’s house this Memorial day and they are cleaning off there basketball court in the back yard and we are planning on a day of fun!! My only regret is I don’t have 2 so that we can race. Looks like I may have to purchase another one! 🙂
What does my daughter Alicia think of the Plasma Car
Here is what she said. “I really like it!” “I think it can be a great toy for a kid who is trying to grow up but still wants to play.” ” I like the fact that it is helping me learn how to drive, so when I get that old I can know how to steer and stuff.”
Those were her words exactly and what better way to review a toy or to see if you want to get one for your own child then by listening to what another child has to say about it. Of all the things that I have done reviews for I have to say that this is the best one. It’s fun and can be taken with you for any outdoor activities. We love going up to the park uptown and riding it in the pavilion. It gives our family something to do together and gets my child out from in front of the computer. It’s fun and different! I definitely give this toy 2 thumbs up!
