Toys and Games Reviews of Millenium Activity Car
Customer Review: Not worth it
Summary: 2 Stars
There are so many toy cars for toddlers on the market that there's no reason to buy one that's less than perfect. This particular model is definitely far from perfect.
The problem with this model (and there are a few variations like it, so look out for those) is that it's just not easy to use for a toddler. Toddlers like to push and pull on things wontonly, and they expect results when they do. If something gets stuck, that's bad.
In the case of this car, there are a few problems:
1) The center seat will only lift if the steering wheel is perfectly centered. Even a slight turn to the left or right will cause the steering wheel to block the seat. Needless to say, my 18-month-old does not understand that.
2) Once you get the center seat open, it detaches too easily. The only way to re-attach is to use two hands to push in the retracting hinges and carefully position it back. Again, not something that a toddler can do.
3) The rear door is hard to open. It acts like those airplane trays with the knob that turns. And like the steering wheel, it needs to be in an exact position for the door to be unlocked. No toddler toy should ever have a locking mechanism of any kind. The door should just have a handle, and a good tug should open it.
I gave this car two stars because the overall idea is good, it's just that it needs to be redesigned.
