Toys and Games Reviews of Mattel Hot Wheels Flip N Go Spin City PlaysetCustomer Review: Great fun for kids Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased this for my son who is nearly 3.5 years old. He enjoys it very much but needs a bit of parental help to use it properly without damaging it. Its just a learning curve that I am sure he will master shortly. No real educational value here aside from developing some fine motor skills.
The toy is nice because it packs up into a self contained unit when not in use. Overall it feels a little fragile and I am concerned about the longevity but so far no problems.
The toy uses three AAA batteries which are not included. No cars are included either. slightly larger cars seems to work better than the smaller faster cars. The faster cars overshoot the tracks and end up side down rather than following along the track as intended. There are a list of recommended cars in the instruction sheet but I wasn't about to go out looking for a specific set of cars just to use this track. My son has enough cars that it was easy to sort through a few to find ones that work.
The release latch on the parking garage is difficult to release for little fingers. Takes a significant amount of force to release it. My son hasn't mastered this yet and is a small obstacle to him fully enjoying the set.
Overall this was a great purchase that has delighted my son...We shall see for how long.
Pros
Fast easy set up
self contained when stored
Fun voices and sayings at the various stops
lots of fun
Cons
Seems fragile when closed and opened
Doesn't work well with many cars
Plastic doesn't seem to be marked for recycling
