Customer Reviews

DO NOT BUY CLIMB A TRON
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT. Climb a Tron - suction DOES NOT WORK on Glass or ANY upright smooth surface. Only surface we could get to work on was a flat wooden table top and it kept falling over, also if it went any distance and came in contact with an obstacle it would not reverse as advertised. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Thought the item looked interesting and could be a learning tool for grandchild. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT.

less cool than it looked
This looked like a supercool toy. Unfortunately, we found it extremely difficult to find a balance with the suction pads where they were sticky enough to hold to the wall or ceiling but not so sticky that the pads could keep "walking." We spent about 20 minutes getting it to do anything, and 15 being mildly frustrated.

Why is this allowed to be sold?
I bought this from a Science museum in Melbourne. My son was so excited to get home and try it out. What a disappointment! It does walk up windows at all. Definitely not worth buying.
