Everyone can have a try!
Ok - so I bought this for our toddler's birthday thinking he would benefit from a foot-tangle-free mode of transporation. he likes it well enough - BUT - lets just say that EVERY ADULT (and just about every older kid) who comes to visit cant help themselves and must TRY it out for themselves! This is a fun and fascinating toy! Everyone has so much fun on it that they can't help ourselves from hopping on and enjoying the uniqueness of it. Strange yet approachable - fun, durable and easy to operate for anyone up to like 220 pounds! I bought a second one so we can have PlasmaCar races! As for the toddler in our family - it sometimes frustrates him because he is used to other ride on toys which require use of one's feet to move around. He basically uses his feet on it - and does pretty well - and occasionally discovers the movement generated by the steering wheel action. All in all he can use it with his feet without tipping over - he just stalls every once in a while - however - everytime we take it out - he is right on it and taking it for a spin. I must say that to truly enjoy it is needs a good piece of space - and not meaning a living room with the coffee table set aside - you need a driveway or other open area. It is best on a smoother surface (black top, concrete, indoor flooring) to get the most out of it. All in all - a great toy - fun to learn to master and a delight to use after that! Kids like it too - though in our home it is more of a social toy rather than a mode of transportation. (ie it is not a tricycle but more like a pogo stick) FUN TO HAVE! So if you are looking for a special toy - this is it!

1 year old loves it
My 3 and 4 1/2 year old grandsons have had their plasma cars 'wiggles'(as they call them) since Christmas 2005 and love them. You can use them as they were made, just move the handles right & left, etc., or use your legs to push yourself along. Their baby sister was patiently waiting until one of them would get off and then climb on. Although she didn't quite have the concept of how to operate it, pushing it along and just sitting on it made her happy. Their mother even gets on and rides - she is 5'8". Everyone LOVES it!

The perfect gift for any child!!!!
I bought this Plasma Car for my son's 4th birthday. Now 8 months later it is still a favorite. My daughter who is 2 loves it too. It works great indoors and outdoors. Even I get on it and have a blast! I highly recommend this toy for great indoor or outdoor fun!
