My daughter actually got one of these things for Christmas too and she has had a lot of fun on it. I was not sure how much fun an eight year old could have on it and I worried that she was too big for it. While she is really tall for her age (she is almost as tall as I am at 5'2) she easily can maneuver the plasmacar by herself or even what she has discovered more fun having a friend push her and get her going and then let them go off. The only thing that I really do not like about this toy is that there seems to be a lot of accidents that happen while playing on it. It seems to be rather unsafe, although all of the accidents that have happened on it have been rather minor accidents. My daughter and her friends really do love the toy and in the end that is what matters the most. It has been used a lot since it came into our house and every day my daughter comes home from school and wants to play on it.

We just purchased a red Plasma Car for my son's 2nd birthday! He really enjoys his new toy. Actually, everyone in the family enjoys it! The weight limit is 200 lbs when riding on a smooth surface. So both my husband and I are guilty of playing with it, too! We are primarily using it in the house now due to it having snowed. It rides very smoothly on hardwood floors and bare poured concrete. On rough concrete (such as sidewalks and driveways) the weight limit is 100 lbs. This is a very cool toy and has actually won several awards for being innovative. The quality is my only contention. After having played with it for several days my three rough boys have already broken it in. In fact, they managed to bend the front wheels while pushing each other up and down the sidewalk (which is not the intended use of this ride-on toy, mind you). It no longer drives forward so we will now be ordering some replacement front wheel parts from the Manufacturer. If you have gentle kids who can follow directions I highly recommend this toy for them. If you have rough and tumble kids like I do you may want to invest in something a little more sturdy.

I love educational toys and this is one of them. my 3 yr old son loves this plasma car and has had a blast with it for 1 and a half years now. this is the best little car to own for kis of all ages as my older ones can play with it too. it goes up to 150 pounds and that makes it a great toy for years to come with my kids. i definately recommend the plasma car to anyone looking for a great educational/fun toy!!!

We love this car. It really holds up. We have 6 kids and the car gets daily use. Our basement is set up as a playroom with tables and houses set up all over. I'm am amazed at how easily my 7 year old weaves in and out of the smallest spaces. It's a little difficult for my toddlers, but they just hop on with one of the older kids and they fly around the basement. Better than any other ride-on toy we've ever owned, hands down. It did leave marks on the floors, but I don't really care. It's worth it! That is the only complaint I have for this. If they were riding it in the main parts of our house, I might be concerned with it. But as it stands, I'm not! I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

We got our daughter a plasma car a couple years ago for her 3rd birthday. We had some friends who one and it seemed like so much fun. Daughter's birthday is in January and we live in a cold area, so we weren't really able to use it until summer. She liked it, but didn't spend much time on it. Fast forward 2 years.....we have a little boy who is almost 2 and he has discovered the plasma car. He LOVES it!! He's now almost 3 and I bet he's put over a hundred miles on this thing. He rides it up and down the driveway and cul-de-sac and will cruise around the neighborhood when we go on walks. We've even taken it to the local greenbelt. He doesn't always ride it in the traditional way - he prefers to ride it "Flintstone style" by moving his feet. This toy is on the spendy side, but he has made it more than worth every penny we paid for it. I must admit, that I have been known to take it for a spin every once in a while. It's a blast!!
