 My Thoughts

My children received a few of the cool new cars from Toy State to try out, and they are having tons of fun with them. My daughter, Willow, is definitely a tom boy who loves to play with trucks and the CAT trucks are the perfect choice for preschoolers. They are very sturdy and well made, with no small pieces that will detach.The Rev It Up Dump Truck is a cute push truck that is great for indoor and outdoor play. Kids can load it up with toys and push it across the floor to dump them out. I plan on taking this one to the beach as well. Its the perfect truck for hauling sand and the large wheels will work have no problem getting through the rough terrain.

We also got to try out the E-Z Machine Radio Control. Since its especially designed for younger childrem the controls are easy to maneuver. My three year old had no issues getting the truck to go backwards and forwards and she was super excited that she was able to work the controller without assistance. It works best on hardwood floors and tile. On the rugs, it did still move but it was a lot slower and occasionally got snagged, but on the harder surface it drove without any complications. It also worked great outside on the cement, but I would avoid using it in grass or dirt.  All in all, a fun remote control truck for preschoolers.

Toy State has plenty of other fun toys for the kids including remote control cars, Cat Preschool Trucks and so much more.  Also make sure to check out the My Motor Island website for lots of interactive games that are fun and free to play. If you would like to purchase Road Rippers, they are available in stores nationwide including Kmart and Target.
