 Disappointed March 16, 2010
Mom of 3
I was really looking forward to giving it to my daughter as she has been asking for a 'pink' remote control car. I love kid galaxy and thought we were safe....we must have received a dud! First the wheels were catching on the pink rubber between them so I trimmed it so they could spin smoothly. Then the radius is only about 5-6' before it stops and you have to move closer again! So, every 3 seconds she has to run towards the car....She could kick it further than the remote allows it to go! Where's the antenna??? I rechecked the box and then read thru the troubleshooting but I guess that's as well as it works. We'll keep searching and hopefully find a pink that is comparable to the boys!
 Still Doesn't Work March 8, 2010

My 2 y/o received this as a Christmas present (the bubble gum racer). Her older sister (4) fell in love with it and was so excited.... but it doesn't work. So I called the manufacturer-- (whose 800# doesn't work)-- and after a couple of days heard from customer service that they would send a new remote. The remote was on back order or something so then 4+ weeks later we received it.... And -- it still doesn't work!... So I will call again to see if they are willing to replace the entire toy. We've got others just like this and I must say that the noise I've heard from this car so far is much easier on the ears... but I'm quite disappointed that we can't get the thing to GO....
Positives: From what I can tell the sound is much better than other very similar items (from Target). The car itself is made of a squishy rubber so it won't hurt so much running into things and people. Kid Galaxy Cust Svc is very nice.
Negatives: Wish it would work?... Kid Galaxy Customer Service needs to be a bit faster in responding- and should get their 800# working too!
Keep your receipt..You may need it. March 3, 2010

I know there is a lemon in every product and then you have your products that just don't work. Well, this car worked and we loved it, played with it for less than a month and it quit. Maybe it was a lemon, maybe it was just workmanship either way I would be afraid to purchase another. We had the little pink car..very cute and it was a big hit with my 3 yr old daughter (only child) until it quit. All I can say it use caution and keep receipts to return if your quits as well.
 Fun, cute, careful if you want to buy more than one January 5, 2010

Bought 2 of these for my kids. It only turns in one direction and can't turn and drive at the same time (i.e., it has to stop, spin in one direction, and then go). Price you pay to make it simple for a 5 yo to use.
Main problem is that the cars use the same controller frequency causing a single remote control to control both cars. When you try to use both remotes at the same time - confusion abounds...
Update:
Seems that Fire Truck and Bubble Gum racer work on 49MHz. Police car, School Bus, and Monster Truck work on 29 MHz. If you buy two, make sure you go across these groups or else you will have controller problems.
Cute and works well, but the range isn't great September 24, 2009

I bought this for my 22 month old daughter (21 at the time). She was amused for about 5 min and since then has probably played with it for an hour total. Not sure if this is just ours, but I noticed that you really had to be close to the car for it to receive the signals. All of the batteries were new, anyway, if you walk along with it it works great. She did have some fun once it accidentally went over her foot and then mine. I am hoping once she's a bit older she may enjoy it more, right now the controls are still not intuitive enough for her.
I personally would prefer a bit more range on the remote than the 3-5 feet it now works in, maybe its designed for kids to go along with it.
Pros:
- Cute
- Not too noisy
- Simple to use and doesn't go too fast which is nice for this age
- Nice material, soft not breakable plastic
Cons:
- Not very happy with the range on the remote
- Daughter doesn't enjoy as much as I expected (can I say that? :))
Bought this via Amazon, item came as expected in good condition. Some reviewers complained about ben difficult to get to the battery compartment, which is true, it can be tricky unless you happen to have the right tool...luckily I had an Ikea toolbox and one of the screw drivers in the toolbox worked perfectly for this.
