How many Dads out there can’t wait to buy their kids remote control cars? For all of you who have thought a 1 year old was too young, then you haven’t seen the Fisher-Price Lil Zoomers Shake and Crawl Racer. This sporty little race car moves forward or in circles, either by rolling the ball on the top of the car with a hand or shaking the checkered flag rattle back and forth. Babies that are about 6 months of age enjoy cause and effect play. This means, when they touch, tap or shake a toy, different features like sounds, lights and movement are activated, encouraging them to want to activate the toy over and over again. What a great way to encourage both large motor and small motor skills, because when the car moves out of a babies reach after they activate it, they are motivated to either crawl, walk or run after it. I did think the motor of this toy was very loud for a baby toy. When the car moves, if it maneuvers into furniture or the wall the tires keep spinning loudly for a few seconds, which could be a little overwhelming for some babies. I wish this toy had some type of technology that would either allow it to shut off or move in a different direction once it comes in contact with another hard surface. This toy is geared for babies ages 6 months and up, and retails at $25.00. At 6 months of age, I would recommend supervising and assisting your baby to help them get the concept of this toy, but I will tell you I have seen plenty of 1 and 2 year olds really have a blast watching this car zoom around the living room, too!
Fisher-Price provided the Lil Zoomers Shake and Crawl Racer free to facilitate a review. The opinions are my own.

That's amazing! I can't wait to get one for my little girl. At her first Birthday Party, her Dad bought her toy cars, the big soft ones. She makes the zoom zoom sound too, so I can only imagine what this toy would do.
