RC toys (especially cars) attract the attention of both children and adults. However, these toys are not only expensive, but also fragile. Sometimes, from a child's pressing, such a machine cracks and becomes unusable. Let's consider two points in this article:

1) at what age is it better to buy radio-controlled toys;

2) how to choose quality cars.

Children's car can be a model of a real car, the embodiment of a toy hero, or include both the functions of a real vehicle and fabulous attributes (eyes, mouth). Such toys at a wholesale price can be bought from 136 rubles. Their set includes a machine 13 cm long and a radio remote control. Batteries for these vehicles are purchased separately. The disadvantage of such machines is a very fragile body that can crack under pressure from a 2-year-old baby.

On average, toy radio-controlled cars in online stores cost from 600 rubles. These can be metal or plastic 10 cm models with a remote control. Transport from 23 cmcan be found at a price of 900 rubles. Such cars can move forward-backward, left-right, have 3-4 speeds and include front and rear lights.

But still, such machines do not involve games without a remote control. That is, 2-4-year-old children, out of habit, when they cannot control the remote control, try to put pressure on the car with all their weight, crawling on their knees on the floor. Such a transport, which is over 30 cm, can withstand children's pressure, but its price will be 5-6 figures.

At what age should children buy radio controlled toys (cars)?

A child under 3 does not understand the value of a toy. He doesn't care what kind of machine to play: an ordinary metal one or a fragile radio-controlled one. Moreover, such unusual toys occupy the baby for a maximum of 2-4 days, then he gets bored with the same actions with the remote control.

A kid at this age tends to examine the "innards" of the car, so he starts to put pressure on the body, checks how the wheels buzz, how the doors open. That is why it is better to buy simple cars where the doors and hood open.

From the age of 5-6, it is natural for a child to understand the value of expensive toys. They realize that if they break a toy, then their parents will not buy it again. So a 5-year-old boy listens intently about how a radio-controlled car works. The price of such a car can be 500 and 1500 rubles. If possible, you can immediately buy a professional model with which both the child and dad will play.

How to choose a radio-controlledcar?

• Determine the car model. Read information about the types and types of cars, what is included in the kit. For example, sometimes only the car is sold, and spare parts, charger, batteries need to be purchased separately.
• Decide on the pricing policy of the car. Once you have chosen the type of transport, look at the prices for it in online stores. Perhaps there are shopaholic clubs in your city where they order radio-controlled toys (including cars) at a wholesale price, then your purchase will be much cheaper.



• Consider the interests of the child. A five-year-old kid can say for himself what kind of car he wants to get. Of course, toy hero prototypes won't last as long as professional cars. But even here dads can choose models with various additional functions.
• Toy safety, supplier and manufacturer reputation. First of all, you need to pay attention to this parameter, especially if you decide to buy a toy for a baby who takes everything in his mouth.

RC toys (cars in particular) cause a lot of positive emotions in a child, especially if several children or children play with their parents. Therefore, it is better to buy two inexpensive cars for a son and a father to have a fun weekend together.
