Radio-controlled 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 depression, such a machine pops and becomes unusable. Consider two points in this article:
1) at what age it is better to acquire radio-controlled toys;
2) how to choose high-quality cars.
A children's car can be a model of a real car, an embodiment of a toy hero, or include the functions of a real transport and fantastic attributes (eyes, mouth). Such toys at a wholesale price can be bought from 136 rubles. Their kit includes a machine 13 cm long and a radio remote control. Batteries for such cars are bought separately. The disadvantage of such machines is their very fragile body, which can crack under the pressure of a 2-year-old baby.
On average, radio-controlled
toy cars in online stores cost from 600 rubles. It can be metal or plastic 10-cm models with a remote control. Vehicles with a size of 23 cm can be found at a price of 900 rubles. Such cars can move back and forth, left and 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 the weight, crawling on their knees on the floor. Such a passport, the size of which is more than 30 cm, can withstand children's pressure, but its price will be 5-6-digit.
At what age do children buy radio-controlled toys (cars)?
A child under 3 years old does not understand the value of the toy. He does not care what kind of machine to play: ordinary metal or fragile radio-controlled. Moreover, such unusual toys occupy the baby for a maximum of 2-4 days, then he is bored with the monotonous actions with the remote control.
It is common for a kid at this age to inspect the “insides” of the car, so he begins 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 open, the hood.
From 5-6 years old, it is common for a child to understand the value of expensive toys. They realize that if they break the toy, then the parents will no longer buy one. Therefore, a 5-year-old boy listens attentively to how the car works in radio control. The price of such a car can be both 500 and 1,500 rubles. If possible, you can immediately buy a professional model with which both the child and dad will play.
How to choose a radio-controlled car ?
- Decide on the model of the car. Read information about the types and types of cars, about what is included in the kit. For example, sometimes only a car is sold, and spare parts, a charger, batteries need to be bought 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 in your city there are shopaholic clubs where they order toys on the radio control (including cars) at a wholesale price, then your purchase will be much cheaper.
- Consider the interests of the child. A five-year-old baby can say for himself what kind of machine he wants to get. Of course, prototypes of toy heroes will not be as durable as professional cars. But here, dads can choose models with various additional functions.
- Toy safety, reputation of supplier and manufacturer. This parameter needs to be paid attention first of all, especially if you decide to buy a toy for the baby who takes everything in his mouth.
Radio-controlled 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 son and father to have fun together.
