Smoby V8 Driver, A driving simulator for children, Electronic steering wheel, Sounds and lights

Product Information

This is a little bit of a wildcard and our next alternative is another simulator style toy, but let’s look at why this option is a good choice. For a price that is usually lower than the Smoby car simulator, you can buy a very cool looking red ride-on that is suitable for toddlers. Not only can toddlers turn a steering wheel but they can also move the car around the house, in the garden or wherever you want them to drive you to. A platform dedicated to enriching children’s lives through play and gymnastics. With a focus on original research, we delve into the nuances of children’s play activities and equipment to foster a safe and stimulating environment for young learners. REALISTIC DRIVING EXPERIENCE- There are 2 free rotary rearview mirrors for kids to pretend to observe the road conditions and 1 steering wheel for them to change the car direction. Toddlers can also rotate start knob for realistic engine sound or step on the bottom brake/ accelerator for car speed adjustment. There aren’t many other toys around that offer this experience, a seat, wheel, pedals and game all in one unit. Most toys offer a computer game experience, ride on experience or just a steering wheel with buttons and sounds. Even though this toy isn’t perfect it still offers a fun experience and a nice step up from steering wheels and toy cars towards being able to drive cars on computer games or remote control cars. At this stage in a toddlers physical development you can introduce the V8 driver and let them experience what it is like to sit in their very own car. You could even introduce it earlier and let them enjoy pressing the buttons and turning the wheel even if they don’t yet fully understand how to move the car they will have fun developing coordination skills.

For toddlers who are a little bit older this VR headset offers a much more immersive and realistic racing experience. Usually with a VR headset you have to turn by moving your head side to side but this set includes both goggles and a steering wheel which you must use to turn the car in the game. Overall the Smoby V8 driver is perfect for toddlers who can’t yet fully operate a driving game but want a fun experience that doesn’t require very much accuracy and instead is about the experience of sitting in your own red car, touching the buttons and feeling like a real racing driver. As toddlers grow up they usually move up from pushing toy cars around the living room, to holding a steering wheel and pressing buttons, long before they have the coordination skills to turn the wheel and manoeuvre a vehicle. Once toddlers begin to improve their coordination skills they can start to understand how turning a steering wheel on a ride-on style toy will affect movement.

SAFE & PORTABLE DESIGN- All materials are child-friendly and safe to use. Also, burr-free edges protect kid’s safety, while surrounding stool ensures their seating comfort. The play station is detachable and portable for different requirement., supported by steady footrest or taken in hand. But! He’s played with it nonstop since opening it. And that’s just with the in-built game. We haven’t even tried out the phone carrier with an app yet. The seat can be adjusted a little bit so you can make sure your youngsters are able to reach the wheel. You’ll have to assemble the products but good clear instructions are included and it shouldn’t take more than 10 or 15 minutes to assemble because the car and frame is quite small. This product is sturdy and looks exciting for a child. It is definitely not a high quality toy with strong and long lasting pieces but the seat is comfortable and the steering wheel has lots of nice detailing which add to the overall Smoby V8 Driver experience. If your child loves to drive and you want to introduce them to driving with a fun children’s toy then they will enjoy sitting in the seat, pressing the buttons and turning a real steering wheel.

Overall I think the Smoby V8 driver is a great toy and would make a great Christmas toy. If you are expecting a realistic and fully immersive driving experience like you might find on a computer game then this isn’t for you, but if you know what to expect and buy this toy for a toddler at the right stage in their development, this is an excellent choice. PLAY AS A SIMULATED DRIVER- Toddlers can control the car in the screen by rotating the steering wheel. The bottom pedal has infrared ray which remotely controls throttle and brake, offering toddlers hours of fun. Plus, the megaphone design allows toddlers to pretend to be a real driver and press to talk.PERFECT GIFT FOR KIDS- Our interactive driving wheel toy is a perfect gift for kids (over 36 months). With scene simulation, this steering wheel toy is great for toddler’s common knowledge learning, alert recognition and direction cognition. Apart from that, this car driving simulator also promotes kid’s music enlightenment and hand-feet coordination. There are two roads that join and then separate, the car on the screen turns directly left or right while still facing forwards so it doesn’t matter whether you drive near the road or over the trees and landscaping beside it. This driving simulator is a lot of fun and if you buy it for a toddler at the right stage in their development it can help improve their coordination and imagination skills before they step up to more challenging and realistic driving simulators and games.
