Hot Wheels advice

3 replies

babartheelephant · 09/06/2011 13:56

I want to buy my ds some Hot Wheels track that does clever tricks but is simple enough for a 5 year old to put together and play with.
We have the 4 lane race track that he loves. But we would like something that can do more.
I have looked at reviews on amazon of the trick-track stuff. I might just go for the starter pack.
If anyone has any wisdom on this, I would greatly appreciate it! His birthday is next week (he'll be 5) but he also has a 7 year old brother who would help him.
Thanks for your thoughts!

This might not be the advice you are looking for, but honestly, I wouldn't bother.

Of all the Hot Wheels sets Ds has (I don't know the names but they involve either jumping and loop the loop) we have never managed to get the stunt type things to actually work. Dh has spent hours on the damn things whilst ds has just been disappointed. They are currently gathering dust under the spare bed.

Been searching and can't find the review but I am sure that it was tested on her about a year ago and was not rated highly.
