Kid Galaxy My First RC School Bus. Toddler Remote Control Toy, Yellow, 27 MHz

Great first RC car for my 2 year old son. Very simple and easy to use. He's used to being frustrated because he can't get his 6 year old brother's RC cars to work. We didn't even have to show him how to work the remote, he just picked it up and started running the bus. It's smaller than I thought it would be but that's really not a problem. It's a soft, flexible plastic that won't hurt furniture when it runs into it, yet it's strong enough to withstand my son standing on it. I definitely recommend this product.

Absolutely great for a child's first remote control car. The two-button remote control is easy for toddlers to operate and hold. Batteries are easy to replace and last a really long time in both the car and the remote control. This School Bus is made of Soft Rubber to help it absorb abuse by youngsters. Seems like a good design feature as he loves to stand on it sometimes but it remains as it is. The kids love them as they are easy to use and durable. I am giving it FOUR STARS because we bought two of these i.e Go Go school bus and fire truck. (You can Read my Review of Fire Truck which I wrote earlier). The PROBLEM with these toys is that they are all set to the same frequency-27 mhz. The controller for the bus also controls the fire truck when both are on. My reason for buying them was that two kids could use them together, but practically its not possible. So if you are planning to buy for more than one kids to use at the same time, my advise would be to look for something else. Otherwise, it is still a great product that a small 2 year old can control all on his own.

Nice toy. Bright colors. Soft construction so no sharp edges or dinged furniture. Simple control is easy for a toddler to use, and the vehicle's movement is quite satisfying. Batteries last a good while. This toy doesn't hoot, honk, scream or sing. It's just fun to play with. Durable, too. We've purchased before for other toddlers and years later the toy was still in use.

My two year old son received this for Christmas and loves it. The buttons are actually white, not red. No big deal. There are two buttons so even though he is too excited to let me show him which button does what he loves playing with it. The remote control works well even when it's on the other side of a large family room and the bus rolls easily over carpet. The bus is also soft and my son carries it around as it's own toy as well. Highly recommended!

Let me start by saying the 'squeezable and soft' toy body is very nice. My 2yr 2mo granddaughter took to it immediately. Otherwise - the toy is garbage. The radio control would only work when 3 to 4 " away from the toy. I disassembled it and added a wire to the internal antenna. This increased the distance where the remote would work to 14 or 16 ". Controls were simple enough that she could operate it, and she obviously liked the toy a lot. Later in the day the toy failed completely. Too bad, a very disappointed little girl.

The two button remote is easy to figure out for young children and the soft sides make for less baseboard damage. My main complaint is that is has an electrical short that makes it randomly start driving on its own. My son was so afraid of it after the first time it started driving on his toy shelf in the middle of the night that he wouldn't play with it for a month. The simple solution is to turn it off before you put it away.

My two year old son loves school busses, and his older cousin has remote control cars, so this seemed like a great toy for him. Unfortunately, when it arrived, it didn't work. It went forward just fine, but wouldn't turn. The wheels would spin correctly if I lifted it off the ground, but it didn't have enough torque, I think some gears were stripping. We returned it to Amazon and ordered a new one, and so far, the new one is functional. There are a couple of other minor quirks - you have to unscrew it and pull it apart to pull the battery out, but the screw is small, and the hole is very deep and narrow. You need a small screwdriver to get it open. Also, if we leave the toy on, it occasionally makes a noise for a split second as if you tapped one of the remote buttons - possibly receiving a signal from something else? In any case, my son does like the toy. It's VERY simple, which is appropriate for his age range. There are only two buttons - forward, and spin in place. He uses it a fair amount considering the short attention span of a two year old. Every once in awhile I see it buzzing around the house, three weeks after he got it. For what I spent on it (<$15) it was a good purchase.

We bought this for our 22 month old and he loves it. There are only two different buttons on the controller so it was very easy for him to figure out. We did have a problem with the controller not communicating with the bus for some reason. It would just stop working all of a sudden and then just as suddenly start working again. When I called the company, though, they immediately sent us a new one. Now, our old one started working again so I'm not sure why that happened but our little guy loves the new one (and the old one when it's working)! :)
