What Parent's Say
"The twins absolutely LOVE it - thank you! They think it's the "best present in the whole world" and if they could have their way the cars would be in bed with them right now! Iliro explained to me in length that "if you take the wheels off, the car becomes a boat" and desperately wanted to take it into the bath with him...and Inica had trouble getting to bed as she kept on wanting to "kiss my car goodnight" Thanks again, it's such a wonderful product!" Wilani, Melbourne
“My boys, 2 and 7, love driving around on their Gyro Car in the house. Everyone was intrigued. For something the kids won't tire of, and that will keep them occupied for hours, I would recommend the Gyro Car.”
“This was the best purchase of this Christmas season. The car is amazing! It easily supports this 70kg body and is so much fun. We have ours down in the basement as it performs best on the smooth cement floor. The kids and their friends are still enjoying it even 3 weeks after Christmas unlike the robosapien and roboraptor which are languishing
in a dark corner somewhere. This product is tons of fun for children and adults with a little time on their hands!”
“I've bought this twice now, once for my nephew, once for a friend and both times it has been a huge hit. I sat on one for the first time yesterday and it was so much fun. I was surprised how fast and agile the car can go if you want it to.”
“I originally purchased two Gyro Cars for my 6 and 8-year old boys, and a ride-on toy 4-wheeler for my 18-month old. The older boys love them and the 18-month old wouldn't touch his ride-on toy after getting on the Gyro Car. He pushes it with his feet instead of using the steering wheel to move it, but it's so smooth that he can go quickly but safely. Since the first purchase, I bought TWO more because my 4-year old girl loves it as well. So far they seem very rugged to have withstood my 10 and 11-year old boys' rough play with them. (Yes, that's six kids who have all played on it). Lots of smooth surface, indoors or out, is a must for this toy.”
“My two grandsons loved their Gyro Cars! They were the envy of the older ones; and yes, they got on them, too! A definite hit - and an excellent way to get them physically active. They seem very sturdy.”
“Both of our boys, ages 2 and 4, received this as a Christmas gift. These things are AWESOME! I am so impressed with how easy and FUN they are to drive and manoeuvre! The suggested age is 36 months and up, but my 2 year old is able to do it with ease. I can even get on with one of my boys and ride it together (although, yes, I also have fun riding it by myself as well!). Highly recommend this toy...I will be buying them in the future as gifts for other kids in our family!”
“This car is great. My boys ages 4 and 6 ride this around our house all day until it is warm enough to go outside. Great fun!”
“Just purchased this for my 9 year old - yes 9 year old. Her younger sibling and all the neighbours enjoy theirs - and she was missing out. There are even preteens zooming around on these in my neighbourhood. And, believe me, to get these things going fast muscle power is required, which is great exercise for the kids.”
“Wow! I saw a friend’s boy riding on a strange looking car and thought he was having lots of fun so I asked what it was (Gyro Car) and next day I purchased three Gyro Cars for my kids Christmas. They are so great. I made one up to test and I enjoyed it so much. They do not require batteries just energy. It keeps your children fit (and yourself if you sneak a go on them). Just swing the wheel from side to side and it goes. A perfect toy!”
“I bought the Gyro Car for my 2 and a half year old but the whole family has had a go on it- brilliant on laminate floors and also outdoors on flat surfaces. My three and half year old finds it easy to handle and has now mastered the reverse motion! A great buy for any fun loving family- am going to get one for my little girls nursery!”
“Well, what more can I say than we have all had a go. It’s easy to put together and fun and exciting to ride on whether you're 3 or over 40. I bought it for my 7 year old and now my 3 year old would like one for his birthday too. Once you have mastered going forwards, turning round or indeed going backwards is easy. My boys have also managed to ride it together which was great fun for them. I highly recommend this car. You'll enjoy it as much as them, especially after they have gone to bed!”
“It took 5 minutes to build. You basically attach the wheels and steering wheel and that's it ready to go! I bought this for my 6 year old sister, for Christmas, but I had to have a go to see if it was any good. It does what it says, it IS fun and there's not much more to say about it really…Hopefully my sister will like it because if she doesn't I'll keep it and use it myself!”
"We saw the Gyro Car being demonstrated in a shopping centre, and I've never seen so many kids waiting patiently in a queue for their turn. When our 6 year old girl finally got her turn, her face lit up and she didn't stop smiling until she got off it. We bought it there and then, and two years on she still ranks it as her favourite toy. It's the only toy I would recommend every parent should buy for their kids."
"Gyro Car. Funny name, AMAZING toy! Our three children used to argue over who would get to use our solo Gyro Car. We saw sense and purchased two more. Best thing we ever did!"
