Product Description

Editorial Review

Barbie loves to wear the latest clothes, so of course she needs a car that's just as trendy--like this Volkswagen New Beetle in her favorite color. It has an open sunroof, functional doors, and working seatbelts (which a smart girl like Barbie always wears). The hatchback trunk can lift open or "unlock" with a large, silver plastic key with its own mini Beetle key chain. Lots of little accessories are included, such as a suitcase, a makeup case, Coca-Cola cans, and decorative floral stickers kids can use on the car or themselves. The best detail on the car is a tiny flower vase on the dashboard holding a tiny silk rosebud. --Marcie Bovetz

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for Little Kids, October 18, 2000

This is a great car for the older kids....say 4 and up. It is cute, has stickers to make the car your own creation, and comes with accessories for Barbie. I do not, however recommend it for kids 3 and under. The manufacturer says 3 months and up??? Is that a typo??? There are many little parts to be swallowed, including seat belts that snap off easily and could be ingested if a toddler wanted to. My 2 year old loves to push around the car....but we have already taken all safety hazzards and put them away. The car is a decent size and is easily accessible by Barbie, her friends, and little hands!!! The trunk with the key is intriguing to the kids, but it is also easily opened by pushing on the inside window ,if the key gets lost....ask me how I know!!!! It is a favorite toy in our house,and worth the money, but please keep in mind the safety issues if you are buying it for small children.

This review is not on the toy itself, my daughter wouldn't know because every time Amazon/Toys R us sends out an email that it is in stock, it is never there! I received an email at 12:23 am this morning and just happened to be online at 12:31 am and immediately went to the site and it was NOT IN STOCK. Is this a promotional gimmick to get you to return to their web site??? I have received this same email 8 times in the last 2 months never to return to find any instock. I say if they can not deliver don't use the service and then they will turn out like many other .com companies--BANKRUPT. After the third email, I asked Amazon what the deal was, and I was told, "quantities are limited" .....what.... ONE is what they have in stock???? Don't be fooled by this bogus service it does nothing but waste your time!
