This is a tiny cute car, it's easy to assemble and it's fun to run.
It needs direct sun to run. It's better to buy at least 2 to make a contest.
Their size is about that of a HotWheel(R) car.

I bought this toy for my seven year old and we built it together. At first, it didn't work and I thought it was defective. However, after some tweaking by my husband, it now works perfectly. You have to line things up perfectly or nothing happens.

I found this to be a successful toy. It was not too hard to put together (though I, an adult, did it myself; younger kids will need supervision). It does indeed work fine in direct, strong sunlight and my son and the rest of my kids got a real charge out of it.

It's not terribly sturdy, and I found that the front wheels are prone to fall off. It will need to be stored when not in use to avoid losing pieces.

This was fun to put together and the solar aspect definitely sends the right message but the front wheels could never be secured and therefore, it did not work.

I had to help my son put this together, though the instructions are pretty easy. It's a tiny car, and I'm not sure it works. He expressed little interest in it overall.
