We got this alarm clock radio for my 6yr old son for Christmas, his first alarm clock. He loves it. You can set it to wake up by radio, or the Hot Wheel sound which is wheels peeling out and an anouncer telling the racers to "START YOUR ENGINES", then the wheels peel out again and says something about racing for the checkerd flag. The volume dial and the radio tuner dial are wheels and the radio has a pretty good sound for an alarm clock. Great buy

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but with some issues, January 5, 2011

It looks cool and my 6 year old son loves the "car" design. Here's the good and bad of it:

THE GOOD:
Cool design, built-in night light, easy to read clock, big snooze button, lots of features for an inexpensive kid's clock-radio.

THE BAD:
1. The alarm volume is controlled by the same dial as the radio volume so if your little one likes to fall asleep to quiet music via the sleep function, then the alarm is practically useless the next morning unless your kid is a very light sleeper.
2. It's very light weight and the buttons on the front require pretty firm effort to depress. It requires two hands to push the buttons, one to hold the clock in place, the other to push the button. Otherwise, you'll push the clock right off the nightstand.
3. The FM radio antenna isn't worth much. We live in an area with numerous high wattage radio stations and this won't pick up but one or two stations regardless of where in the house it's located.

Edit: I paid $14 for this in November 2010.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 5 year old LOVES it!, January 12, 2009

My 5 year old step son absolutely LOVES his alarm clock. It's so easy for him to use and it actually works!!! He wakes up with it every morning and gets himself ready for school. He knows how to turn it on at night and off in the morning. Plus it's "cool" too because it's a car. The alarms are loud, but he needs that to wake up in the morning. He loves that he's a big boy now! I DEFINITELY recommend this alarm. And the red glow acts as a nightlight too!
