Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Shake 'N Go Racers Superman Racer is a licensed car based on the character Superman. The basic play pattern consists of shaking the car, which activates a motion switch. This motion switch relays the amount of shaking to the internal IC, which in turn plays sound effects that sound like an engine "revving up". As the child shakes the car more, the engine "revs" higher and higher until it is fully charged up. When the child places the car on the ground, there is switch in the front axle that when triggered, engages the motor and the car takes off with the IC playing the appropriate sound effects. There is a direct correlation between the amount of shaking and the speed of the motor and the length it runs.

If you are not familiar with Fisher Price's line of shake n go cars, these are great toys for preschool aged kids. my 3 yo first got some of these maybe last year and has expanded his collection to include 2 Shake N Go race tracks and numerous cars.
Basically, you shake the vehicle, put it on the ground and it races off across the floor. The superman car also has sounds and says things like "Faster! More Powerful!" as it races off.
The car is durable, has endured multiple crashes with no visible signs of wear and tear, and the batteries last pretty long considering the amount of use we've given it.

The Superman car is also compatable with the shake n go race tracks that we have.

Fun toy. Your child just shakes it a bit and it scoots across the floor. It does, however, make very loud car noises. If you are looking for a quiet toy, skip this car. If the sound is not an issue or it will be used only outside, I would recommend this toy. It also comes in a Batman version.

The children really love the way it goes when you shake it up for them, really has a lot of zip. But the little ones are just not able to shake it much. A good car for the car likers.
