3.0 out of 5 stars Noisy, always spinning toy, January 15, 2007

My previous experience with Kid Galaxy RC toys for children led me to believe that this toy would sit still (and be quiet) when the child is not doing anything with the controller and then move when the child interacts with the controller. Wrong. If the bumble bee is turned on it spins in a circle (noisily) and if the child pushes the button then the bumble bee goes straight. While my children (ages 2 and 5) enjoy this toy, their parents can't take much more than about 5 minutes of the noise at a time. The toy is well made and the spinning tail is cute; just know what it does prior to purchase.

This toy is cute. The fact that it moves around until you turn it off is a little annoying (because my daughter tends to just walk away from it). But, that's also what makes it good for a small child...the fact that it moves around in circles even if they aren't trying to control it. Overall I think it's a good toy.

My three year old daughter loves this toy! It is so simple that she has no problems with the remote control. We have really old and really thick carpet, and this little bee zooms around on it with no problems. It does make a whirring type noise when it is on, and the little bee bottom spins, so I can see how it could become annoying to some people, but we just tune it out like all the other noisy toys in this house! The poor little bee has also survived the abuse of my 11 month old son, and has come through with no major injuries. An added bonus is how much the cats enjoy chasing it around the house! I think it does have educational value because it has taught my daughter that if she wants it to go somewhere, she has to wait for it to turn that way and then quick press the button. She has to think ahead. This is a super cute toy, but I bet a school age kid might tire of it pretty quickly with the simplistic remote control. (my way older than school age husband, however, has not tired of it yet)
