This review is from: Wii Inflatable Racing Kart (Accessory)

I have a 3-year-old son and two 7-year-old daughters. My 3-year-old son absolutely loves cars and racing. I saw this accessory and thought that my son would love it, and I was right. All three of my kids have a blast playing with it, and I think the accessory makes racing games much easier for my 3-year-old. Unfortunately, I had the same problems that several other reviewers have noted: the steering wheel is held on by very flimsy plastic tabs that broke on the first day of use, and the seams where the back rest attaches to the body of the car ripped on both sides also on the first day of use. I should note that no adult ever used the accessory, just my 3-year-old son and two small, 7-year-old girls.

We glued the steering wheel back on after it broke and it works fine. Also, the car is designed with multiple inflatable areas (tires are inflated separately, as are the steering column, the back rest, and the main body of the car), so even though the body of the car is deflated and basically irreparable because of where the tears are, the accessory still works to some extent and still resembles a race car. It is not as comfortable as it was before the tears, but my children just play with it sitting directly on the carpet or with a pillow underneath and still seem to love the accessory.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT BUY!!!, June 29, 2011

Disappointed Mama - See all my reviews

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Wii Inflatable Racing Kart (Accessory)

Our son received this for his birthday and, like so many other reviewers noted, the design is not good and it broke in the first few hours of play. We e-mailed with CTA Digital, who instructed us to send it back and they would "replace it." We did so. IT HAS BEEN NINE MONTHS AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM, OR RECEIVED A NEW CAR OR REFUND. I have tried to call and e-mail but all we get is the canned "We'll get back to you in 72 hours" response. Nothing else. We have no car and no refund. They win the "Worst product, plus worst customer service ever" award!!

This review is from: Wii Inflatable Racing Kart (Accessory)

This was horrible. Not only is it a pain to blow up because there are around 10 seperate air compartments but you put it all together and the steering wheels do not stay on. It is held on by flimsy plastic tabs that break when you try to put it back on. POOR DESIGN. And without the wheel what is the point! It is a waste of money....very disappointed....did not even last 5 minutes without the wheel totally breaking off. HORRIBLE!!!!! Do not recommend!!!!
