First things first, the Power Wheels Dune Racer is excellent fun for kids aged between 36 months and 7 years of age.

As for set up, the Dune Racer is easy to put together. It takes around 45 minutes to assemble, and comes with a number of stickers to decorate it and help achieve the realistic feel of the vehicle. Once it’s set up, you’ll see that it’s quite roomy and more than enough space for two kids to ride comfortably.

One thing parents are always concerned about with this type of toy is safety. Thankfully, Fisher-Price have an excellent track record when it comes to the safety of their products. Because the Power Wheels Dune Racer rides low to the ground, and has a safety bar on each side, it’s unlikely that your child will fall out and hurt themselves. The vehicle is also very wide, preventing it from toppling over.
Kids generally find the Dune Racer extremely easy to use. As with anything, it takes a little practice before they become skilled drivers, but once they are they will be able to take this over all kinds of terrain. The smallest children in the spectrum of recommended ages may find it a little difficult to reach the pedals, but they will soon grow into it.
The Power Wheels Dune Racer is a fun, safe and affordable toy within the motorized vehicle category. Yes, it costs more than some non-motorized equivalents, but the fun factor more than makes up for it. This is a toy that has the potential for hours of play at a time, getting your child out into the fresh air. A definite contender for your child’s main gift at Christmas this year.
