Features Designed specifically for preschoolers Moves forward, turns in reverse, and talks with simple touch to the remote control that is tethered to the headset Child can also hear other Bob characters by pushing the buttons on the handheld Recommended Age Range 3 to 5 Years Editorial Reviews Scrambler is one of many sentient and conversational pieces of construction machinery in the charming world of Bob the Builder. In this remote control toy, he can be made to roll forward, back or to the left or right via infrared technology. Buttons on the remote let your child hear messages from Scoop, Muck, and Bob himself. Scrambler, for his part, does some talking too, shouting out "Cool as a mule!" and "Ready when you are, Bob!", all of which is audible via a special headset. This is a great introduction toy for kids developing an interest in remote control vehicles and an outstanding choice for any young Bob the Builder fan. --Charlie Williams Product Description Remote-controlled vehicle designed especially for preschoolers. Scrambler moves and talks! Forward and reverse turning. Headset has safety break-away cord and speakers. Push the buttons to hear other vehicles. Measures 14" long. When Bob the Builder wins the competition to design and build Sunflower Valley, he also wins Scrambler. He is an all-terrain, four-wheel drive vehicle with a trailer that he can attach if he needs to take materials anywhere. He is streetwise, enthusiastic and loves to go off-roading. Life is one "wicked adventure" and Scrambler is always ready to "scram to the valley, scram to the valley." Scrambler is a bouncy character, and can quite literally bounce way into the air. Requires 3 "AAA" batteries, included and 3 "AA" batteries, not included. Measures 9" x 7". Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism Durability: Fun: Educational: The cord length from the headset to the control is very long and can easily wrap around a child's neck. I am sure with today's technology, they could have done a wireless headset and handset. The toy itself it a great rendition of Bob's new friend on the show. It only goes back and forth with the remote, and randomly turns the tires for left and right movement, even though it would seem from the 4-way directional pad on the control that you would be able to turn it any 4 ways. Because I have an under 3 child in the house as well, I had to remove the headset/handset because of the cord hazard. I do not even feel comfortable with it around my older son, for fear of it getting around his own neck. Therefore, they play with it just as a toy on it's own, but the handlebars and wheel movement do not conincide, so it is a bit awkward. Also, the little mock headset that Scrambler is suppose to wear does not stay in place whatsoever. Overall, they should have had more safety in mind and tweaked a few things with it's movement, and this could have been an awesome toy.
