Review and Giveaway: Chicco Talking Vacation Car CLOSED

Have you been looking for a fun new way to entertain you little one?

Well, check out this Talking Vacation Car by Chicco.

This car is not only adorable, but it is also fun and educational. Here are a few features that this car has to offer:

Chicco’s Talking Vacation Car can accompany children on vacation and talk to them in English or Spanish. Children will discover new words, complete stories and even solve the car’s riddles. Children can also follow stories using the included picture book, which is shaped
like a suitcase.

The Car offers three levels of play:
1) Word Mode: Discover the name of the objects and the corresponding sounds
2) Story Mode: Complete the stories by recognizing the missing objects
3) Riddle Mode: Solve six riddles

And it offers the benefits of:
• Teaches English and Spanish language skills in a fun and interactive way
• Introduces children to new and exciting sound effects
• Helps develop coordination and gross motor skills

Chicco was nice enough to send us a Talking Vacation Car to review and Blake has found a new favorite toy!! Here he is giving it a spin.

I was impressed first by all the buttons that can be pressed, and secondly by the size and quality. This car has a nice weight and feels like it will withstand lots of play. Blake easily figured out how to make the car talk and the headlight light up, which I love. And, Wyatt enjoyed the riddles and playing with the suitcase, which is removable.

The car kept the boys entertained for a long while and they keep going back to play with the car. The one problem I forsee is that the boys will be fighting over this car.LOL

The Chicco Talking Vacation Car retails for $34.99 and can be purchased online from ToysRUs.
