Ridemakerz Review

Vrooommmm.... I have an amazing new toy that I am so excited to tell you about. I was recently contacted and asked to try out Ridemakerz cars.... think Build-a-Bear for daddies- did I say daddies?- I meant boys. My boys-my little one and my hubby- were so excited when the box arrived. We found the most amazing kit inside- it looked a bit like this:

I was truly impressed by the vast array of parts that went to our car. I soon found out that the car we were given to try was a Dodge Challenger- that lead to this:

My little guy was VERY excited and couldn't wait to get started building his car. He and daddy went through the book and read all the directions first (we were actually sent the wrong set of directions for the particular car we had been given, but the assembly was so simple we had no problems at all):

My little guy was very pleased to find out that he could do most of the assembly himself:

With just a little assistance from daddy and in just about 15 minutes, my little guy created this:

and how PROUD he was!!

It was a super rainy day, so we weren't able to try it outside, but my little guy built a race track with his blocks in our kitchen and spent the next few hours racing his car through the track. I was so impressed with the ease of assembly of the car as well as the durability of the pieces. This is no flimsy plastic car-it is made of heavy material that can withstand many bumps and even a roll off the kitchen table with no problem.

Ridemakerz has created a great product and they are opening stores around the country for the complete car making experience.
