I was pleasantly surprised by how fun this car is. My 8yo niece was able to figure it out quickly, and really loves the wrist remote, though it's going to take some practice for her to really get the hang of it.The great:- Batteries are rechargeable, and there are 2 so you can be playing while the other is recharging.- Works surprisingly well on all terrains, including our gravel driveway and grass.- Battery generally lasts longer than her attention span!- Decent speed- Handheld remote is very intuitive- Wrist remote is pretty uniqueNotes (not things that are necessarily bad, hence the 5 stars, but might be interesting to folks):- Remotes need batteries that you supply- Wrist remote takes some getting used to. I will say that the younger ones seem to find it more intuitive than the parents did :D...
