Our specialist team of ambassadors – have got to grips with a selection of outdoor AND indoor product from Wilton Bradley, from YouTubing and vlogging indoors to muddy walks on scooters, go-karts and more. Here’s their view on the best from Wilton Bradley…
Xootz Scooter
Spike and Rémy, 9
Mum Marie-Claire, Any toy which encourages my children to go outside and play will get my vote. It was a cold wintry day and they were racing about for around 90 minutes without tiring or getting bored. They were ruddy-cheeked and ready for hot chocolates afterwards.
Spike thought it was a good combination of a bike and scooter.
Rémy liked the bike and scooter being merged together – he says it’s much better off-roading than his normal scooter, which makes it more fun, and he could take it when we go on long muddy walks.
They were fairly easy to set up, all the instructions were clear and it didn’t take very long. The boys thought it looked a bit like their dad’s electric scooter, and were therefore very eager to try them out.
I thought they looked safer than their bikes and more sturdy than their scooters, which was pleasing. Not so much need for helmets etc but they wore them anyway.
They liked the big centreboard with a place to rest their ‘push-off’ foot. The handlebars were nice and wide and felt big but easy to control
Rémy has decided he no longer needs to go on long muddy walks anymore! But yes, for a fun way to get them out in the fresh air for a few hours this was a great choice.
Viper & Venom Go Karts
Spike & Rémy, 9
Dad Paul, I liked the fact that they’re not as speedy as their bikes, so there’s less likelihood of injury and we could keep up with them!
They enjoyed racing against each other; it’s the first time they’ve tried pedal go-karts and they had a lot of fun on a leafy, wet Sunday afternoon in the fresh air.
The Viper was easier to turn around small corners. It’s a little on the small size for our nine-year-olds.
Size-wise it was a good fit for them with the seat in its furthest back position. The seat has two positions, but like the Viper it requires five minutes with a spanner and screwdriver to adjust for different heights.
The gears are a nice touch, it makes it seem a bit more grown up, and they loved the colours and decals, which they thought were very cool.
They’d absolutely use it again – they enjoyed going up and down the path with them.
