High hopes and popped ballons
Date: September 15, 2009
"We ordered these cars for the family reunion thinking the kids would love playing with them on the patio. And they would have but... The design of the car made inserting the balloon difficult and the balloon could only be inflated 1 or 2 times before it popped. We changed to ballons we had on hand and found the cars rubbed against the balloons and the balloons popped every time. We were never able to ge the balloons to the size of the picture!"

Poor Quality
Date: May 2, 2009
"We couldn't figure how to get them to work. Directions should be included. Also, the wheels would fall off, and the balloons had a weird chalky material on it. Kids were disappointed."

Junk

"These were very flimsy and the wheels do not stay on. I purchased these for my daycare children, and the kids did not even get one good afternoon of play out of them. The balloons were also poor quality. Not recommended."

"I purchased some of these cars on a trial basis for my toy store. Kids love them (I even had one of them shoplifted!) They are a really neat idea, but the only problem I had was the balloons were difficult to inflate and the cars did not go very far and they tended to flip over. Kids didn't seem to mind. I tried adding larger balloons which helped the cars go farther distance, but the cars still had difficulty staying on the surface without flipping over. The screeching sound was pretty cool, though."

Fun Toy
Date: February 5, 2009
"These cars race straight and fast! I had no problems with any balloons breaking or falling off. Boys & girls had fun for hours!
The only issue was the black plug that was attached to the balloon would fall out once in a while. All you had to do was slip it back in it's spot, if it didn't come out, you wouldn't be able to change the balloon."

Don't waste your money
Date: January 30, 2009
"Balloons popped on first blow up. Replaced with my own balloons, but cars wouldn't race straight. Instead, they spun around in the same spot until the air was gone. VERY disappointing. Plastic car frames are too light and flimsy. Not worth the $8."

Not bad
Date: December 14, 2008
"These cars are great, the balloons that come with them arent much good at propelling the cars, but a regular sized balloon provides hours of entertainment for youngsters. I used them as a birthday present."

"These did not work very well at all. Even worse, when you try to blow them up, the balloons are so thin that they pop in your face."
