While this is a fun time for kids. It is short lived as it’s not as easy to control the car using the controller. Kids get tired and frustrated fast and in no time at all the battery in the car is exhausted and needs a recharge. The claims are true however, it will run on the smooth clean surface of the floor, wall and ceiling. Quite cool actually. Note: Kids need parents around to put it on the wall and ceiling.
Pros
- Controller is small for small hands
- Car shell is made of flexible plastic less likely to crack when it falls from the wall/ceiling when the battery dies
- The car actually goes quite fast
- The car cannot change from wall to ceiling without being placed on the wall or ceiling.
Cons
- Wall Racing runs the suction fan which is uses the battery faster. The battery only lasts for 10 -15 min per 45 min charge cycle. Little ones get impatient during this time.
- The battery in the car is not changeable and when the battery stops holding a charge the car will be useless
- The car runs fairly fast with no way to slow it down. It’s difficult to use the controller with limited wall or ceiling space. The next gen uses a laser controller which would be easier for kids to use.

Assembly Required by an adult as there are small parts. Stickers are required to be stuck.
Kids are impatient, do the stickers for them (but with them) as it takes patience and time to stick properly
Metal housing on the Truck, but rest of parts are plastic
15 min assembly time, no tools required, snap together - One time assembly only.
Hard to disassemble for storage. Storage made more efficiently by putting the tower to flat horizontal position.
Assembly instruction in many languages, but best to follow pictures for simplicity
Parts are plastic. No spring parts, The launcher is based on jamming/driving the leaver down aggressively which propels the truck. You will want to teach the child where to look and where to strike the launcher for safety. (ie. the end of the launcher handle)
Monster trucks ... do I need say more.
Toy comes with only one truck, but would have been better with 2 for kid competitions
To win ... hit the appropriate number plastic flag (1 thru 10). The 10th flag launches the celebration top of the tower with tinsel.
Note. The tower can be tilted to 5 positions for various ways to tip the flags.
Caution Note: This should not be played with in or near the direction of TV's, Xmas Trees etc. as the launcher could propel the metal body truck toy over the Pole/Flag Target and cause damage/breakage. Best to educate the child where is safe to play with this toy.
Children who love monster trucks play for hours, and return to have competitions/challenges

I tried the Colgate Advance Repair and Protect for 3 times a day, for 3 days. It comes in a 120ml recyclable tube which is self standing for reduced counter space usage.
The the tooth paste seems not as thick as other toothpastes and is white containing blue specs in it. It has a minty flavour which is nice and not over powering strong. It does not have a long lasting after taste yet still leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
As to the claims of Advance protect and repair, the usage of the tooth paste during a short period of review cannot be substantiated over short time. I would anticipate this could take many month or years of use to see effects. I did however feel a reduction of tooth sensitivity which gives hope to results. Long term use and time will tell.

Irish Spring Body Wash lives up to its claims. I tested and used it during 24 hour periods and it lasts.
Works especially well during the hot muggy summer days and nights.
The bottle has a perfect use pump action. The smell of the body wash is fresh and stays with you for the 24 hours claimed.
With this bodywash, your skin feels the moisture retenion without a dry or film left behind.
The smell keeps you feeling crisp, alert and invigorated.
Definitely one of the top Men's Bodywash out there.

Let's note that first we are talking about PAW PATROL. This is the words uttered by every child these days.
The CHASE RESCUE TRUCK comes securely packaged and will need adult assistance to open.
The truck inside comes with Chase figure which fits in the drivers seat in the front and also on the platform when the truck opens.
There is a launcher inside which launches plastic sticks (comes with 2).
Note: As a precaution, teach the child that it should not be aimed at any other child in play.
The instructions are very simple and mostly picture oriented.
No where does it say what exactly the sticks that shoot out are supposed to actually be.
Not sure if that is in the cartoon itself or not.
Once you show your child where it goes and how to shoot it, it really does not matter as it becomes the goal to get it into a cup or hit the target.
Again, not sure if it really goes as part of a "rescue" toy but it keeps the children engaged.
The truck is compact and when the back opens upwards to reveal a platform for Chase to sit, 2 secure spots for the 2 launch stick and the closed launcher.
The truck when extended opens the launcher to launch position. The sticks are insertable to the launcher where it clicks.
When the launch button on the launcher is pressed, the spring loaded
The launcher is spring loaded and fairly weak so the sticks will launch about 1 foot up and 2-3 feet forward.
The launcher does not swivel but the truck can be angled to change direction
Children can have hours of fun trying to aim at set targets and using their imagination playing with this Rescue Truck
Remind the child to put the sticks back in the truck after every play. These are small and should not be left for other small children to potentially put in their mouth.
Additionally they can be easily sucked up into a vacuum cleaner and if lost the launcher is useless. There are only 2 provided with the Toy Truck.
More should have been provided (Ideally 4 to 6).
It's recommended for 3 an up. I would say maybe 4 is more appropriate.
