“Our Go! Go! Smart Wheels and Go! Go! Smart Friends lines have been so successful because parents recognize the unique way we’re infusing technological innovation into recognized play patterns,” said William To, President of VTech Electronics North America. “The addition of the exciting new themes, from an adventure park to an underwater mermaid castle, offer new ways to inspire children’s imaginations and deliver engaging play experiences.”

The colorful, interactive Go! Go! Smart Wheels playsets spark toddlers’ imaginations and encourage creativity while helping them explore concepts of cause and effect. They are designed to deliver important developmental benefits that help children reach social, emotional, language, cognitive, physical and motor milestones. As a child places a SmartPoint vehicle on SmartPoint locations found throughout the playsets, it will respond and engage children with lights, sounds and music. Kids will be in for a fast ride with the new Go! Go! Smart Wheels Race & Play Adventure Park™, an action-packed roller coaster playset featuring a kid-powered ramp, catapult launcher, spinning Ferris wheel and even a 360 degree loop! And stunt racing has never been as much fun as with the Go! Go! Smart Wheels Press & Race™ Monster Truck Rally™, letting kids launch their Press & Race Monster Truck for engaging playtime with a fresh, fun theme. The new playsets also work with other Go! Go! Smart Wheels playsets (sold separately).

Offering a comprehensive, multi-faceted play experience while delivering manipulative play features and charming details, the new fantasy-themed Go! Go! Smart Friends playsets are designed to captivate young children. Kids can explore a magical mermaid world with Mermaid Pearl and her sea friends in the Go! Go! Smart Friends Shimmering Seashell Castle™, featuring three MagicPoint locations for children to interact with, boosting their imaginations and encouraging social play. When it’s time for a sweet treat, the Go! Go! Smart Friends Sweet Surprises Treat Shoppe™ encourages little ones to explore two MagicPoint locations with Lollie and her best friend, Pop the puppy, as well as spin the colorful gears, slide the cherry topper and press the ice cream button to enhance fine motor skills.
