VTech’s 2015 range of new introductions include:

Kidizoom® Action Cam
VTech is bringing parents’ technology to a new generation of active kids with the introduction of the multi-function Kidizoom Action Cam. Following the huge success of the Kidizoom® Smartwatch, one of the hottest tech toys of 2014, the Kidizoom Action Cam allows kids to play and capture their adventures with videos and photos on-the-go. The Kidizoom Action Cam features a robust, durable design and comes complete with mounts for attaching to a bike, skateboard or scooter, plus a waterproof case, all at an affordable price, making it an exceptional alternative to an expensive adult action camera.

Flipsies
Combining technology and innovation, Flipsies is a new line that encourages girls to dream big and offers endless ways to play. With unique features such as 2-in-1 play, lights, sounds, music and interactive components, Flipsies not only strengthen the play experience, but capture a child’s imagination. Developed for young girls who have big aspirations, Flipsies dolls and playsets offer an exceptional interactive experience beyond traditional role play. Eight introductory themes encourage girls to dream to be anything they want to be, whether it’s a doctor, marine biologist, teacher or even a princess. Transformation features and electronic interactions between the characters and playsets enhance the play value and allow girls to imagine living out their dreams. Every Flipsies doll and playset offers both real world and dream world modes, with interactive technology that elicits unique phrases from the Flipsies dolls to stimulate fun, imaginative role play. Each Flipsies doll includes two outfits and two wigs, plus other accessories to help her dream become a reality. Anchored by Sandy’s House & Ocean Cruiser, a beautiful 2-in-1 interactive house that magically transforms into a luxury ocean cruiser, the introductory product line features 18 offerings.

Baby, Infant and Preschool

Go! Go! Smart Family
VTech is maximizing toddler fun with the expansion of its award-winning Go! Go! Smart family, including extensions to the Wheels and Animals lines, and introducing Go! Go! Smart Friends.

The expanded Go! Go! Smart Animals line includes fun new playsets such as the Grow & Learn Farm™, featuring SmartPoint® locations that work with every SmartPoint animal and vehicle.
