Chicago – Today VTech announced the availability of new Go! Go! Smart Wheels® playsets, offering exciting track and vehicle play designed just for toddlers and preschoolers. The new Go! Go! Smart Wheels toys rev up first words and motor skills with innovative SmartPoint® technology that drives development and imagination.
“We can’t wait for kids to get their hands on our new Go! Go! Smart Wheels cars and playsets,” said Danielle Norwood, Vice President, Marketing, VTech Electronics North America. “The impressive Spiral Construction Tower is packed with play value and kids get immersed in their imaginative adventures with the responses from the interactive SmartPoint vehicles.”
Innovation fuels imagination with SmartPoint technology. As a child places a SmartPoint vehicle on SmartPoint areas found throughout the playsets, it will respond with engaging lights, sounds and music. The Go! Go! Smart Wheels Spiral Construction Tower™ lets kids spin the talking dump truck down the spiral tower, through the switch gate, over the drawbridge and down the ramp. Whether children dream of fixing cars or fighting fires, there are exciting new playsets to encourage their interests, such as the Go! Go! Smart Wheels Fast & Friendly Garage™ and Rescue Tower Firehouse™. Fun meets learning as each twist and turn sparks language development and motor skills. And with the Go! Go! Smart Wheels 4-in-1 Zig-Zag Raceway™, kids can race down the zig-zag track or change the set-up to focus on tricks and speed records, giving little racers action-packed fun and multiple ways to play! Go! Go! Smart Wheels are also expandable, allowing kids to explore unique responses on each SmartPoint as they collect additional track sets and vehicles.
