Chicago – Today VTech announces the availability of new Go! Go! Smart Wheels® playsets, driving excitement to the line with fun new themes to spark toddlers’ imaginations. The Go! Go! Smart Wheels line offers engaging play experiences while teaching first words, letters and more and features innovative SmartPoint® technology that truly brings the toys to life.
“Kids love our Go! Go! Smart Wheels line because it’s fun; parents love that it’s smart and engaging. With this new collection there’s even more to love, with exciting themes that will take kids on thrilling new adventures,” said Andy Keimach, President, VTech Electronics North America. “From a police tower that allows kids to chase a getaway car, to a multi-level, interactive garage, to an airport with a plane that ‘takes off,’ there are engaging play experiences for every child.”
Go! Go! Smart Wheels playsets inspire endless imagination while delivering important developmental benefits that help children reach social, emotional, language, cognitive, physical and motor skill 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. The exciting, interactive Go! Go! Smart Wheels Launch & Chase Police Tower™ will have kids racing, chasing and patrolling the city with this engaging playset. They can pretend to serve and protect as they patrol with Po the SmartPoint Police Car and chase the Getaway Car around the three level rampway, while exploring SmartPoint locations throughout. There is also a new Go! Go! Smart Wheels Tow & Go Garage™, with nine interactive SmartPoint locations, sure to get little gearheads revved up. If they’d rather take to the skies, the new Go! Go! Smart Wheels Take Flight Airport™ will have them soaring as they launch the SmartPoint airplane to the cloud.
The new products are available now at major retailers nationwide. For more information, visit www.vtechkids.com/gogosmartwheels.
