Poorly Made

This product was poorly made. Within 30 seconds of it being out of the package and played with the gears for the wheels popped out of alignment and stopped working. My husband had to then unscrew the bottom plate and pop them back into place. For an $80 toy that is unacceptable.
Other than that my kids love playing with this toy. I do find that it is extremely loud and grating on the nerves, and the number of batteries it takes is absurd.

Good fun for toddlers but not safe

My 3.5yrs old was thrilled to receive a Dino Rescue Dino Patroller and has been having a lot of fun since then. He particularly loves being able to carry his dinosaurs or other toys in the back of the patroller and being able to close the back to hide them and keep them safe. The rescue net projectiles are a big hit too!
There are however some major negative points in my opinion:
- the patroller is quite massive and heavy (much bigger than I was expecting)
- I've had to switch it off as it is really noisy once you push the button to make it roll, and the noise is so loud that it scare my 3.5yrs old boy.
- once it rolls it's hard for little ones to reach the button to stop it from going as the patroller goes quite fast and moves a lot
- I wouldn't recommend this toy to younger children as the all terrain wheels are quite big and have quite some traction, and fabrics/clothes get caught in the wheels once the patroller rolls. I can easily imagine a small child being hurt if his clothes or hands get caught in the wheels.
All in all, this toy is good fun but I don't feel it's safe enough for a young child hence the 3 stars.

overall just an okay toy with a few quirks

I am not sure I would buy the product at the current price point as things on it are easily broken and it could use a few adjustments. My child was excited about the product before it was even opened but after the product was played with it left a little more to be desired. The fact with just a press of a button the car moves forward entertained my little one but the back area where you can place the dino is not helpful during that. When in motion the dinosaur falls over or out the back of the patroller because there is nothing holding it in. There is a cool area up front that opens and holds to characters and one of the yellow pretend nets that shoot out of the top. I had another issue with that portion of the vehicle as well, when the stick part of the yellow net is not placed exactly straight on inside the launcher it becomes stuck and wont shoot when button is pressed. The only way to remove this is by yanking it back out and replacing it in, problem with that is this yanking takes the spring inside with it. Eventually because of this that portion of my vehicle has already broken and no longer shoots anything. Basically only one day of ownership and now that my child has found the dino does not stay in and he can no longer use the launcher he just carries the dino around and leaves the patroller alone.
