What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Lights, Sounds, and Programmed Movement will keep kids entertained. The Bad: Rocket doesn't move in a straight line. In a Nutshell: For kids who enjoy Disney's Little Einsteins, the Transform 'n Go Rocket will provide entertainment to keep the imaginations active and adventurous. At a Glance Ages: 3 and older Requires: 4 AA batteries

As children transform the vehicle from one to another, the vehicle "recognizes" the parts being attached to it and makes different sound effects in turn. For example, when the turbo rocket is installed, it says, "Let's go superfast!" (The vehicle itself, sadly, doesn't actually go faster.)

Parents might be needed for the initial set up in which two engines are snapped into the rocket, as well as for changing the batteries. The Transform 'n Go Rocket runs on 4 AA batteries (included) and requires a Phillips screwdriver to change.

Put Leo in the Driver's Seat and Program an Imaginative Ride
The Transform 'N Go Rocket includes a Leo character from Little Einsteins, and he fits snugly into the pilot seat of the rocket. Additional characters from other Little Einsteins adventure sets fit into the rocket as well.

When the rocket is transformed and ready to go, children have a choice of programming it to move in six paths: Forward, left, right, spin, figure eight, and zig-zag. By pushing a combination of them, you can program the rocket to put on a show. Up to 20 moves can be inputted to be performed in a row by simply pushing the buttons in the order you want and then pushing the "PAT" button to make the rocket go.

We put the rocket through its paces and found it to function as expected (though "forward" wasn't quite straight). The spin, figure eight, and zig-zag modes were especially fun to watch, and we think kids will love programming a long, idiosyncratic path for the rocket to get from one place to another.

Product Description
The fun really takes off as kids transform Rocket to go on daring missions, just like on the hit TV show. Start by building the motorized rocket into any of three different vehicles. You'll hear exciting rocket sounds and character phrases specific to the vehicle you built. For each vehicle type, Rocket has a pre-programmed motorized action and can be custom programmed with up to 20 motion paths. Playset includes the amazing Turbo Booster gadget from the show -- watch it light up and spin so Rocket can go into super-fast mode. Requires four "AA" batteries, included.
