The Fisher-Price Power Wheels Dune Racer provides a safe and fun way to get your kids into the driving action. Designed for outdoor use, this off-road vehicle features a Monster Traction drive system that enables it to go on hard surfaces, wet grass, and rough terrain. Its sturdy steel frame with flashy chrome accents boasts an open cockpit design that is roomy enough to handle two riders. With two forward drive speeds, one reverse speed, and a 12-volt rechargeable battery, this Dune Racer offers hours of fun for ages three and up.
The Power Wheels Dune Racer is constructed with a sturdy steel frame that supports a maximum weight of 130 pounds. Sleek chrome accents on the rims, bumper, and shifter highlight its durable bright green plastic exterior. A pair of metal sidebars provides stable hand supports, while the pretend seatbelts with Velcro fasteners help get kids in the habit of buckling up. For added safety, the interior of the vehicle features smooth contours and rounded edges to protect against cuts and scratches.
The Power Wheels Dune Racer is designed to navigate rough terrain for off-road fun. The vehicle's big, rugged tires and Monster Traction drive system keep it from getting stuck--hard surfaces, lush lawns, wet grass, gravel, and mud are no obstacle at all! Common backyard bumps like tree roots, ruts, sidewalk and driveway edges, and garden hoses are also easily navigable.
Whether your child is a beginner or an advanced driver, the Dune Racer's two driving speeds can accommodate him or her. The vehicle features an electronic power lock braking system that automatically stops the vehicle when your child's foot lifts from the pedal. A shifter with high-speed lockout for beginners provides custom control of driving speeds--low speed for normal 2-1/2-mph cruising, and high speed for maximum 5-mph racing. The vehicle can also shift into reverse for convenient backing up.
The Power Wheels Dune Racer performed remarkably well in testing. The vehicle took approximately 90 minutes to assemble and 18 hours to fully charge. Its solid construction and low center of gravity provided optimal handling and balance. Thanks to its 12-volt rechargeable battery, the vehicle drove with sufficient power backwards and forwards, providing an enjoyable ride. However, steering capability was somewhat limited, and the plastic tires easily wear on hard surfaces. Despite these concerns, kids will likely appreciate the sleek styling, powerful handling, and custom controls.
The first Power Wheels vehicles came rolling along in 1971. Every Power Wheels vehicle is designed, manufactured, and tested to the highest standards, meeting precise specifications and rigorous laboratory tests. Before they're produced, Power Wheels vehicles are put to the test by kids, both in the Fisher-Price onsite Play Lab and through the Fisher-Price in-home test program, to make sure they're age appropriate, easy to operate, and, of course, fun.
The Power Wheels Dune Racer is backed by a one-year limited warranty on the vehicle and six-month limited warranty on the battery.

Action-Packed Play With Developmental Benefits
Kids love to make things go at this age. Car racing gives them a taste of speed, action, and the thrill of competition while teaching them valuable lessons about cause and effect, and good sportsmanship. With this kind of play, everyone wins! Toys like this "rev up" kids’ imaginations. With the World Grand Prix as a tool, kids can create a pretend world where they control the action. If they’ve already seen the movie—or at least know some of the characters—they’ll get a head start retelling their favorite stories, and then building on these to create their own adventures. Perhaps your race car needs to make a stop at the garage for repairs? Or gets knocked off track by the camera, just like in the movie! This type of play puts them on the fast track to security, imagination, and self-confidence!
