Remote Control Model Nikko iCruiser (40MHz) (1:120 scale by Nikko)
Nikko's tiny iBoat and iTruck both in one pack with boat trailor. Both items can be recharged from the contoller but you can only control one item at a time. A 2 minute charge gives roughly 6 minutes of run time.
Advantages: Great Range, good value for money Disadvantages: Not many
...Happy-land toys are a must for all toddlers. Early Learning Centre has such a wide range there is definitely something for everyone. My daughter has a few of these sets which she got for her second birthday and she loves playing with them. She has Goosefeather farm which consists of a Barn, an array of farm animals, some troughs, a pig sty, a sheep pen, a tractor, trailer and a play mat. I must admit the play mat is pretty much redundant but she plays with all the other pieces.
The Barn has doors, two stables, a hay loft and five buttons that make various farm animal sounds, sheep, pig, cow, horse and chicken. I set up all the farm and put all the animals in the pens and the stables and she comes along and moves them all around very frustrating, no seriously, she moves them around and pretends they are eating. She takes them...

Advantages: Sorry, None, Even the price is too much, compared to more serious models. Disadvantages: Uncontrollable, Bad transmitter/receiver set, Too expensive, no replacement parts when damaged.
...I got one as a present, two months ago, not hindered by any knowledge about rc helicopter flying.
It took me about 2 hours to crash it in such a way that the helicopter was unrecoverable. ( broken tailboom )
The transmitter / receiver set is crap and caused me to loose control in the last crash. The helicopter was about 30 yards away from me and could not be controlled anymore.
Having read a lot more about rc helicopters and buying a more serious beginner's model now, i can give you my review on the Nikko:
--
The fact that it has only 3 channels for control makes it impossible to control.
You need at least 4 channels to succesfully hover a helicopter:
1 Throttle ( up/down )
2 Rotate tail
3 Forward / Backward ( elevators )
4 Roll left / right ( ailerons )
For a few dollars more it is possible to buy a beginners helicopter...

Advantages: Reliability Disadvantages: recharge time
...I bought this product for my 9 year old son for a Christmas present last year and I can say that it is a wonderful gift to give a son/daughter. It was fun for all the family as we stood on the street playing with the car for many hours.
The battery life was very long lasting and endured for many hours. The recharge took a while, but it is worth it.
The car's speed is fairly fast, not as fast as other RC cars on the market, but for the price you pay, its a good bit of reliable fun.
After hitting several curbs it was still going with no sign of damage, so id say its durability is good.
Its only setback is the design, but from my sons view, it was deemed "cool".
I hope this review helped you....
