Keeping your eyes on one car while it tries to lose you
Fifty seconds of drifting, noise and a boot full of money.
Follow one car as it moves and the money is yours. It is a good idea and children get genuinely competitive about it, which makes fifty seconds disappear. This is one of the noisier things here though: heavy music, bright colour, quick cutting, and our review names loud noises as frightening for four and five-year-olds specifically. Eight and up will be fine, and will probably try to follow along themselves. A moderate merchandise pull sits behind it.

Why it works
Tracking something with your eyes is a task a child can do from the sofa, which turns watching into playing, and that is why it holds attention better than a straight stunt would. The stakes are visible from the first second and the result is definite. What we would weigh against that is everything else in the mix, because this sits at the loud end of an already loud channel and leaves a child noticeably livelier.
When to reach for it
- Play along from the sofa Ask them to track it too, and see which of you loses the car first (it will be you).
- Anything with an engine For a child deep in a phase about cars and unwilling to discuss anything else.
- Not in the last hour Save it for earlier on, because it will help nobody wind down before bed.

Questions parents ask
Can a child actually keep track of it?
Some manage, and they will tell you about it for the rest of the day. The movement is quick enough to be a real challenge, which is exactly what makes playing along worth doing.
Why are four-year-olds flagged specifically?
For the noise. Our review names loud sounds as frightening at that age in this clip, and combined with bright colour and quick cutting it is simply too much for a small child.
Is dangerous driving being shown?
It is stunt driving done by people who do it for a living, and nothing about it is presented as something to copy. Nothing above five picks up a fear flag.
