Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Boats and Planes
from: Silverlit


Bought one of these for myself and it was quickly stolen by my 53 year-old father!
The helicopter is everything it claims to be. I've found that 20 minutes is usually all it needs for a full charge and you get about 8 minutes of flying time for that.
As mentioned in the instructions, running the battery all the way down WILL kill the battery life until the helicopter is no longer fly-able so that is something to watch out for.
As it's a two channel helicopter (one for thrust, the other for direction) it wont fly forward without some weight at the front. I've found that stabbing the nose with a pin with some blue tack at the end can make for respectable forward motion.

Overall great fun.

Silverlit PicooZ Twin Blade 3 Channel Helicopter - TandemZ

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Boats and Planes
from: Silverlit

April 14, 2008
I'd been hanckering after a RC helicopter for a while, and one with at least 3 channels, and this fitted the bill on a special offer price of a little over 20 quid.

6 AA batteries are required for the control unit, from which the helicopter cahrges. It needs about 30 minutes for a good 10 minutes flying. Not pictured on the sales images are the two clear plastic stabilising fins which help it stay stable, but they do work,the front one can be removed when experience is gained.

Overall, after the helicopter is trimmed, stable flight can be easily achieved, but it does struggle near the ground as its own draft makes it unsteady. While the body is only polystyrene, its quite robust surviving many crashes into walls at hitting ... Read More:

Wow - Johnny Jungle Plane Friction Powered Plane with Cargo Hold

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Boats and Planes
from: WOW Toys


I bought this for my son when he was 2 years old. There aren't many toy planes on the market and he was delighted with this one. It struck my rational adult mind as fairly odd to have a tiger as a travelling companion - my little boy thought this was amazing.

The figures of the pilot and tiger are satisfyingly smaller (about 5cm at their longest points) than many other toddler toys but are sturdy and safe. The plane itself is a good size for little hands to grasp solidly. The plane's friction action makes a pleasing noise as it revs along. There is a small swivel area on the plane's tail which allows you to view a range of pictures of make-believe contents of the plane.

This was such a great toy that we bought many other sets ... Read More:

Playmobil - Fire & Rescue 4428

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Boats and Planes
from: Playmobil


A lovely toy with great imaginative value. This was the present from our new baby to our little boy (3 and a half years old) - he has played with it non-stop for the past two months! There is such an amazing amount of detail, and of course the Playmobil people and accessories fit with all other Playmobil sets, so children can set up all sorts of adventures: at the moment we have Playmobil pirates 'mending' the helicopter! There are lots of small parts, so that is the only thing to be watchful of with younger children - but great for 3yrs and up I would say.

Playmobil - Cargo Jet Airliner 4310

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Boats and Planes
from: Playmobil


We have one of the Playmobil houses, bought at vast expense, as well as this Cargo Jet Airliner. Once assembled (painstakingly!) they look wonderful but as soon as the children start to play with them, they fall apart. It's incredibly frustrating, especially when pieces go missing. If you buy this toy, try using some superglue when you're putting it together...
