The Bottom Line
This is a clever toy that's very engaging for toddlers who like cars and trucks, though it's noisy and has no volume control.
Pros

Cons

- The front panel pops off the truck requiring frequent, "Mommy fix its!"
Description

Guide Review - Chicco Turbo Touch Speed Truck Toddler Toy
This clever truck toy is great for 2 and 3-year-olds who love cars and trucks and racing. The car carrier is chunky and big and it's easy to convert it to a race track by unfolding the top portion.
The truck plays guitar music and engine sounds, and even a "wah-wah-waaaaah" at the end of the race. It's too loud but a few pieces of Scotch tape over the speaker made a quick fix.
The car makes engine sounds, too and it is easy for toddlers to push down on the back to trigger the motor. It spins out after a few feet, which looks cute because you're looking at the eyes on the windshield. It's a fun design.
My own 2-year-old son played with this toy for a long while. Its versatility and ease of use for a toddler makes it fun.
