Dinos to Vehicles ~ These Toys Rock!
My kids love the new VTech Switch & Go Dinos! They first saw them on Nick Jr. commercials on TV, and all my five year old son could talk about was getting the one that looked like a plane! Well, he was in luck! I was able to get my hands on the plane toy (Span Dino), as well as the large car carrier (Brok Dino)! He was beside himself to say the least when the package showed up on our doorstep! He could not believe he got these two awesome and durable toys to play with. My daughter who is eight years old even loves playing with these! It’s nice when there are toys they will both play with together!
What We Love About These Toys:
These are the BEST transforming toys we have ever owned! My son loves the idea of transforming toys, but we’ve been disappointed in the past with a few that have been too hard to transform, break easily, and really just seem junky. These toys are completely opposite! I was so excited to see how well-made and durable these toys are! Also, when we were ready to transform them I started searching for the directions (as we’ve needed in the past), but before I could even find them my kids figured out how to transform them on their own just from looking at the picture on the box. It was great! And they could transform them back and forth easily (unlike others we’ve had). These are wonderful and well worth the money!
Some Favorite Features the Kids Love:
They love that these also make sounds and talk. When you transform the toys the digital eyes on the LCD screen changes from people in the vehicles to dino eyes. The sounds and what it says changes for each as well. It’s very cool! My kids also love that the plane shoots out little disks while in plane mode, and that the car carrier includes a race car and launcher as well as a motorized neck that moves when in dino mode. My son also liked the baby dino with crane, cage and rescue lift that goes with the plane dino (Span). He gets so creative while playing with these! Oh, and when you fly the plane around in different directions the plane sounds like it’s flying faster/slower/higher/lower. It’s awesome!
I personally love that both these toys are educational as well. The dinos state many facts (70-80) about dinosaurs when talking (origin of dino names, their size, what they do and eat, etc). Toys that show educational value are so much more worth the money in my opinion! Kids don’t even realize they’re learning when having fun with these toys!
I highly recommend these toys and personally think they are going to be the HOT TOY this holiday season! If I were you, I would purchase them now while you can still get them (and then just hide them from your kids)! Who wants to pay double during the holidays on eBay when you can get them now?

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for VTech. I received VTech Switch & Go Dinos product samples to facilitate my review.
these are cute!! my son would have a field day with those! he loves flying toys 🙂
Those are adorable. I see Christmas presents of these in the future!
These are great, my kids have enjoyed ours too!
I have a 6 year old boy over here who is in LOVE with dinosaurs!!! I can see how those might just make their way onto a Cristmas list!
I like how it makes sounds based on how high it’s flying. How cool is that? I also love that it changes to eyes when in dino mode. These are fun!
Looks like a lot of fun. Love VTech’s selection for every age group!
Those look like so much fun! I’ve always loved Vtech, they make such a wide range of great stuff.
Super Cute! I like the look of these toys… I will keep these in mind for when my son gets older a bit! Thanks! 🙂
These are awseome, Our would love these. Looks like they had fun too:)
We reviewed these as well with our 5 boys. They all loved them! It has been the one (2–or should I say more since they transform?) toys that have actually kept their interests for weeks! Any toy that holds up to 5 boys and keeps their interest is a good one in my book! 🙂
My son might be too young, but he would love that dino!! YOUR kiddos are lucky and it’s not even Christmas yet.
I’ve been having my eye on those. Thanks for the review!
Those are so cool! I have two little boys who would LOVE those! And my daughter would have fun playing with them as well. lol. I really like the air plane one too, your son has great taste!
Those look entertaining and fun! I bet my toddlers would love having a car AND a dinosaur in one!
oh my goodness look how happy he is! my little boy would love them too 🙂
These look really cool. I seen the commercial on tv and think even my girls would love playing with them.
Wow! They love them for sure. They will be a great gift for the holidays. Thanks for sharing.
What great toys! My daughter would love the dinosaur. Great post!
I have to admit that transforming toys have really disappointed my kids too. I’ll have to check these out!
These look so fun. If my son were still small, I would def have this on my Christmas list! Great post, great pics!

I bet my kids would LOVE those! They both play with airplanes and cars, and it’s sooo adorable to see them down there together, making those automobile noises and such. I love playing with them, too! 🙂
Those look like so much fun!!!
We love Vtech! Maybe in a couple years G will be into these toys since she is only 2 now. 🙂
My nephews would love these. They have many other quality V-tech toys
