Do you have to use the batteries or can the children just manually push the cars?

Each car takes (1) AA battery. The cars do eat the juice fast but this is the first toy the grand kids ask to play with when they arrive. I believe I've got 4 sets now and the kids just love making tracks around my landscaping in the yard. This usually brings neighbor kids out to investigate also!

They have to scoot themselves or you would have to push. It is not like a regular riding toy, more of a saucer with armrests and wheels. Lots of fun for the kids, not so much for the parents of little ones that require spinning or pushing.

No. There is a pretend key on the dash that does nothing. When the battery is charged, the power wheels are ready to go. The child puts their foot on the pedal and the vehicle goes. When the child lifts their foot from the pedal, it stops.

If the kid's too young to be playing with the car on his/her own, you can always insert the floorboard and push the car around :) It's great until they can scoot themselves around when they're more coordinated.

It has an ac adapter. No batteries needed. Look into the hot wheels. Just got this and it works better, but you need a separate car. But they are cheap and aren't as finicky as this set. (Hot Wheels Team Hot Wheels Total Control Racing Stunt Park). Otherwise, the set you have works ok, just touchy with the track and cars and dust.

They can be pushed manually. When they are in the off position they disengage the gear.

The Matchbox and/or Hot Wheels cars would have to be pushed on the track. The train and cars that work on these tracks are battery powered and go on their own. Not sure if that's what you're asking or not. Hope it helps.

The cars come with small wheels on each of them. I would not recommend them for small children that might put them in their mouths, and couldchoke if a wheel were to come off. Great for children over 5 or 6 yrs. old.

No, thank goodness. This is not a battery operated toy. We've had it for 6 months now and it works great- my 5 year old can manage all the moving parts easily and still loves it.

Yes they need batteries. But the speakers blew within two songs. Its terrible.

Yes, the motorized train can be pushed. My 3 year old grandson does that most of the time, as it can be difficult to turn off the engine with toggle switch. It goes forward and backwards, and "off" is in the middle. This is my grandson's FAVORITE toy. Hours and hours of fun.

They do not have sounds or lights. You or your child will have to provide the sounds. On the bright side no batteries required.

Yes, this train runs on batteries, so you do not have to push it around the track. We got this from my sister a couple of years ago as a Christmas present because she works at Disney, but it was so cheap that we had to return it because pieces kept falling off of it. It did look very cute though and my boys cried when it kept falling apart. Hope that helps anybody who's looking into buying this product. I would not purchase this again.

I bought the Chuggington train for my grandson and I am 90% positive that it doesn't take batteries. The child just moves the cars along the track by hand. If you want a cool battery powered train for little ones (2-6ish), I highly recommend the Duplo Train. Another grandson has that one and adores it. The Chuggington has been fun too, especially when you can make all sorts of track configurations.

Yes, very easily. And, not all of the cars are motorized. My grandson just turned 2. He couldn't stop playing with this. The ramp was too difficult for him, though. The train goes up the ramp, but you turn a crank to help it up. He'll have to wait until he's older. We liked this so much that we then bought extra track and the fire station set. My grandson loves this product. I hope this is helpful to you.

Not that I know of. The cars used are battery operated and have a switch that turns them on and off. They usually come with one or two cars. Best fun ever.
