Fun and educational toy.
Lovely product to keep kids quiet. My children love things like this, they will spend ages engaged in things like this.Would make a lovely Christmas/Birthday present. We've actually recommended this product to a few people and bought more for gifts for my daughters school friends.

Inspiring and engaging but challenging and needs adult-support for younger users
The media could not be loaded. This coding set is fun and insightful of how to begin getting from A to B.As seen in the photos and video, by using double sided direction cards, I could support my child to navigate halfway around the map and first collect the astronaut, then to continue the journey to get the rock.Unfortunately the astronaut isn’t magnetic like the rock so the user does need to stop the rover and put the astronaut in the orange claw at the back, but the rock does attach to the front bumper of the rover. However, the user can’t then move or return with the rock, but there is celebratory music!It seems that the rover isn’t overly receptive of 90degree angles so some practice and good-enough attitude is necessary, although the wooden flooring might make a difference as it may be skidding - the rover does skid on the cards.The booklet provided has some good troubleshooting guides and 5 ideas of maps to navigate around household items then a qr code for more inspirationOverall, a fun game but would recommend for an older age than 4years old.

Great for teaching basic coding
Good quality, educational toy for teaching the basics of coding and programming. Easy to use and fun to play with, this is also great for sparking an early interest in technology and getting children engaged in fun, creative, imaginative play.

Houston we have no problem!
This is fantastic. It's a great introduction for children into coding, and they learn by having fun. This set comprises of a programmable Space Rover that has command buttons for 4 directions with a start/clear previous button - all large enough for young kids to use. You get 20 cards that start young minds thinking about direction and an introduction to coding. You have a spaceman figure that rides on the Rover and a small rock that you direct the Rover to find. You press the button for forward but the Rover only moves small disatnces. So you have to lern how many times to press the button to make the Rover go the distance you want it to - laying out the cards to help you track the way. Forward/left/right/backwards. Children love learning how to programme the Rover and the cards are really hepful. We started simple but now include obstacles to see how they can navigate round and reach the rock.This is great. I really recommend it. It's a great way to start to understand the foundations of coding, whilst having fun. Kids don't even realise they are learning as they play. It requires 3AAA batteries which aren't included. It does seem to be quite good on battery power though. We have been playing with this a lot and haven't needed to replace the batteries so far.

educational with fun
Simple but good for education and fun. This coding set is inspiring and engaging, and needs adult support. Anyway it's always fun to play with your kids, not to help but in my opinion to play together. The importance is to engage.It's a lot fun for the kids anyway, while learning coding, consciously or not does not matter as no need to tell or force. This is a great addition to the classroom activities.It's good for both old and young. Highly recommended.

Educational and fun mixed together.
This kit is a fun way for kids to start coding, and helpful with understanding the very simple and basic ideas. It will require a little bit of guiding with young children, but the moving parts definitely keeps them interested and intrigued to learn more.There's not a lot inside, but enough to have some fun.It does require batteries, which are not included, so kind of inconvenient. For a relatively advanced kit, I would've expected a lithium battery or two to come with the set or at least built in so that it can be charged up and played rather than constantly having to replace batteries.£28.08 at the time of review isn't too bad for a learning kit and a lot of design thought has gone into this, so it's worthwhile if you want your child to pick up coding from an early age.

Stellar coding fun
Merging coding with a space theme, this set created hours of educational fun. Programming sequences and watching the rover explore its surroundings became the highlight of playtime. The absence of screens was a thoughtful touch, bringing kids closer to tactile learning. Combining this with other sets only expanded the imaginative space landscape. Remember to keep AAA batteries on hand though!

A little difficult
This toy is fun but a little difficult to use. It’s much better suited for an older child.

Nice Starter Coding Toy
This is a nice toy to get small kids to explore basic programming. The kit comes with a programmable car and cards like described in the product page. I got this for my 6 year old nephew that stays with us a lot. The way I use it with him and my kids (from the youngest to the oldest) is that we try to see who can program the car the best to get to a specific place in the house. Tons of fun since we spice it up with smack talk and a lot of competitive spirit.

Jouer et apprendre
Ce jouet est juste génial. Je trouve l'idée géniale d'initier les enfants au codage en les faisant jouer.Cela permet d'apprendre tout en s'amusant.Le prix est très intéressant, je recommande !

fun but tricky
this is a fun introduction to coding. it does seem bit expensive for $45 though. I think $25 sounds more fair. it can get tricky for my youngest child because you have to pay attention to what direction the car is going to be facing before inputting the directions.

Bonne apprentissage
Un véhicule de l espace de bonne qualité qui fonctionne avec 3 piles AAA non fourni d ailleurs pour le prix aurai pu.Sinon très intéressant plus de 100 encodages pour que les enfants apprennent les directions chaque Changement enregistrés se fait sur une dizaine de centimètres.Petit son qui sort des qu il rencontre un obstacle.Des cartes sont fournis pour suivre sont trajet.Jouet très intéressant même si un peu chère à mon gout
