TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!
What It Is
The PlasmaBike is a self-balancing bike designed to help children make an easier transition from a three-wheeler to a two-wheel bike. Its two wide wheels ensure that it won't tip over when stationery or in motion. Kids can ride without training wheels and the anxiety of having to hold their balance. There are no pedals or gears. Kids simply use their feet to propel them forward on the PlasmaBike. The PlasmaBike weighs less than eight pounds.
Why It’s Fun
Learning how to ride a two-wheel bicycle can be difficult for kids. Balance bikes help kids feel comfortable and confident as they learn to ride. The PlasmaBike is a great, easy-to-use bike for first-time riders. It gives little kids an encouraging and progressive start to bike riding.
Who It’s For
The PlasmaBike is for ages 18 months and up. The weight limit is 55 pounds.
What to Be Aware of
Always wear a helmet and shoes when riding. Adult supervision is required. The PlasmaBike is not for use on wooden floors as the wheels may damage the floors.
