Toys to fullfil your little brat's dreams!

With technology becoming more and more an integral part of everyone's life, even simple toys meant for young kids is going hi-tech. Gone are the days when the kids were satisfied with whatever their elders bought for them, now they believe in reaching out for the toys themselves.

An imported scooter is on top of a little brat's wishlist these days. The Chinese made a automated scooter with rechargeable battery, that can cost you anything between Rs 9,000 to Rs 10,000. These scooters can be recharged very easily and the speed of the scooter is somewhere around 10 kmph. Though the rider of the scooter doesn't need a driving licence but the minimum age requirement for driving it is at least 10 years!

The scooters are available in many models and you get it according to your budget. The low-end models is the four-wheel cane kart or three-wheel trio. These models are available in the price range of Rs 3,000 to Rs 5,000 and these automated scooters are available in almost all high-end toy shops in big cities.

The other all time favourite of the kids are video games, and as with everything else, the old videogames have been gradually replaced by the gameboy, which is more hi-tech and advanced. This is a handheld device on which you can play games of your choice and the best thing about it is that, it is portable too.

The gameboy is available in two models - single and double screen. With the gameboy, you get three cartriges or three games. The other good feature which you get is the link cable - through it you can connect to other gameboys and play with multiple players. The gameboys are available in the range of Rs 5,000 to Rs 11,000. Every extra cartrige will cost you anything from Rs 250 to Rs 1,750.
 
Another gadget is sure to catch your youngster's eye is a remote controlled aeroplane. With a state-of-art back and side wings of the aeroplane, you can glide it up to the height of 10 to 50 feet. But maneuvering of the plane requires a bit of professional help and lots of practice. The plane is available in various models in the price range of Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 and if you want to go for a four-winged UFO, then you can get them for Rs 10,000.

Other than these options, there are replicas of various cars and bikes which kids particularly like. A beautiful replica of a Maybach can be yours for just Rs 4,500 and if you choose to go in for a Bentley sports car, then that will cost you Rs 2,895 or you can also chose from various BMW models, which will come in the price range of Rs 1,195 to Rs 3,495. But if your kid is a Mercedes fan, then buy one for him for Rs 4,500.

There are also some collectors models available for parents if they are car freaks. There is a limited edition Lamborghini that is available for a cool Rs 19,500. You can also get bikes of brands like Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Harley Davidson in the price range of Rs 175 to Rs 2,495. If you want a specific model and it is not available, then you can order it at a well-known store and they will keep it for you.

To further increase sales of these toys, manufacturers are coming up with lots of new initiatives to make them more popular. With so many choices available in the market, it would definitely leave both the kids and their parents confused. But to a this situation, Fisher Price toys have come up with an innovative idea - they are hiring toy consultants who will help you to choose what is best for your kid according to his/her age.

The best thing about Fisher Price toys is that all the toys are categorized according to a age group. For instance, for newborn babies there's a glider range of toys. If your child is three year old, then buy him/her a piggy bank, which will teach them to learn how to save.
