Magnetic toy cars buying guide
A lot of fun play sets. But what do you pay attention to when buying one? magnetic toys car?
Magnet
The magnets must be strong enough to stick properly. Definitely at magnetic cars is this even more important than with magnet tiles (the best rated here).
Your child also wants to be able to play with it. Of cars can be driven wildly, so they need to hold on too.
Some brands use neodymium magnets. These are the strongest available while still being able to remain small enough to fit into even small blocks.
Other magnets often do less well, but the placement and combination of magnets is also important.
Age
The recommended age is stated on the box. This is not always the age for which children toys the nicest thing.
Sometimes it even says 3-99, what do you do with that? Does a teenager still enjoy playing with it?
I have looked at all the sets in this article and put the most appropriate age.
 Age from |  Best age |  Age to |
Replayability
How quickly will they be done with it again? You don't want it toys but remains in the corner even though you just bought it new last week.
With this kind toys is it about:
- you can build with it
- can it drive well
A high score on both fronts is perfect, but a high score on one of the two points can also lead to great replayability.
The Blockaroo auto For example, it cannot drive like the best, but it is a very fun set to build with.
The Tegu Roadster doesn't take much to build, but it's sturdy and rides great.
Also note the possible extensions. Magformers, Tegu, and Blockaroo all have great expansions where this one auto sets also fit.
Sustainability
How long does it last toys along? Cheap plastic isn't that expensive, but you probably won't be able to give it to the next little brother or sister.
Wood is extremely sturdy and good toys as Tegu lasts for generations. But good plastic toys can also last a long time.
Just think of Duplo, which everyone still has at home from the past.

Magformers Police Set
- Nice set with police and crook
- Great replayability by combining construction and pretend play
- Quite difficult to put together and especially to keep buildings
- For smaller children, the car can be difficult to play with
Vrrrroem! Are you in time to save the day ?! With this Magformers set you get all the tools you need to build police vehicles and a real desk.
A very nice set in itself that is both educational and fun to play with, and also a nice addition to the basic Magformers set.
Suitable for children between 3 and 12 years old, but fun between 4 and 8 years old.
It becomes especially fun when you have more Magformers tiles. This way you can make more combinations and the police station and auto to expand.
Then it's basically a set that gives the Magformers wheels, and some building accessories.
The wheels are sturdy and most resemble Monster truck wheels. The best part is that you can click them together, but you can also move them a little further apart for a larger one auto using more tiles.
Driving the auto is quite difficult because the tiles are quite loose, especially if you build a larger one.
So it is more of a construction set than one magnetic toys car alone, like perhaps the Tegu Roadster.
Tegu Daredevil
- Sustainable wooden toys
- Car drives really well too
- Very expensive
Tegu is a toy brand that makes everything from wood. Beautiful and sturdy wood.
It's durable and made in Honduras in a responsible manner, that's playing good.
It also makes the set a bit more expensive, but playing with wood gives your child much more in return than plastic toys.
The set is also very well put together. The magnets click well and stay in place, even during heavy driving.
And that's ultimately what you want from one toys car.
This set offers less building options than the Magformers police set. But you can also supplement this with other sets from Tegu.
They all fit together. Here you get at least 12 building pieces.
smart max My First Vehicles
- Good strong magnets
- Fits on other Smartmax sets
- Very cheap wheels
This play set is for the youngest children. It says 1 to 5 on the box, but it's best for kids a little under 1 to about 2 years old, maybe up to 3 years old.
If you already have a toddler, you better choose the Blockaroo Roadster.
Being auto front and back with a magnetic bar in the middle. This allows you to mix and match all colors.
There are not really many combinations possible, but for really young children, for example, it is fun to find the right colors together again and again.
The bars are the same as other Smartmax products so you can also use them with the bars and balls. This way you already have a basis for later magnet toys.
The cars are ok, but the wheels are a bit cheap plastic. They don't really drive great.
As a result, children of 3 to 4 years old will not play with it much anymore, I think. But then it is nice to combine them with other sets.
Blockaroo Foam Roadsters
- Nice building blocks and a car
- Can bathe and shower
- Wheels are not very good
The Blockaroo Roadster is a great fun set for toddlers. They can actually start building something with this.
The box says from 3 years old, but a 2-year-old can also appreciate it. In any case, all preschool children can use it.
There are 13 parts, and it is foam that makes the blocks. Nice and soft and good for sensory stimulation.
They can therefore also take a bath and shower, which is definitely worth trying (they can also be put in the dishwasher afterwards).
As with the Smartmax vehicles, the wheels here are not great either. It's more about building and being able to drive it is a bonus.
13 blocks is not very much, but they also fit on other Blockaroo sets.
Popular Playthings Mix or Match 21 Piece Set
- A lot of cars in a set
- Wheels drive well
- Feels cheap
- Not very educational
There are a lot of parts to combine so that makes it a lot of fun. This way you can sort by color, or make a nice and crazy combination.
This is the kind toys something children enjoy playing with, but which I, as a parent, find less so.
It feels a bit cheap and it's really just that cars.
Although they say on the website that it is educational and stimulates fine motor skills and thinking, that is not really what is happening with it. toys happens.
At least, every one toys is essentially good for fine motor skills.
There are indeed 21 parts, but the combinations are somewhat limited. Many parts are a front or back and only a few center pieces.
It is a set that they will enjoy playing with and the cars it also drives quite well.
Conclusion
Magnet toys is a lot of fun. Add a few wheels and you have endless fun.
I hope this list of the best magnetic toys cars has given you some ideas for your next playset.
