Is your child also fond of colorful and interactive cars?
The nice children's toy brand VTech produces Toet Toet cars: musical, talking cars for children between the ages of 12 months and 5 years old.
This cars have been developed after years of experience in e-learning products and interactive toys.
This company started with e-learning products more than 40 years ago.
In 2011, the sympathetic Go Go cars come into play and quickly become popular. The Go Go's are even so successful that the series can now be seen on Netflix!
But in this article I want to go through the best playsets from the brand with you.
My own favorite is this Tow and Go garage and car wash because he has a lot of smart points to drive over (so that the cars what to say) and is very nice on its own, without additional other sets.
But of course there are also more sets that I want to look at with you.
The Toot Toot Cars (and also Choo Choo train tracks) are kind of the first for me train track or race track for your child.
All pieces are super over-sized and sturdy for a toddler to enjoy building with. So it's fun from baby to toddler where they can do more and more with it themselves and let their imagination go, until they are ready for a real train set or toy racetrack.
Let's first look at the nicest sets, then I will delve deeper into each of these choices, and we will also take a closer look at the Vtech brand:

VTech Toot-Toot Car Garage
- The car makes noise at different points on the track
- The garage also makes noise itself
- Nice car wash
- More fun when you have more Toet Toet Cars track pieces and cars
The Vtech Toet Toet Auto's Garage is 66 cm x 75 cm x 45 cm in size with 2 floors in bright colors.
There is one small car, a tow truck (of course) ready to help others and repair them in the garage.
While it's a very nice set on its own, it gets more fun if you also have some road sections to lead to the garage like the extra road sections further down the list.
But, it's the Toot Toot Cars set that is also the most fun on its own, because a lot is already happening in the garage.
Plus you can easily find others cars suits to play with on the slide and to repair.
The garage itself can also make noise by pushing the buttons and there is one tow truck that triggers songs, phrases and fun sound effects when it crosses one of the garage's 9 SmartPoints.
The car wash is a very nice addition where the car bubbles when it is on it, and the garage theme is always very appealing.
If you want to start somewhere with Toet Toet Cars, then I would buy this one first.
VTech Save the Day Fire Station
- Combination of fire with the talking car is a lot of fun
- Add a few road pieces
- Fireman's pole works well
- Fire is in the way and very loose
- Accessories on the building feel cheap
If someone needs to be rescued, the fire brigade is always ready. This, plus the nice fires on the race track, make this the nicest emergency services set Vtech.
When the fire engine drives over it, the fires collapse with a fire brigade sprayer with water on the other side. Thus the fire is “just really extinguished”.
There is also a fire on top of the barracks that can be pushed down when it is extinguished and there are plenty of smart places to drive over for a nice sense of fun. auto, such as through the swinging doors of the house.
From above the auto jump onto the spiral platform and slide down (kind of like a fireman's pole, but on a platform), and the auto out again at a rapid pace.
It's one of the largest sets on this list, but a lot easier to assemble than, say, the Roadmasters train:
There are not only 5 pieces so it is really just to connect the different parts of the building.
The lights on the track are a nice idea, but it makes driving uphill auto impossible. They can only tilt in one direction to be “extinguished”.
That is difficult for a toddler to understand, so in the end we almost always have it off.
I myself am more a fan of the garage than the barracks, purely because more can be done with the elevator and built-in sounds.
The barracks has no sounds of its own, only the smart points that make the auto is going to sing.
All in all a very nice set to play with on its own or to add to your road network.
Best road addition: Vtech Go Go Dasher street and bridge set
This set itself is not very nice, because there are none cars and it is not really a large set.
But it is one of the nicest additions when you want to do more with the courts, for example if you already have one or two playsets.
You will find that you always lack the ways to really make something fun, and this one is a great purchase.
The cars can drive up because the roads can be on a bridge, and it's actually one of the few expansion sets that has this.
Nice to go up and then slide down again, towards the garage for example!

A very nice playset to start with. It is a train set where you can build the track yourself, but then for smaller children who are not yet ready to build a "real" model train set.
All pieces and the train are nice and big so that your toddler or toddler can get started without danger and the plastic is of course nice and soft, so you can let them play yourself.
The only pity is that there is not much included, in one set there is a train without anything, and the other variant is sometimes also without a train with only the train tracks, so you have to pay attention to whether there is something there.
To really make it a bit fun you might want to look for a wagon or something else, although your other Toot Toot cars can also just ride on them, even if they are not a train.
Check availability hereMost comprehensive Vtech Go Go Smart Wheels Train set: Roadmaster Train Station
If you're looking for a package that includes a full train, plus a ton of fun activities, the Roadmaster train set is one I would recommend.
Plus, you can perfectly combine the train tracks of the Choo Choo set.
With “wacky” train tracks where the train has to look out to, to a cool bridge where they can quickly whiz down and a spiral on the other side, this makes a set that is also really fun to go over with the train.
The nice thing about the set is that the train can drive itself.
It has two positions, or actually three:
- from
- only sounds
- drives himself and makes noises
When the train gets onto the rails at a smart point, it stops for a moment and starts talking. So you can do the activity there.
For example, dropping a barrel from the building on top of the station:
Or downstairs the train stops for a moment so that you can deliver the barrel by tipping the loading tray with the scoop:
The bridge can tilt so that the train can ride on it from above and below, and there is even a nice crane that can pick up the tray of the wagon.
It takes a while to put it together, but here I have included exactly how it should be done, plus I show you what this set can do:
A very nice complete set that you can buy for just a little more than the budget choice.

Best Vtech Go Go construction car: Forklift truck
If you then buy a separate car for that, then I recommend this forklift.
A great construction auto which can also make noise, even when it drives over the smart points on the different tracks, but as you guessed it, it has a fork.
Perfect to use it for more fantasy play, or to open its own barriers :)
Check availability hereBest Vtech Go Go Race: Press & Go Monster Truck Rally
A great fun set if your child likes racing, and / or Monster Trucks keeps.
There are a few nice pieces, such as ramps and a large platform to dive from:
There is also a launch station, which is where it gets its name Press & Go. When you hit the button (hard) you become auto launched.
For example, he can shoot across the track over one of the ramps of the Monster Truck track to land on the other side.
But the best thing about the track is that it is actually mainly road sections. This makes it a fun set to start with.
You can build it as you want and thus stimulate the creativity of your toddler:
And many of the other sets have little or no weight. For example, you can connect the Toet Toet Garage, which I like the most to play with, to the roads because it doesn't have one of its own.
For example, the Monster Truck can go straight to the garage after a crash, or to the launderette after all the mud on the track!
Furthermore, it is also very easy to assemble:
A very nice complete set to give your child what they can use for a while.

The Vtech Toot Toot planes (more toy airplanes here) are perhaps just as fun as the cars, and this airport set is super extensive!
This set comes with a lot of roads, just like the Monster Truck set, so you can also adjust some yourself, and combine them more easily with other sets.
As with the garage, which I actually like the best set, there are no roads so that is really just the building itself.
At this airport you can do everything with the small plane / car, such as refueling at the smart point so that it starts talking:
And of course being launched on the cloud to circle down at a speed and slide down the slide:
A nice set that your child can entertain for a while.

The Go Go cars have been a household name for parents and children in the Netherlands and all over the world for 10 years.
Apparently there are quite a few fans of these cars and accompanying playsets. That's why Go Go now even has its own TV series.
What does the VTech Go Go Smart Wheels collection look like?
Go Go has expanded its collection so much that there are more than 100 toys on the market.
All cars have their own name, which is one of the reasons why they are so attractive to children.
