VTech Switch & Go Dinos Turbo Bronco the RC Triceratops Review and Giveaway

November 25, 2014 by Jenni 1,488 Comments

Disclosure: We received a VTech Switch & Go Dinos Turbo Bronco the RC Triceratops for free in exchange for a review. All opinions are 100% our own.

Switch & Go Dinos Turbo Bronco the RC Triceratops

Over the past couple of years, our son has fallen in love with the VTech Switch & Go Dinos. He’s had a few of them, and most recently VTech sent him a Turbo Bronco the RC Triceratops! He’s so excited to have a remote control dino!!

VTech® Switch & Go Dinos® Turbo Bronco the RC Triceratops™ (Ages 3-8 years, MSRP: $44.99)

  • Bronco the RC Triceratops, the first dynamic remote control dino from Switch & Go Dinos Turbo, transforms from a fierce Triceratops to a sleek race car with the push of a button on his remote control!
  • Use the remote control to move forward, backward, left and right in both vehicle and dino modes. Then charge the turbo boost lever to give him a burst of speed!
  • Press the buttons on the remote to turn on his headlights, hear realistic sound effects and learn cool dino facts.
  • Bronco’s LCD screen displays cool customizable dinosaur eyes and driver animations, and kids can choose from four different styles.

This little guy runs great on carpet in Eli’s bedroom but he really enjoys playing with it on the hardwood floors, because it goes a little faster. The dogs do NOT know what to think about Bronco, at all! It’s so fun to watch the dogs try to play too. I really love that the dino transforms with the remote control with just the push of a button. With some of the other dinos’ that Eli’s had, it’s been kind of difficult at first to figure out how to get them from car mode, to dino mode.

Eli really loves the turbo boost lever feature. He loves getting it to go faster! For me, I’ve always thought it was awesome that the Switch & Go Dino’s spoke and that they gave facts about dinosaurs. It’s a great feature for learning while playing. The best part yet, is that we’ve had these dino’s for awhile and they’re are virtually indestructable! I have NO idea how many times they’ve been dropped on hard wood floors or stomped on by my 2 dogs.

If you’re learning for a fun new toy as a Christmas gift idea, this is a great option! Make sure to check VTech Switch & Go Dinos website out and also visit them on Twitter and Facebook!

Top 5 Reasons Moms Need a Video Baby Monitor #VTechSafeandSound

June 21, 2014 by 1,189 Comments

I received a #VTechSafeandSound video baby monitor from VTech and Mom it Forward to review here on the blog! All opinions are my own, and let me tell you…I am in love with it!

#VtechSafeandSound video baby monitor

Check out the VTech Safe&Sound Video Baby Monitor!

Being able to keep all eyes on 3 kids 24/7 is tough. Especially when they all have a mind of their own and I’m trying to cook, clean, or even just go to the bathroom by myself for 2 minutes. Forget trying to take a shower alone! Since I don’t literally have eyes in the back of my head, I’ve always depended on a baby monitor. I had the old school ones, until very recently!

I am in LOVE with the VTech Safe&Sound Pan and Tilt video baby monitor! This baby ROCKS my SOCKS! I’m so grateful that I have the chance to have one because it’s saving my sanity and it allows me to unwrap these children from around my legs ALL day long!

#VtechSafeandSound Video Baby Monitor

1. Monitor kids that share a bedroom
2. Talk-back intercom (allows baby to hear your voice in the middle of the night)
One awesome feature is that the camera zooms up to 2x and tilts 124 degrees up and down so I can see both of the younger kids who share a bedroom. I can see the baby in his crib and then, pan the room up to 270 degrees side-to-side so I can see kiddo #2 in his toddler bed!

The talk option is probably my favorite feature because the 2 year old loves to sing himself to sleep. If he wakes up in the middle of the night, momma can sing him back to sleep. Ohh, and I can keep an eye on the room temperature too!! How awesome is that?!

#VtechSafeandSound video baby monitor

3. Monitor playtime without constantly checking in
4. Keep an eye on baby while you’re outside

Momma can enjoy some quiet TV time alone now! The kids can play in their room and I don’t have to get up 15 times to check in on them. I can see them from my new handy dandy monitor. Oh, and my oldest 2 and I can go outside to play while the baby is napping and I can still see and hear him. It makes a momma feel better to know she can see her baby 24 hours a day!

#VtechSafeandSound Video Baby monitor

5. Vibrating Sound Alert (doesn’t wake up the whole house)
At bedtime, when it’s peaceful and quiet – I can mute the video baby monitor and and still be alerted to noise levels in the kids’ room with the vibrating sound alert. I love that because I can tell there’s noise going on yet it won’t wake daddy up! 5am comes awful early for him!

We’ve always been huge fans of Vtech. Now we can add the VTech Safe&Sound video monitor to the list of things we love! If you’re looking for a new baby monitor or buying one as a gift, I highly recommend this one!! One other thing I hadn’t mentioned. You can add up to 4 cameras and monitor all 4 from the same video monitor! That’s perfect for large families!

August 25, 2013 by Jenni 973 Comments

eli playing with dino


We have always been big fans of VTech products at our house. Our little guy loves their toys and he is currently fascinated with dinosaurs so he loves the new Switch & Go Dinos! These dudes transform from dinosaurs into vehicles with just a few simple moves. I love to watch him play with them. Not only is he fascinated with dinos, but he loves anything electronic. These Switch & Go Dinos feature high quality electronics! They’re super collectible too and have a unique transformation feature to provide a 2-in-1 imaginative play experience!

When the Switch & Go Dinos are in dinosaur mode, the sound effects sound like real dinosaurs and also gives fun facts about that particular dinosaur. Our guy knows all of his dinosaurs, but he is still learning a little more about each one of them! There are more than 15 Switch & Go Dinos now!

Jagger the T-Rex™

Jagger is the big kid on the block! He transforms from a construction crane to a Tyrannosaurus Rex in just a few simple steps. Combined with voice recognition technology, Jagger is one of the coolest Switch & Go Dinos yet! Jagger even recognizes and responds to specific voice commands. Say “Roar with me,” and hear him roar with his voice-activated motorized jaw.

Product Review – The NEW Vtech Switch and Go Dinos

July 14, 2012 by Jenni 1,528 Comments

What little guy doesn’t love dinosaurs and cars?!  Combine them together into one singular toy and you’ve made it “little boy bliss”!  I was recently contacted with an opportunity for Eli to be given 2 of the NEW Vtech Switch and Go Dinos for review.  Well, about 2 months prior to this, he had shown a HUGE interest in dinosaurs thanks to the little TV show Dino Dan!  So when I was contacted to do this review, I was beyond happy!  We’ve always been giant Vtech toy fans anyway!

Finally, the package came and we were introduced to the Switch and Go Dinos, T-Don the Pteranodon and Tonn the Stegosaurus.  Naturally, I couldn’t get the packaging open so I had to keep them hidden from Eli until daddy got home to open them for us!  Most others wouldn’t have a problem with opening these up, but I’m a weakling and dread that kind of stuff.  (Imagine Christmas morning, ughh!)

After getting them opened up and ready to go, well…let’s just say Eli was in HOG heaven!  He loves cars and he loves dinosaurs so he was uber happy!  At first, he had a little difficulty “transforming” them but then he figured it out!  The animation on these dinos are so fun!  They have the cutest voices and say some of the cutest things!


Like I said, they’re easy for the kids to figure out and play with.  They’re VERY “kid” friendly in that they’ve each been dropped a gazillion times and they’re still in one piece.  We really can’t wait to get some of the others in the collection! If your kids love dinosaurs and cars, then these are a must have toy…plus they start out at only $15.96 at Walmart.  They make a nice gifting option for kids even when you want to spend less than $20!

Disclosure:  I have received VTech Switch & Go Dinos to facilitate my review.  No compensation was given.  All opinions are 100% my own, as always!
