Zoomer Chomplingz, Hyjinx Interactive Dinosaur

The Zoomer Chomplingz - Hyjinx Interactive Dinosaur was a hit with my 3 year old and 5 year old grandsons right out of the box! Although the boys were a little disappointed at first that he didn't move on his own, Hyjinx has several different fun modes that more than made up for the initial disappointment. The wheels on the bottom of his feet allowed them to move him around as he chomps. The dinosaur is colorful, durable, well made, user friendly and easy to operate. Their favorite thing is the farting sound he makes when you push his tail down. You can pull his tail or push the dino for further sound effects. There is also a guard mode in which the Chomplingz will roar if there is movement detected near an object. He has several different modes that he can go into. He can play catch, he can sound warp and he can play games. The best game mode he can go into is Hot Hands. The boys love this mode, it is where he opens his mouth and allows you to put your finger in. Then he either bites down or pretends to bite down. If you move your finger before he chomps you win, but if he tricks you and you move your finger he wins. Cons: Requires three AAA batteries that are not included. The Zoomer Chomplingz does not roll well on carpet. There is no way to adjust the volume and he tends to be a little loud. It is top heavy and easily tips over. Overall, I think the Chomplingz is a great toy and I would recommend it for any young child.

This is actually for kids 5 & up. My son is four but I still feel like he enjoys playing with it even if he doesn't understand all the stuff it can do. We generally end up playing with it together. Batteries (3 AAA) are not included for starters. We received the 'Hyjinx' Chomplingz. It comes with a bone that you can toss in its mouth basically playing catch. The bone however is pretty small so my son is constantly losing it. I wish there was a way to attach it to the toy somehow so we could keep track of it. When you pull its tail, it farts which is hilarious. It also clucks like a chicken. It has sensors in the nostrils that pick up movements. The eyes light up a couple of colors which is supposed to indicate what mode the toy is in which I think is pretty clever design. When my son pushes it around the dinosaur roars and chomps which he enjoys immensely. My son also plays hot hands with the toy. Basically putting his hands in the mouth and trying to remove them fast enough before it closes it. He loves it! I'm very satisfied with this toy and overall I would recommend it.
