This Batmobile is FAST and durable. The battery is rechargeable, and it lasts surprisingly long. My grandson is 4 years old, but I wound up buying 2, because I liked it so much. We play with them in the swimming pool, because the thing actually floats. The remote pairs with the first batmoble it detects, so make sure you turn on 1 at a time with the remote control, so each remote can pair with its own Batmobile. You can thank me later for recommending this thing. By the way, if you want to buy this as a Christmas gift, I suggest you buy one now. I don't think they will have enough to meet the demand at Christmas time. P.S. this Batmobile is bigger than you think!
