The PAW Patrol Air Patroller Flies Straight to your Heart!


   

Spin Master has recently added another great toy to their PAW Patrol line up! 

The PAW Patrol Air Patroller is a 2-in-1 rescue mission vehicle which goes from plane mode, to helicopter mode, simply by changing the direction of the engines. It has real working lights, and also has aircraft sounds that change based on which mode it's in. It also has propellers on each side which you can manually spin. Included with the Air Patroller is Robo Pup! Quite simply, the toy just wouldn't be complete without its pilot after all.

On the top, it has a carrying handle which allows greater manoeuverability for little hands. The handle is also particularly helpful when you bring it in for landing onto the ground, or on top of the PAW Patroller truck. Spin Master was smart, and knew exactly what they were doing when designing these toys. The Air Patroller will fit right into custom slots on top of the PAW Patroller truck so that it's secure when you need to utilize the Paw Patroller to transport the aircraft. 

Inside its cockpit, Robo Pup has a predetermined area that will secure him when in use. There is space for Ryder, or one other lucky pup, to be the co-pilot. In the cargo bay, you can fit up to 4 other pups to bring with you on your mission. For lights and sounds, simply depress the button on top of the plane.

The Air Patroller is designed for kids approximately 3-5 years of age, and weighs about a pound from what I can tell. 

Overall this toy is cool! The kids love it. My 3 year old in particular plays with it a fair bit, creating quite a few imaginary scenarios.  I love that you can incorporate this toy with others from the PAW patrol series, or simply play with it on its own. 

We did find the cargo bay to be a bit tough to open at first. After using it a few times, it has loosened up a bit, making it much easier to access. My oldest son said it would be nice if the batteries also made the propellers turn. While this may be true, we as parents, know that having that feature would drain batteries real quick! 

Speaking of batteries, they are included with this toy. It takes three LR44 batteries, which you can sometimes find at the dollar store. They can also typically be found where other regular household batteries are sold. 

The PAW Patrol Air Patroller is currently available at most toy vendors. It retails in the U.S. for approximately $35, and in Canada for approximately $50. 

Now, I'm off to the ruff-ruff rescue!
