Kota the dinosaur was released earlier this year by Playskool. Kota is a large triceratops robot pet for children preschool age, or from ages 3 to 6 years old. Kota the dinosaur is bound to be one of the more popular gifts for children this Christmas season, but it is not the perfect gift for everyone. Here are the pros and cons in this review on Kota My Triceratops.
Cons:
Maxi Cosi Stroller
1. Price.
Kota is a good value for the money. He is able to interact with your children through his many sensors and he is a large and durable. But with an MSRP of 9, this dinosaur pet will be outside of the budget of some families. Faced with possible unemployment or other economic difficulties, some families are opting to buy smaller, less expensive gifts for their children.
2. Large size.
Kota the Triceratops dinosaur is large, and that is part of the appeal. But this toy is over 2.5 feet tall and weighs over 30 pounds. Not all homes will have the room for this toy. If you live in a smaller home or apartment, you might want to pass on Kota the dinosaur.
Pros:
1. Fun
Preschool kids will love Kota, and even older kids will be intrigued by their younger sibling's dinosaur. He is a like-like and life-size baby dinosaur. He can move his eyes, head, mouth, horn, and tail and will make laughing and roaring sounds. He responds to both voice and touch. Younger children will get a kick out of interacting with Kota the Triceratops.
2. Large size.
When reviewing Kota, it was decided that some cons could also be a pro. Kota is large enough for children to sit on (up to sixty pounds). They can bounce on his back while listening to one of four jungle adventure beats. And as an added bonus for parents, there is a volume control switch.
3. Soft and durable
So many of the robots that are on the market are plastic and metal. Kota comes with a furry hide that looks scaly but in reality is soft to the touch. This is one thing that makes this dinosaur pet appealing to the preschool age. Also, it is put out by the Playskool division of Hasbro, which is known for making durable toys. Your child will be able to climb on Kota the dinosaur and pull on his horns without harming him.
Overall, Kota my Triceratops is a popular toy that can provide hours of entertainment for preschoolers. If price and space aren't a concern, Kota the dinosaur is a good value for the money.
