Throughout the ages, the need for speed has always been an obsession of the human race. We have constantly made and upgraded our cars, planes, boats, and bikes to go faster. This is evidently seen in the racing vehicles we have invented, which have gone faster as the years go by.

It seems that we are obsessed in making our modes of transportation faster than what they already are. There possibly may be no limit as to what we may come up with in the future. Who knows what the future may hold? The marvels we enjoy today, when it comes to speed, are beyond belief, compared to what our ancestors classified as fast.

They would have never believed that we have now breached the sound barrier. This is the same for our children’s toys. It seems our children have inherited our insatiable need to go fast, and their toys can offer just that, just a taste though.

There have been complaints that The Barbie Jammin’ Jeep Wrangler is too slow, and does not go as fast as they would want it to be. Unknown to most people, is that this is part of one of the many safety features of the jeep. The Barbie Jammin’ Jeep Wrangler comes with a safety feature, the high-speed lock out, which does not allow the vehicle to go beyond 2.5 mph.

This safety feature was designed for toddlers and beginners, ensuring they do not hurt themselves, for younger children are still not equipped with better reflexes and coordination. Since the jeep can easily go through all types of flat surfaces (like grass and pavement), and was built to drive around outdoors, it was a necessity to install this safety feature.

The high-speed lock out can easily removed, and the dual speed feature of the ride-on toy vehicle can fully be utilized, which is ideal for older children (5 to 8 years of age). Once the high-speed lock out is removed, the ride-on toy vehicle can easily cover speeds from 2.5 mph to 5.0 mph. Faster, but not beyond the safety limits, and can easily handled by their developed reflexes.

Word of caution, please observe the proper safety precautions. If you do not feel your child can handle the speed, then do not remove the high-speed lock out. If you think, your child can handle the new sense of freedom, and then by all means, remove the safety feature.

Removing the high-speed lock out will give your child a new exhilarating experience. The joy of going faster will always be in us, no matter what age. The Barbie Jammin’ Jeep Wrangler, your child owns, may not be brand new, and she might think she has outgrown the toy once she gets a little older, but removing the safety feature for younger children, will give her more options to explore.

Giving your child a taste of a little more speed will do wonders in keeping her entertained, and will nurture her desire for entertainment and exploration.
