A taxi dropping off passengers among the stars: that's the idea behind the Space Taxi from Djeco's Crazy Motors series. This metal space vehicle is shaped like a flying saucer, with futuristic lights, shiny metallic paint, and plastic details that make it look like something from a movie set. Behind the joystick sits a pilot, fixed in the craft, ready to dodge asteroids and land on any planet.
For a child, this is primarily a compact, sturdy car that feels nice in the hand. The metal gives it weight, the suspension absorbs the jump from table to carpet, and it rolls just as smoothly across the kitchen table as it does on a wooden car track. But this toy car rarely just drives from A to B: it immediately comes with a story, about passengers, missions, and star systems. Exactly the kind of toy that keeps a child entertained for an hour without the need for batteries.
The Space Taxi is one of the most distinctive vehicles in Crazy Motors, a series that also includes racing monsters, emergency services, and a tow truck. Each vehicle has its own driver and its own character, so the fleet naturally grows. And it's small enough to give as a birthday gift or put in a shoe when the season calls for it.
