Are they pulling back toy cars?
No but our cars roll so smoothly they don’t need it.
Where are Playforever toys made?
Ever wonder where your favourite toys are made? We've teamed up with expert toy makers in Asia who are as obsessed with toy quality as we are. We spent a few months living out there (with many sleepless nights) to find the best way to get the high-quality finish we're after. Every step of the process is carefully watched over to guarantee that each toy is flawless and hand-polished to perfection.
Do they meet international safety standards?
Yep, we're on top of our game with CPSIA certifications in the USA and EN71 in Europe so that kids around the world can enjoy endless racing fun, and parents can put their feet up and enjoy a moment of peace... sorry we can't actually guarantee that moment of peace bit.
Is it suitable / appropriate for a child ? What is the age recommendation for your product?
All of our models are suitable for children aged 3+, but a few of them, like Malibu, Viglietta, Loretino, Leadbelly and Luft are approved for car-obsessed babies aged 1+, so you can confidently start their car craze as early as 1 year old. A lot of parents enjoy a turn with our cars too (when their kids aren't looking), so enjoy, whether you're 1 or 99.
Is it safe for my child to chew on your cars?
We get that kids are curious and sometimes lick their toys. We want to assure you that this is okay (although not sure they taste all that great). All our toys are stress-tested to make sure the wheels are secure and are made with non-toxic, child-friendly materials so if they have a chew, you don't have to worry.
Yes, we have inspectors that perform batch-checks. Intertek Hong Kong takes care of our safety testing and makes sure we are EN71 and CPSIA compliant world-wide.
I want to buy a car that reminds me of a particular era or style, could you recommend me one?
Are they really indestructible?
Unlike many toys that end up as waste, our toys are built to last for generations. We believe in creating heirloom-quality toys that can be passed down (just like our own collections of toy cars from when we were kids), reducing the need for constant replacements. While they are tough, they aren't indestructible like Superman is.

Maintenance & Spare Parts
Can I get a replacement part?
At the moment we do not stock any replacement parts so we are unable to send replacement parts like tyres or axels.
Can you help me fix it?
We will try our best, please contact us here : playforevershop@playforever.co.uk
My model stopped rolling smoothly, what can I do ?
Sometimes bits of dust, sand or dirt might come inside of the toy and jam the axles.
If you can’t find anything on the axels you can try to apply a bit of oil, that usually helps. Please bear in mind if the axles are bent (sometimes from collision), it will interfere with the wheels and it might prevent them from rolling smoothly.
The decal is only on one side of the car, is this correct? Or is it a faulty model ?
Some of our models have the decal on only one side , these are the models:
Turbo
Buck
The Aeroplane wheels do not roll as smoothly as the other models, is this correct or is it a faulty model?
The aeroplane model is one of our first designs and the wheels do not roll as smoothly as the other models.
There’s a rattling noise in the car, how can I stop it ?
That usually happens if some of the internal parts got loose, for more information on how to repair it please contact us here : playforevershop@playforever.co.uk
