My family received this item to facilitate this Razor Crazy Cart Shift review. All opinions are my own.
As soon as everything shut down in March, it became clear that we were going to have to find new ways of spending time together. Instead of spending our weekends at museums or playgrounds, we had to find ways to get the kids engaged and moving- but safely.
One of the ways we were able to do that is by spending lots of time outside together. Summer came eventually and with it, extreme heat- but now that fall is here, we’re getting ready to start basically living outside again!
Razor was kind enough to send us the Razor Crazy Cart Shift and it very quickly became our family’s favorite thing of the spring! We started visiting the empty parking lots by our house on a daily basis to drive it around. Sometimes the kids would race- car vs. runner- and sometimes they’d do cool tricks. While it’s been too hot to use it for a couple months, the kids have been asking all the time when it’d be time to use it again- and that time is just about here!
What Is Razor Crazy Cart Shift?
The Razor Crazy Cart Shift is a motorized cart that kids can ride on.
With the all new Crazy Cart® Shift™ younger kids can drive, spin, and drift like never before! Designed to be fun for riders of all skill-levels, the Crazy Cart Shift starts as a fun spin session and grows into an unparalleled drifting experience as riders become more familiar with the controls.
It goes up to 8mph on the High setting {and 2.5 mph on low} and is recommended for ages 6+.
Who is Razor Crazy Cart Shift good for?
Razor Crazy Cart Shift is recommended for kids 6+ and I definitely agree with that. Our kids are 6 and 11 and this was perfect for both of them- Zac likes riding it on low and Shane uses it on High.
There’s a hidden switch that lets the parent decide the speed, so if you have a little one who isn’t quite ready for high speed- but thinks they are- you can make sure it stays on low.
The cart does go pretty fast on high and is definitely fun enough for older kids, and the low setting is slow enough to not be scary for younger kids.
What did we think?
The Kids
Zac loves doing tricks with the cart, and came up with lots of fun challenges to do while driving it! {I think we might need to try an obstacle course soon!} He thinks it goes just the right speed when it’s on low, and loves to take it for a spin!
Shane loves it too, even though he’s almost too old for it. He’s almost as tall as me now so he has to fold his legs quite a bit to fit on it, but he’s still comfortable riding it. And despite his size, when it’s on the high setting it still goes really fast with him on it! He loves drifting and spinning the most but likes just driving it around, too.
Mom’s Thoughts
There are so many things that I love about this cart. From the long {really, really long} battery life to it’s lightweight frame to how much FUN the kids have on it! This is one of my favorite things that we’ve ever had and it’s been SO great during quarantine as a way to get the kids out and active in a safe manner. All we need to use this is a street or an empty parking lot, some helmets, and the cart!

Family Activity Ideas from Razor
Razor was kind enough to share some more family fun ideas if you’re starting to look for more ways to have fun with your kids this fall. Most of these activities can be done inside or outside!
- Simon Says – This classic game gets an indoor twist with commands like “Simon says hop to your pillow and back,” “Simon Says run up the stairs and back,” and “Simon Says bring me a spoon”
- Dance Party – Nothing gets kids going like a dance party! Pick a favorite playlist and crank up the jams! Learn a new move on YouTube or try a round of freeze dance, pausing your music and holding statue-still til it starts up again (Alexa is a great freeze dance partner!)
- Tape Shapes – Clear some space on a non-carpeted floor and use painter’s tape to make large triangles, rectangles, squares, and circles on the floor. Assign each child a starting space, then call moves like “crab walk to the circle,” “crawl to the square,” or “jump backwards to the rectangle.”
- Balloon Ball – Blow up some balloons, toss a sheet over two chairs to make a “net”, and serve up a round of indoor balloon volleyball – just don’t let that balloon touch the floor!
- Laundry Basketball – If your kids are bonkers for basketball, empty out a laundry basket and take turns tossing a Nerf ball into the basket, backing up two steps each time you score. See who can shoot from the farthest distance!
- Soda Bottle Bowling – Dig some empty soda or water bottles out of the recycling and set up an indoor bowling alley in your hallway. Roll a soft ball toward your targets and see who can knock down the most “pins” and reset them the fastest.
- Long Jump – Using painter’s tape, lay six 2-foot strips, each about a foot apart. Assign a starting spot and see who can jump the farthest!
- Potato Pass – Kids waddle their way toward a bucket or bowl – with a potato between their knees – and see who can drop it in first in this half-baked indoor game! Make it tricky by placing the bucket in another room, forcing turns or steps along the way.
- Be My Mirror – Pair up your kids and assign a starter to make a series of moves while their partner tries to mirror what they’re doing. Get through the series and switch roles – miss one and begin again!
- Hula Hoop Marathon – Grab a hoop and set the timer to see who can last the longest. Expert “hoopers” can try swiveling their hula hoops on their necks, arms, and ankles.
