3) Zoomer Dino
CHECK PRICE ON AMAZON
First up is this awesome robot dinosaur toy from Zoomer. Below is my own remote control dinosaur toy that I have named Terror Rex! It is a really cool toy and I have seen kids engaged with it for hours.
Your children get to tame this little guy. If they are getting bored with their old robot dinosaur, this one will breathe a little of that spark back into their imaginations. While he may look a little fierce, he really just wants to be petted and loved.
Zoomer Dino (check price on Amazon) balances on two wheels and will go anywhere that they let him. Those wheels make him pretty quick. He can go back and forth, and even spin around if he’s surprised. He’ll also dance and play tag.
Like all Zoomer robotic toys, its main attraction lies in its ability to learn new commands and execute new actions. I have fun watching it explore and do all sorts of crazy things like roar, burp and fart. It can even laugh at itself! Its algorithm has been designed such as to make it a quick learner, therefore kids really appreciate such a toy that can mimic their actions.
Another fun fact about Zoomer’s dinosaur toy is its ability to keep itself balanced. It can even pick itself up if it topples forward. However, if it falls sideways, you will need to set it straight yourself.
The walking action is smooth, unlike the cheaper alternatives that don’t walk very well. For that, I think its higher price is justified as it is just a better quality toy all around.
One thing you should note is that you should read the instructions. That helps me get all mileage out of this cool dinosaur toy. If not, you might miss some of the cool things that Terror Rex can do which I have mentioned.
However, there is a certain flaw that I hope can be corrected in the next version. The battery life is a bit limited. Each charge lasts up to 40 minutes after an hour of charging so kids might get impatient. To know that the toy is fully charged up, look at its eyes. Green means it is ready to go!
His eyes will let your children know what he’s in the mood for. Blue eyes means that he sees them. His eyes are purple when he’s learning, and they turn red when he’s mad. And, when kids pat him on the nose, they turn green, and he almost gives them a little dino-smile.
When it’s time for some real action, kids can grab his tail to make him roar and chomp his teeth.
What we like:
- His eyes change color depending on his mood. So, kids always know whether he wants to play or rough-house.
- He’ll almost become a pet for kids as they train him to do different tricks.
Watch out for:
- It’s not recommended for children younger than three.

6. WowWee Roboraptor X
Roboraptor was one of the very first remote controlled robotic dinosaurs to incorporate artificial intelligence and realistic biomorphic motion and manufacturers Wowwee Robotics have given him a major upgrade and overhaul with all the model X upgrade. Roboraptor measures 32 inches from nose to tail, attributes remote control or loose roam modes and may even be controlled by your smart device as a result of its included infra red dongle. The ferocious looking and intelligent robot dinosaur ever made, buy Roboraptor X now, before he comes searching for you.
One of the most obvious differences between the Zoomer version and this is the speed at which the toy moves. As you can see from the images, the Wow Wee version has actual legs instead of wheels, so it moves slowly. However, it is a more realistic walk and depending on what your kid likes, there is a difference in the basic movement for the two dinosaur toys.
Regarding intelligence, I will say the Zoomer has a slight edge in terms of the commands and actions it follows. However, don’t let that take anything away from the Wow Wee. I played it for some time and its range of actions is still impressive. For any 6-year-old and above kid, it should be entertaining enough for hours.
A cool thing about the Wow Wee remote control toy is that it comes with two types of remote control. The first is a standard remote control, and the other can connect to your smartphone allowing your child to control their dinosaur with their phone or tablet.
Unlike the Zoomer, the Woo Wee dinosaur toy is not rechargeable as normal batteries power it.
Overall, it is cool robot dinosaur toy and should appeal to kids who love big toys.
Positives
- Realistic legs and walk
- Two remote controls
- Battery powered so no need to charge frequently
- 32 inches long
- Three distinct moods
- Compatible with iOS and Android devices
- LR44 batteries included
