Interactive Race Car Beds

This Hot Wheels Race Car Bed Has a Built-in Toy Car Track

— August 23, 2015 — Life-Stages
The 'Hot Wheels Toddler to Twin Race Car Bed' is an imaginative piece of bedroom furniture that features a built-in racetrack running along both of the sides, turning your child's sleeping space into a giant interactive toy.

The racetrack along each side also features connectors at each end that allow children to extend the race track further from the bed, making the experience even more customizable with additional Hot Wheels playsets. Adding to the fun, mock air intakes on each side can be used for a bedside table, a spoiler at the rear can store additional toy cars and the front lights have working LED lights that can be switched on or off.

Made by Step2, the race care bed is also designed to be further adaptable as your child ages, and can fit both a crib or twin size bed as your child's sleeping arrangement change over time.
