Rocking back to school

September has long-been the crazed month of last-minute dashes to the shops for back-to-school supplies, and that weary thought of returning to the classroom. Still, the level of stress in parents has dramatically decreased! Here we have some snazzy gizmos for little and big kids alike, that might just distract you long enough to forget about the old Monday morning routine.
Razor Turbo Jetts
Do you feel the need? The need for speed? Then grab your helmet and strap on these bad boys to zoom off into the sunset. The Razor Turbo Jetts are just as cool as their name, as these motorised heel wheels will give your trainers the ultimate level-up.
These aren’t your regular skates, as they come packed with an 80-watt motor, ready to get you gliding. The motor attaches onto one of the fittings and, using some nifty pressure-sensitive power control system, helps you ride comfortably. It then takes you on a spin, with the speed getting up to 10 miles an hour as you show off your skills.
The motor is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which gives you up to 30 minutes to master your skating moves. It even has a quick-release clip that makes it easier to remove for charging. These motorised wheels will fit any type of trainer (UK size 11 youth to adult) and are ideal for children ages 9 and up (so adults be warned!). At £129.99, see if you can catch them in time.
X Rocker Sentinel
If you prefer to keep your activities indoors, then you’re going to prefer something a bit cosier. Now, with the X Rocker Sentinel – which also sounds like it could be a really bad rock band – you can immerse yourself in your gaming adventures. Packed with a 4.1. Audio system and tri motor vibration feedback, this gaming chair is compatible with all modern consoles, and is easily foldable, making it a great addition to your living space.
The amazing audio system and vibration modules really help to provide that extra realism whilst gaming or watching films, and it also has Bluetooth connectivity for your mobile or tablet.
And, not forgetting the most important part of a gaming chair – comfort, because no one wants to go fighting space aliens or stopping a zombie apocalypse with a bad back! The X Rocker is soft and durable, with a reclining platform that makes it cooler than your nan’s rocking chair. Available for £299.99.
Snuggle Pets Go – Tanner the Yorkie Puppy
A dog isn’t just for Christmas, it’s for life – but that won’t put an end to the kids constantly showing you YouTube videos of puppies and desperately pleading for one. To keep your little ones happy (and quiet), you can go for the slightly cheaper, and less excessive route, of this little robo dog; Tanner the Yorkie Puppy from Snuggle Pets Go.
Snuggle by name, and snuggly by nature, this adorable canine comes with his own lead, as he can walk and run along with his owner. Perfect for indoor and outdoor playing, this little guy can be every man’s best friend. Available for £20.Copyright © 2025 The Local Answer Limited.
