Questions you’ve always wanted to ask (aka FAQs)

We do 5 sizes of party so we are sure to offer one that fits closely with your requirement. In general we recommend a ratio of between 3 or 4 kids to 1 Jeep, with 3 being more time on the Jeeps per child than 4.

If you want to keep the party small and intimate – then the choice is easy – go for the small party. Up to 16 kids we recommend the 4 Jeep Small party. Whilst there is nothing stopping you from booking more Jeeps to give them more time on the Jeeps, there comes a point where children’s attention drops if they have too much of a good thing, so more (jeeps) is not always better.

If you are in the low 20s then there’s no need for anything bigger than the Standard size party – but if you are in the mid 20s it may be worth considering the large 6 Jeep party.

High 20s to low 30s, add an optional extra Jeep to a Large party to make 7 Jeeps.

Mid 30s, an 8 Jeep Supersize (but you will need the extra space for the track).

It all boils down to budget and SPACE available, and whether you have extra activities such as a bouncy castle (select with care). The thing to consider is that during the party we have a progression of 4 driving exercises to get through plus the photo and finale at the end (where else would it be?), so with each ‘go’ taking 3 mins plus changeover time means the more children, the less likelihood that they will all get a chance to drive all the different tasks. That’s not to say they won’t all get lots of goes in the jeeps, but it is a question of mathematics!

Our Jeeps are far from ‘off the shelf’. We have completely customised them so that they many are now 24v and have computerised controllers inside that enable us to change such things as top speed, rate of acceleration, braking efficiency, maximum current (good for slopes and bumps) – all by pre-programming them with our laptop. We also have a dial under the bonnet so we can alter the speed by miniscule amounts – to suit the drivers ability level – meaning the younger drivers would go a bit slower than the older ones, so its exciting whatever the age! Our jeeps also are fitted with remote controls, so we are also able to stop a jeep from wherever we are standing – and also change the speed! Being able to be so precise with the speed is something no-one else offers – and makes such a difference to the parties.

We don’t put a floor covering down as in general we don’t need to! As with much of the Jeeps, we have modified the wheels too – so that where they meet the floor – instead of hard plastic they have a soft velvety finish. Of course when we’re doing outside events we remove the soft finish and put on a rugged one – a bit like wearing wellies! So whether the floor is a brand new sprung wood one, a tiled one or one made of marble – we’re confident that no harm will come to it if the drivers obey the instructions! We have even done a party in the ballroom of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, where Queen Elizabeth II was taught to ballroom dance!

A caveat though.  We are very hot on getting the kids to take their feet off the pedals when they stop at an obstacle. This is because if they sit stationary with their wheels spinning, the friction is bound to cause a small mark, no matter how soft the surface. To that end, if a child repeatedly ‘drives on’ after numerous repeated instructions to take their foot off the pedal, we reserve the right to ask them sit out for a turn or two.
