WhizRider
Engineered for children 3 to 10 years old, WhizRider has undergone rigorous crash testing and exceeds all U.S. Federal Safety Standards regulated by NHTSA. WhizRider offers major safety benefits that reduce the risk of injury: 1) Submarining. This is when a child can slide underneath the lap belt. WhizRider’s unique leg loops keep the child in the car seat and prevent submarining; 2)
Keep protection at all times. Children often move around in their seats and offset the protection of the car seat belt. WhizRider’s metal clips keep the seat belt on the legs and shoulder of the child and provide maximum protection also when the child is moving around or is falling asleep; 3) Glow in the dark. Hopping in and out of cars in the city often exposes kids to traffic risks. WhizRider glows in the dark and provides that additional safety when you are out and about in busy streets.

Spicy Dice
Spicy Dice is a new game from small game publisher Enginuity Games. Players roll the custom dice to score in 10 categories
The key to Spicy Dice is the custom dice themselves. Each die in a set of 6, which is included in each game, has a single face with red spots rather then white ones. For example. one die has the ‘1’ face in red, one dice has the “2” face in red, and so on. Anytime you roll a red number you may “FLIP” (change) it to any other number you like, OR you may keep in red for bonuses such as double score for that turn.
To help players learn the game quickly, the scorepad has a unique fold-out “Cheat Sheet” that let’s players learn quickly, and there’s a professional Learn-to-Play video on the website, plus a wealth of materials, all free.
Enginuity has also made sure that you’ll never have to buy another scorepad – customers can download print-at-home scresheets for free from the website.
Enginuity also provides free download-and-print games on its website that can be used with the Spicy Dice, which opens up a universe of varied types of play at no extra cost once a customer has purchased the game.
