Vroom! Guess what’s zooming into your little one’s heart and probably your living room? The LOL Dance Machine Car! It’s part of the LOL Surprise! Dance Dance Dance series and an echo of the Lights Glitter car that came out in 2020.
We’ve pulled together a parents’ mini-guide of 5 things you need to know about the Dance Machine Car BEFORE you buy. This car is currently retailing for around $29.88. Check the price on Amazon–and if it’s close–BUY! You’ll save time, gas, and sanity.
1. It’s a car that expands to have a play pool in the back.
The cool thing about the Dance Machine car is that it gives your little one lots of play options. On the surface, it’s an iridescent blue and purple plastic car (think updated Barbie-mobile) that holds 6 to 8 LOL tots dolls.
But…
Expand the back, and it’s a car with a pool and a dance floor. Perfect for an outdoor hot tub dance party (because we have lots of those).
2. Dance Machine car comes with 1 tots doll: Dancebot.
Dancebot is an all-new LOL doll that comes exclusively with the Dance Machine car. Your little one won’t find her in any other series.
Yes, all the packaging shows a bunch of dolls having a great mobile hot tub party, but those are YOUR little one’s hypothetical dolls. LOL Dance Machine car only comes with 1 LOL doll.
All LOL Dance Machine cars come with the SAME doll. If you buy another car, it will be the same doll inside.
Dancebot is a tots doll, the medium-sized LOL dolls. The big doll pictured is an LOL OMG, which is around the same size as a Barbie doll. If you want one of these, you’ll have to buy it separately.
Check the price of the OMG doll pictured on the box.
3. There are more than 10 real working parts.
One thing you have to love about LOL toys is that they are definitely well thought out. The Dance Machine car has so many little details that your little one will love to explore.
Here’s what we found:
- Pop-up blacklight headlights (meaning the headlights are also black lights)
- Fold-out mirrors
- Tiny working seat belts
- Adjustable seats
- Glove compartment that opens
- Clip-on cup holder in the pool
- Key chain with key that slides into the ignition
- Pull out driver’s side drawer
- Pressable stick shift
- Steering wheel that moves

Pro Tip: If you bought an LOL Dance Dance Dance doll and your little one already lost the included blacklight (or it stopped working), she can shine the headlights from the Dance Machine car onto those dolls.
4. It fits OMG dolls.
If your little one has already accumulated an OMG or two, they’ll both fit in the car for fun on the go.
Don’t know about LOL OMG dolls?
OMG stands for Outrageous Millenial Girls (of course). These big LOL dolls are about the size of Barbies and very reminiscent of Bratz dolls. They come with loads of accessories, cool stands, and lots of attitude.
OMGs are for slightly older LOL doll lovers and the car is marketed to girls age 6 to 8, so you may only need one OMG to please your little one. Alternatively, if your older girl has lots of OMGs, she may not be interested in the coupe.
5. It’s returnable if you buy from Amazon.
When a notice popped up on Amazon that this item is returnable, we were super excited! If your Dance Machine car is missing the doll, comes broken, the paint chips off (a common complaint), or whatever, apparently now you can pack it up and send it back to Amazon.
Here’s what to look for:
We don’t know how the free return works yet. There is nothing specifically mentioned about toys in the return policy either. Check out the Amazon free returns page for yourself right here: https://www.amazon.com/b?node=18726306011
