Home Bargains are letting Cars 2 inflatable chairs zoom off their shelves for £3.99 instead of £8.99 which, I think, is a bit of a bargain.

Kids love their own special furniture, things that only they can sit on and use because it's too small for us grown ups.  Inflatable chairs are, somehow, much more fun than normal chairs and won't spill polystyrene beads all over the place if inquisitive fingers manage to get inside a bean bag chair.

There's not a great deal I can tell you about this Cars 2 inflatable chair - it's a chair that inflates and can be sat on, there's really nothing more complicated about it than that.

It can be used inside and outside, measures 54 x 47 x 40cm and has a maximum user weight of 40kg, which is lots even for older children.

Home Bargains have a sliding scale of charges for delivery starting at 50 pence for small parcels and increasing to £2.99 for medium parcels - I can't imagine it will be categorised as being larger than that - or you can, if you have a local Home Bargains, collect your Cars 2 inflatable chair for free.

I’m sure you’ve noticed that Cars 2 is the new big thing this year and Disney are leading the way in Back To School merchandising. Of course, when they sent us a basket of Cars 2 goodies, we had a good rummage through, before sending them out to Tessa, PlayPennies mum to little Jack.

We sent Jack (or Tessa, really) the Cars 2 Backpack, which features a full panel artwork of Lightning McQueen and other film favourites. It has a large interior with front zip pockets, side mesh pockets and adjustable shoulder straps.

Tessa had pretty mixed feelings on the Cars 2 Backpack. She felt that it was pretty good quality, with “a huge plastic image on the front and adjustable straps on the back.”

She didn’t like that it is only a single compartment – she said it’s a bit rubbish, actually, “especially when kids throw all sort of things into them.”

There are two pockets on either side of the zip which Tessa thought was helpful. “The bag is sealed with a zip and the pockets with Velcro.”

Tessa has been using the bag for three weeks now, and has put it through its paces. The good things about it are that it is dark in colour, which Tessa feels is a good thing, as it means you don’t notice the usual scuff marks and damage from regular wear and tear.

In case you don't have a small child, there's a new Cars movie out. Disney Pixar Cars 2 sees Lightening MacQueen in the World Grand Prix and Mater mixed up in a spy ring.

Woolworths sent us a few Cars 2 toys to review. I was pretty keen to see what the new stuff for the next movie was like. Seeing as to how I (and many, many other parents) will be paying for it.

I am an expert on Cars. I know all the names of all the cars, and can pretty much recite the dialogue of the first Cars movie. My son is six, which as most parents know, means I've had four years now worth of repeated watching of Cars.

We also have a large amount of the merchandise. Much of which is pretty flimsy, and not easy to use. Some of it doesn't actually work as it should. In fact I cringe every time my son puts it on his birthday/Christmas list. Yet despite the disappointments they remain his most treasured toys.

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but there’s s new Cars movie out. I know – it’s everywhere, and everyone seems to be cashing in on it! Argos is no exception, and until the end of August, they have a three for two offer on all Disney Cars items, with the cheapest item being free.

I think that everything you’ve found in Toy Story 3 over the last year, you’ll now find in Cars 2 – which is a bit costly if your little one switches allegiances here!

There’s an endless list of goodies, from large Cars 2 LEGO sets to the Mater Bubble Toy to the online exclusive Cars 2 outdoor play tent.

You’ll find an impressive range of furniture, starting from £4.26 for a night light, to a Graco Junior Maxi Plus car seat for £59.99. In between that price range, you’ll find bedding, linen, book shelves and plenty more.

There’s a small selection of items that are exclusive to Argos, and a fairly large selection of online exclusive offers.

I'm no psychic, but I think we'll be talking about Cars 2 for a while, yet.

I tested it out on a range of Disney Pixar Cars merchandise. Specifically a pair of shorts with t-shirt, priced at £10, a pair of pyjamas, also Cars 2, for £18 and a Cars 2 costume for £22. I probably won't go ahead and buy all these though. I've not been thrilled with the quality of the clothing I've bought from Disney in the past.

The t-shirts have all worn through around the tag where it is sewn into the back of the t-shirt, and in key stress areas such as under the arms. Disappointing when an item costs this much.

I do like their pyjamas though. I have PJs bought when my son was 2 years old. He is now six, and I've cut the arms back on the tops. With the trousers now the length of shorts, they make great summer PJs. Plus, they're not really that faded, and there's hardly any wear on them.

I've recently bought two more pairs of PJs from them. I figure that £18 spread out over 4 years is pretty good value. Plus the quality is good enough that he wears them out as t-shirts too, and the trousers have even become light-weight joggers for warmer weather!
