Really no idea the best forum to post this, but here goes.

My 15 month baby has this toy flip car.

It runs on 4 AA batteries, and all you do is turn it on, and it goes until it hits a wall or similar object, flips over then drives the other way, repeat, until it eventually gets stuck somewhere.

It isnt remote controlled - hes only 15 months old, you literally just turn it on at the switch.

The one hes got has some bad connections and it starting to play up, its also probably 10 years old if not more.

I want to get him a replacement and maybe I am not putting in the correct search terms but I cannot find anything like it???

I dont really care what colour, size etc, ideally if it runs off AA batteries, again not essential, but everything I find is RC, hes too young for RC.

Below is an image of what the thing looks like (not exact same) just to give a rough idea.

Any ideas?

If it's just a bad connection isn't it possible to open it up and do a bit of soldering to fix it?

Or is it one of those toys were they plastic welded it together rather than used a handful of screws.
