This garage was so easy to put together (it did not require screws or the ability to read poor assembly instructions), and the plastic is pretty solid, not flimsy. The cars are chunky enough for small toddler hands. The interactivity is just right — not too much, not too little: there are no annoying saccharine high-pitch voiced songs. Other toys cars we have also fit this garage, another plus because you can really expand this garage into a parking lot!
For what it does, the price is unfortunately steep. The right price should have been $30. Also quirky is that the toy does not include a helicopter for the helipad on top of the garage.
Last but not least, it is so true that this garage is easily dismantled by a toddler. My son began to take it apart while stepping on it as a stool — off came the ramp by accident, and from there it went downhill. He takes this garage apart at least once a day. That is the downside to idiot-proof assembly: toddler reverse-engineering. I guess you could look at that as an unintended toy benefit. Being able to take the garage apart has kept my child more interested in it!
I just got this for my two year old grandson and he LOVES it. This despite a missing part and no lights and sound. Toy arrived with two P signs and no gate. Changed batteries twice but still no lights and sound. Went to web site and could find NO WAY TO CONTACT COMPANY to get missing gate so I will have to send the whole thing back and get a new one. Normally would just ask for money back in this situation, but my boy loves it.
My 20-month-old son LOVES this toy. He plays with it everyday. It’s taught him to “pretend play” with cars and trucks, and he’s learned the concept of “up and down” because of the elevator. The design of this toy is larger and sturdier for clumsy toddler hands. Nothing has too much detail, but enough to make it fun and interesting. Very durable. We have been very happy with it.
