Editorial Review

This is probably the first toy that (no pun intended) pops into your mind when you hear the name Fisher-Price. Maybe this will jar your memory: the Push Toy Corn Popper has a long, blue handle (well, "long" if you're 3 years old), and rolls along on two brightly colored red/orange wheels while making great popping sounds as it bounces brightly colored balls inside a clear plastic bubble that's mounted above the wheels. So much for the technical specifications. There must be some unwritten law that every toddler has to have one of these. And with good reason. They're still fun!--Chris Livesay ... Read more

noisy fun!
We purchased this toy for our son when he was learning to walk (at 9 months of age) and now he's 15 months old and still loves it. It's his favorite toy of all. He pushes it, pulls it, bangs the floor with it, chases the cats with it, gives it to me to push while he watches the "popcorn" pop and even this morning he was sliding it on the dome instead of on it's wheels. YES, it is noisy and it's not fun to have in the background while trying to talk on the phone, but it keeps a busy toddler happy! I wouldn't recommend it as a "learning to walk" toy because it's not 100% stable but for someone who is stable already, I'd highly recommend it!

This is one of my son's FAVORITE TOYs!
I bought this for my son when he was 11 months old. He was already walking VERY well and he absolutely *LOVES* this toy! (I would not recommend this to a toddler just learning to walk.)This toy has different colored balls inside and the balls *POP* as the toy gets rolled along the floor. I don't know what it is about this little toy, but he plays with this ALL THE TIME! After reading other reviews, my son never "swings" this toy! He thinks of it more like a vacuum because he sees mommy vacuuming all the time. And some of the reviewers wrote that their children run over their toes??? This is a very lightweight toy. If my son does run into something he simply backs up and goes another way. In that way it is a pretty educational toy that will teach cause and effect. OVERALL - Very Good Toy at Very Nice Price! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Great toy, especially for those new walkers!!!
Our daughter, who is 13 months, loves this toy! She pushes and pulls it around the house with a big smile on her face. Your new walker will enjoy this toy as well.

LOVE IT!
This toy is still a winner after all these years. Our son now 2 still has great fun with it. He pushes it all over the house, up and down the street etc... He spotted it in a baby depot and started pushing it. Needless to say, it left the store with us popping the whole way. I rated the educational value a 4, pretty high, because I thought it taught cause and effect very well. The toy is durable, cheap, and I highly recommend it.

A physically fun toy!
My daughter would run through the house with this! She's 2 now so not as interested, but it was fun while it lasted. This is not one of those toys that will keep them occupied for hours but all the running they'll do trying to make it make as much noise as possible will definitely help them expend physical energy. Worth the price! ... Read more

Recommended Age is not correct
My daughter received this gift for her 1st birthday knowing that she would grow into it fairly soon. The picture on the box showed a seat that is about 6 inches off the ground. I stored it in the closet until she was 20 months old (18 months is the recommended age to start) and my daughter was so excited to see us put together her first bike. What a dissapointment when her feet couldn't reach the pedals. This was a full size tricycle and there is no way she would be able to ride it. She had a lot of fun when we would push her around on it, but that is way tooo tiring for an all day event. My daughter is now two years old and her feet still can't make it all the way around on the pedals. She is tall for her age, so shame on the manf for putting an incorrect age to start. We ended up purchasing a bike that would fit her height and she loves it!

Lot's of fun but pedals poorly attached
My daughter loved riding on this tricycle. But after only 1 month in the house, one of the pedals came off and now she can't ride it anymore. I would have expected more durability for the price paid. Recommend spending a little more and getting a more durable product.

Cute bike
This bike was purchased for my 2 year old daughter. She just fits the bike. After about a month of practicing, she can actually pedal down the street. A great first bike!

Disney Princess Trike---Perfect for a 3 Year
We just bought this for our 3 1/2 year old daughter. Although she is already very good at the peddaling thing, this was her pick. She loves the Disnay Princesses, and although the box says up to 3, she is not ready for a bicycle yet, she is very small for age, mostly short and she doesn't not feel as safe on the bicycle because of the breaks on the pedals, she is not ready yet, if we make it until next summer, I find this to have been a great investment, she loves it. Only complaint, the directions were horrible! My hubby assembled it on his own from looking at the picture on the box.

Daughter Absolutely LOVES it!
I bought this for my daughter when she was 2 1/2. She is a small girl, (my 18 mo old niece was about the same size) and my daughter could ride it right away. No way an average size 1 year old could ride it though, in my opinion especially with the coordination aspect. 12 month old??? I don't think so. Toys R Us's age recommendation fits better than the mfg. My daughter is turning 3 and I think it will suit her for awhile. Although a bit too big for it, a 6 year old neighborhood girl was having fun riding it today. ... Read more

Well made toy
I am impressed with the way these puzzles were made. I was looking for wooden puzzels and these have painted on pictures, not decals. I am not worried about my daughter ruining them. I am a little disappointed as others have said with certain aspects. I didn't read the reviews before I bought this one. I will be more careful next time. I just bought it for the good price. One puzzle does not have pegs. None of mine have the pictures under the pieces, only the words. My daughter doesn't mind as she can't read; however, I think that the pictures would better facilitate her learning and the pegs would make it easier to use.

Great Toy
I bought this toy for my 2 year old daughter and she just loved all four puzzles. These puzzles also served a valuable purpose in that my daughter thought she was playing, but she was actually learning the different animals, foods, transportations, and so forth. She has never got bored with these puzzles . . . and these were all she had!!

this toy has a big flaw
I wanted the learning experience of puzzles for my 2 year old, but there is one big flaw in this toy, the pictures dont appear under each piece, so once they are all out of place, my toddler cant find a way to put them back. I was very dissaponted by this, I dont like putting it together myself, its way too complicated for a child. She is not interested in these puzzles at all, I feel l«ve wasted my money.

Very helpful learning tool
My son (18 months old) seems to enjoy playing with these puzzles. My only complaint would be that the description stated that underneath each puzzle piece the picture of what was to go in that area was to appear but that is not the case. Other than that they seem to be very durable.

He Loves These Puzzles
My 20 month old was overjoyed when he saw these puzzles and loves to play with them. However, only 3 out of the 4 puzzles have the pegs attached and only two have pictures underneath for easy identification. ... Read more

For the toddler who's just discovering construction toys, theMega Blocks Wagon is a simple way to take building materials from siteto site. Topped with a sturdy plastic handle, the wagon is just over afoot high and runs on four 6-inch plastic wheels. Inside are 50 assortedMega Blocks. (These are mostly plain blocks but include a car and twopeople blocks.) The side of the wagon has a row of Mega Blocksknobs, so grand structures can be created right on the top of thewagon. --Richard Farr ... Read more

mega fun!!!!!!
this was a gift for my son last christmas and he loves it. he still plays with it to this day. he tries to build things it great for a childs develpment.

My 2 year old LOVES this toy!!!!!!!!!!!
My husband and I bought this for our son's second birthday and he has played with it for hours every day since then. We could have saved ourselves a fortune on other toys because this was a steal and by far his favorite toy ever. It is very durable, he drags it all over, throws the blocks in and then dumps them out! We have already purchased an additional set of mega blocks. I would HIGHLY recommend this toy!

Fun fun fun
I like this wagon because its so simple and fun for my daughter. She pulls the wagon around EVERYWHERE and even puts all her other toys in it, including dolls, and rides them around. My husband took the blocks out and put my daughter (29 months)in it and ran her up and down the hall! For [$$$] what a great buy.

Perfect for a younger builder....
These blocks are the perfect size for my littler builder who immediately made his first masterpiece moments after opening the wagon.... my only wish is that there were more blocks.

He also appreciates having a "handy storage" place for his toys... the little guy is fastidious... (yes, I am blessed!) We play "build" and then "throw the blocks into the basket".... so the wagon can double for lots of things.

The handle did fall off though it was easily reattached. I don't think its meant for "heavy duty" play.

Great Product
This was bought for my son last fall when he was 2 and he absolutely loved the wagon. While the blocks get scattered and we cannot find most of them, the wagon is a godsend out in the yard. When it comes time for him to pick up his toys, he pulls the wagon along behind him and puts them all in it. This wagon has been left out in the sun, rain, snow and whatever else mother nature throws at us and has yet to show any signs of sun fade. Nice product! ... Read more

Great Toy
My daughter loves this toy. There is only one problem, the top yellow curve comes off very easily, so the balls pop out faster. Other then that the toy is great. I love it!!!!

What a wonderful toy!!!
I bought this for my nephew for his first birthday. Not only did he play with this for at least an hour, his almost three year old sister also played with it. I read a comment that a mom complained about chasing down the balls. Well let me tell you, my niece & nephew loved chasing the balls, we didn't have to. I highly recommend this toy.

My son loves this toy!
My son got this toy for his 1st birthday. It took him a bit to learn how to push the plunger but once he did...oh boy! He is now 17 mos and still loves to play with this. He puts his shapes in there and has even put his pinwheel by the air to make it go. My only gripe is that the balls sometimes go everywhere and he loses interest in chasing them and bringing them back. I highly recommend this toy! My son loves it!

favorite toy
We bought this last christmas for our 6 mo old....he was fascinated with it then that the air would blow his hair. Over the last year he has changed the reasons he is interested but he still LOVES this toy. and our second son who is now 6 mo old loves watching it as the older one makes it go. he sings with it now and dances to the music, and tho we use ours all the time have not found it to be horrible on the batteries. Both boys like to stop the balls and catch them and move them to different places and will giggle nonstop for 45 minutes at a time playing with this toy. <br /><br /> WE love it I highly recommend this toy to ALL who have little ones

NO EDUCATIONAL VALUE
We recieved this toy for Christmas for my then 8 month old daughter, last year. The yellow and red pieces snap together and then they snap to the main piece where the balls can be stored. I have no idea why they did this because at 8 months my daughter pulled up on it and leaned on it and it always fell apart! The balls pop out the top and make there way down while music is played which really amused my dog more then my kid. The balls wind up going all over the floor and by the time you collect them all and wrestle the dog for them it has already stopped playing. Also, if all the balls are in it, they go all over the floor, but, if only a couple balls are in it, they dont pop out the top, they just kinda hover in the whole until another ball comes around or it stops playing. My daughter liked the balls by themselves best, especially in the tub. We wound up giving this toy away because all together I saw no educational value in it and it drove my dog insane! ...

cute but dangerous!!!
My 4 year old son received this bike last year as a gift, I loved the classic look, but did not like that it does not have any brakes. This is a cool bike and kids want to go fast, but can't really stop in time. My kid had to drag his shoes on the floor like if he was fom the stone-age era to stop!!! I would not recommend this bike, unless you can figure out how to equip this bike with brakes!!!!

Advertisement misinformation
I would think that the information of a child's bike that did not come equipped with brakes would be listed in the advertisement. This bike has NO brakes. Had I known this information I would never have bought this bike. We have a steep driveway and there is no way for her to stop or even slow down without dropping her feet and risking injury. I am currently writing a complaint letter to the manufacturer regarding this situation.

NO BRAKES?!?!?!?!?!?
Okay... I have to admit that this is an adorable little bike. When my son received it for Christmas I don't know who was more excited! Then I proceeded to assemble it and noticed a 'warning' on the side of the box... "No Brakes".

Correct me if I'm wrong here but I thought the whole point of getting a bike with training wheels was to actually 'teach' a child how to ride a bike. Sure the 10" Radio Flyer may be good for the first 3 months but what happens when your little one 'gets up to speed'? They'll be crashing into everything. Meaning the bike, at best, will be limited to backyard use only. Our intent was to go for strolls around our block... and we live in a very quiet neighborhood with little traffic. Still, I wouldn't trust going around the block knowing my little one couldn't stop on his own if he had to or, God forbid, mommy was a step or two behind and not able to 'grab' him quick enough!

For $...I'd recommend going with a bike that has brakes so that parents and/or caregivers can seize 'teachable moments' (like, stop or you'll crash into the house!).

Bummer... I expected more from Radio Flyer.

Great first bike!
My son and daughter both learned to ride with this bike. My Daughter is only 2 and learned really easily. I am getting her a bigger one for Christmas since she did so well this summer with this one. One thing about it is it is hard to get going with it at first.

Nice first bike
Our 2 year-old (now 2-1/2) loves it. Even though he was only 24-25 lbs. and 29" tall at the time, he would have felt like a baby if we bought him a tricycle or a plastic "toy" bike. Radio Flyer has already shipped us a couple of parts that fell off (from heavy use) free-of-charge... ... Read more

Fun for girls too!
My twin girls received this fire truck as a gift for Christmas when they were 13 mo. old. They got the biggest kick out of it! They loved the fact that they could make it talk and move and put the people in and out. Now that they are 16 mo. old, they have more imagination and can use it together with some of the other little people sets (such as the fire station). The sounds are good quality, it moves on carpet, and is a wonderful first fire truck. Great product!

COOL TOY
My 12 month old loves this truck. It was easy for him to move around. It is also tough enough to withstand the abuse a little boy gives his toys. BUY THIS TOY!!

Great first fire engine!
My 21 month old son likes this fire truck much better than the retired one that fisher price had out. It is easy for him to work. My 3 and 5 year olds even play with it sometimes. If your little one loves trucks this would be a great first fire engine. ... Read more

My little man loves it!!!
We bought this toy for my son for easter he was 6 months old. I wasn't sure he would really pay much attention to it. But he loves it. At first he would just take the top off and chew on it or just watch me as I put the shapes in saying the names and colors. Then he found out he could take the blocks out...which is his favorite thing to do now. I put them in and he takes them out and puts the bucket on his face and yells in it and jus laughs and then he puts a block in it and bangs it around. He loves it. And I love the shapes and bright colors. This toy will last a long time and can be used in many different ways.
As far as the lid coming off too easy well yeah but it's supposed to....that is part of learning...A 6 month old has to be able to get the blocks out on their own.
I would recommend this toy to a parent looking for something that will last for a long time and is fun and educational.

It Keeps Giving as the Months Go On !
We let dd use to dump things out of at a few young age. Then as time went on, she was able to "put things in" the bucket and also dump out. Then she started to recognize shapes and used as a shape sorter. Then at 18 months old, she started to use as a learning tool for reciting colors. Now at 20 months we are working on the names of the shapes.

It is a fantastic toy. I read some of the other reviews stating that the cover came off too easily. I'm actually glad it goes on and off so easily - it allows dd to do things on her own sometimes and. Yes she too has little spats sometimes that she doesn't want to keep the cover on the container - - however we work with it and just lay the cover on the floor and try to have her fill the spaces with all blue blocks or all read blocks.

The only complaint that I have (and it's minor at that) is when using as a shape sorter, sometimes the blocks get stacked up on top of each other inside the container, so that by the time dd gets to the last few shapes, they don't go in right away until you shake the container to rearrange the blocks inside (making room for the new blocks to fall in). This sometimes frustrates dd - - again though it is very minor compared to all the great things this toy has to offer.

It keeps giving and giving and giving !

Great toy, good price.
I tend to buy mostly wooden toys and toys made of high quality materials for my daughter but, I thought I would give this one a try. I must say I was pleasantly surprised! This toy has been washed several times, and still looks almost brand new! My daughter first became interested in the toy at about 4 months--first simply bitting on the blocks, then later taking all the blocks out of the container, and now at 15 months she has really began using the shape sorter! I must say that I am glad the lid comes off so easily, it allows her to work at her own pace, and allows less interuption of her play from me. If she is given the opportunity to play with this toy with only minimal distraction from me, she will get almost all the shapes in without assistance. Since the lid comes off so easily, she can just dump the shapes out very easily. She also likes to put her hands into the shape holes so she takes the lid off in order to remove the lid from her hand. For the parents who were disappointed that their children didn't use the shape sorter right away. Have patience and guide the child, but do not try to force them to play the way "they should." It may take several months, but eventually they will notice that the shapes fit into the holes. Let them work at their own pace. Have faith and show encouragement and help them build their self confidence by guiding them. I think you will be very surprised at just how smart your children really are!

Top is supposed to come off easily!
The reason the top comes off easily is so that your CHILD can remove it himself without trouble. This way, the CHILD gets to decide how to play with the toy. When he's old enough to put the lid on himself, he's ready to start shape sorting if he chooses. If not, buckets of blocks are fun, too. Playing with toys should be about the child, not about the grownup deciding how to play with it. Reading the reviews of this toy is frustrating!!

So now there are rules for how a baby should play?????
We have an older version of this toy (only three different shapes on ours) that we have had since my second child was a baby. Now baby number six is using it and they ALL have loved it! It's one of the few toys I've saved between kids and I'll most likely keep it for all my future kids and grandkids!

I take issue with the complaints that children don't play with the toy "properly". Are we dictating how children should play, now, too, as well as learn?? Even babies have to follow the rules and do things according to someone else's pre-determined idea of "proper development"? PLEASE!! Let's let babies be babies. True learning is self-directed, not teacher or parent directed.

Yes, toddlers usually prefer to dump the blocks out and put them back in without the lid at first, maybe for quite a while. They also love putting other stuff in the bucket. What's wrong with that? When they're older they usually figure out the shape-sorting aspect on their own and become enthralled with that for a while. If they never use the toy as a shape-sorter so what? They'll still learn their shapes on their own without you "teaching" them and they'll learn whatever other "skills" this toy is supposed to teach as well. Can we not try to controll our kids' learning at such a young age - there's enough of that later for most kids.

This toy is a useful learning tool, though not neccesarily in the way every parent will want. It's also fun and relatively cheap and more durable than a cardboard box or some homemade alternatives. If you can allow your child to use it as they desire I highly recommend it. If you feel your toy "investment" must pay off with a pre-determined "learning objective" on a pre-determind timetable then maybe you better skip it. ... Read more

It's okay but there's better ones
We bought this for our daughter when she was about 14 months old. She likes the electronic buttons but it's hard for her to drive by herself, and when we push her the front moves so it goes astray. If given the chance, would not buy this again.

Great Toy!
My daughter recieved the Chicco Millennuim toy for her 1st birthday. It came put together, so that was a great help! At first, she wasn't tall enough to sit on it and have both legs reach the ground to push herself, now she can, and loves it. But even then, she would have fun pushing the buttons,and putting the blocks in the slots. She loves to pull the steering wheel off and take it in the car w/her(so the music,and animal sounds will follow us everywhere!)It does get a little annoying as she just holds down a certain button at a time, and we get a barking dog for 15 min.,or a meowing cat,or chirping bird,or car horn...etc. The seat does disconnect when you flip it over, and an adult is required to put it back(sometimes pinches me). At first that was dissapointing, but we've discovered she likes to take it places w/her and play w/the activites on the other side of the seat. The boy who lives next door,just turned 2 and he loves it as well. He is VERY rough w/it - ramming it against the wall, or standing and jumping on the seat, and it remains in tact. All in all, this is a great toy, and I would recommend it to any parent. I know that it will remain in our house,and be one of her favorites for at least another year.

A toy worth fighting over
We set the kitchen timer in 5 minute intervals to share this toy. My 10 month old received this for Christmas. My 2 1/2 year old thinks it's hers. She LOVES the music and rides it around and around the kitchen island. Although my 10 month old is to young to ride the scooter ever since he started standing he has held on to the bar and pushed it. Compared to the other push cars I think the weight of this is best. It has never run away or toppled over. Unfortunately the seat always disconnects when you open it up to play with the blocks inside (an adult has to put it back on). The box showed the shape sorting characters sitting on top of the scooter, they actually fall into the back compartment. They do not stay on top. I love the music...it drives my husband crazy. There is an "off" button if you get tired of listening to it. Definately a good buy!!

A GOOD TOY FOR MANY AGES
My son received this toy a few weeks ago for his first birthday. He LOVES it! The bar in the back is just the right height for a new walker to push, and most of the buttons on the sound board are easy enough for him to manipulate. The little people are cute and the blocks are nice and chunky. The flip-out seat is a little tough to work with (even for sisters aged 2 1/2 and 4), but that's my only complaint! All 3 kids enjoy playing with this toy - each in a different way. It's nice to have a toy that can be played with in so many different ways - I don't think we'll outgrow this one for a long time!

Has issues!
My 2 year old loved the music, building blocks and general features however there are in my opinion two main flaws with this product. Firstly the seat does not stay attached if it is flipped over to the toy section. Maybe this was an error with the unit we purchased but I was forever having to clip it back into the side attachments. Secondly the seat is not solid and my child cracked it when he jumped on it. I did tape the crack but he still managed to snag a piece of skin leaving a nasty cut. Needless to say I threw it out after this incident. So it only lasted 5 months. ... Read more

Great Interactive Toy for Toddlers!
I love the Learn Through Music! You can adjust the volume on the back (where the on/off switch is located). There are two volume levels. My son is 22 months old, and he received this gift last Christmas. He loves the Sesame Street characters, and he will "rediscover" it every couple of days and sit and play with it by himself. However, I have had a hard time finding the Elmo Counting Cartridge. If you invest the money in buying this product, you should buy additional cartridges so they don't get bored with the one that comes with it. Hope this helps!

Great toy but TOO loud
This is a favorite toy among my children ages 2-6. I thought it would be a great toy to bring in the car so they could play with it while waiting. BAD idea, it is so loud, I can barely hear anything else. Otherwise, it's very durable (we have 7 children), it's lasted through being dropped, stepped on, fought over, etc. I put a pc of tape over the speaker, which has helped a little, but now the younger one can't play with it (she eats the tape).

a little loud and good for two and up
My daughter rec'd this toy when she was just over one years old. she has issues with using the mic, you must hold the button down to make the mic work. i also wished that the volume was able to be adjusted.

Pages don't correspond w/the Songs
I'm just glad we didn't have to spend our money on this toy. The Sesame Street version was given to my 2yr old as a gift. The pages don't advance like they are suppose to. She is trying to learn the alphabet starting w/A and it's on Y. Elmo pops up to sing at all the wrong places. The music is great though and she follows along w/the singing of the alaphabet and sings right into the microphone but as far as the page being in the right place when talking about the letter its not. Main problem is the songs don't correspond w/what the page is showing. I've replaced the batteries twice thinking that was the problem but it turns out it's not.

lots of fun
My son doesnt spend more than 2 minutes on each toy, except on
this one. He loves this toy. We bought him all the cartridges,
and we rotate them. He doesnt use the microphone.. but everything works great and has endured lots of hits.
I would recommend this to everyone (from 18 months- 3 years) ... Read more

A Toys "R" Us exclusive, this jumbo-sized Darny makes a soft, sweet companion for pet and plush lovers of any age. Big floppy ears, deep dark eyes, large paws, and a cute tail are all covered in the softest pink and beige fur imaginable. Darny's cuddle quotient goes up even higher, given that she is slightly understuffed for extra "squeezability" when humans need something to soft hug. This Darny is quite possibly the largest dog around. ... Read more

I bought this for my girlfriends 21st birthday, and she loves it. It's almost as big as she is, and it takes up most of her dorm room bed, but she's happy, so i'm happy.

Happy Dad
I bought this for my daughter on her 4th birthday and she love's it, she try's to carry it around with her but it's just too big for her to carry, she look's so cute when she does carry it around, I want to get my wife one soon, she's loves stuffed animal

A Great Gift
My older cousin bought this for her toddler-aged daughter for Christmas and she LOVED it to death!! All day she was dragging it around the house (or at least doing her best) or climbing all over it. It is very durable and great for younger kids who can occasionally "throw" their toys at walls and people, because it is too big for young children to easily pick up. It would be a great gift for girls of any age, even my teenaged cousin thought it was sooo cute!!

For kids of all ages
Got this as a last resort for my 2 1/2 year old neice for Christmas -- she adores it as did her brothers and sisters ages 6 - 12. Just for smiles alone, this is a winner. And, I have to admit snuggling with it a bit myself before the wrapping!

Sweet
I got this for Christmas, only it was brown instead of pink. My parents are always asking if the can lay on it. It's extremely soft and it's so comfy! I lay on it whenever I'm playing video games. Interesting, isn't it (sarcasm). Oh, and before I got it I thought the paws were attached, and just to let you know they're not. I reccomend this a lot!!!!!!!!! ... Read more

Boots is in the house!
Our 3 year old daughter loves Boots. She talks to Boots and carries him around the house. We give it 5 stars for educational value because when she talks to Boots she acts out scenes from her Dora videos. This helps her alot with her speech skills and imagination. This is a very well made doll. We are also happy with it's size, it's just perfect for her. It's a great buy!

Boots goes well with the rest of the Dora the Explorer character toys when the kids want to pick up where the tv left off. They have fun going on explorations or just having them over for tea party. ... Read more

Designed to encourage early role play, this small, colorful playground is centered on a giant tic-tac-toe board, with rolling x's and o's, that sits atop a yellow, open-air sandbox. Michael can climb the ladder to the upper platform while Sarah Lynn goes down the red slide and giggles. Other fun features include a musical merry-go-round, a purple tire swing, and a yellow tricycle. This would be an entertaining, developmentally rich toy for preschoolers. Required, but not included, are three AA batteries. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

Great Toy.
Our daughter loves all her Little People toys. They are durable and easy to clean. They are great fun for her & all are wonderful.

Lots of fun!
My daughter received this toy for her second birthday. She enjoys it thoroughly, especially the merry go round and the tic tac toe board. This toy has been known to travel along with us in the car and has kept the teddy bears company as well! Along with her other Little People toys, this one is definately a hit!!

attn: customer service
I was billed $23.16 for a $14.99 toy. When I questioned via the web site e-mail as to why the item was not shipped per poundage at a considerably lower cost, I received no reply. Also, the tax appears to have been applied to the $6.29 shipping also. As I expect this message to be reviewed, please forward to the appropriate department's supervisor.

A must have for your Little People collection
This set is so cute ... and my children (4, 3 and 1) love this set as it's just like the playground equipment they visit at our local park ... so they make the Little People do exactly what they like to do when they go to the park.

It's easy for my children to put the Little People in and out of the tire swing and on the little Merry Go Round. The Merry Go Round has music and you can hear laughter from another button at the top of the slide. The tic-tac-toe game also spins and makes a great noise as well (my 1 year old particularly likes that part!). The 1 year old also finds it easy to put the Little People on and off the bike.

As we have found with all our Little People sets - this set is extremely durable and easy to clean ... a perfect addition to your Little People collection.

We LOVE this!!
I was so excited to see that my 20 month old got this for Christmas from his grandmother! It is the cutest toy--It has a play structure, including a merry-go-round, slide, even the little tic-tac-toe rotating blocks like they have at a real playground. There is also a little tire swing, and it comes with a tricycle. The two people that come with it are so cute also. My son's favorite feature is the fact that when you push a button at the top of the slide, you hear children's laughter. He cracks up everytime the button is pressed.

This is such a great toy, and a wonderful addition to your Little People collection! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Excellent as a first bike, the Ready-to-Ride comes in bright, friendly primary colors and the classic Radio Flyer stylings that remind parents of the little red tricycles of their youths. As with all Radio Flyer trikes, the Ready-to-Ride is built to last with a durable steel frame and heavy-duty treaded tires. Plastic bucket seats provide a comfortable ride and rubber handles offer a secure grip. Kids can tow a doll or load toys into the yellow storage bin on back and announce that they're coming through with the loud bell on the handlebar. Parents will appreciate the trike's low center of gravity and controlled turning radius that prevents it from tipping during speedy turns. The lightweight and portable Ready-to-Ride also easily folds up for storage and has a handy grip in the back of the seat for carrying or hanging. A reliable safety latch ensures that the trike won't begin to fold up midway through a ride. The Ready-to-Ride trike comes fully assembled and is covered by a one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Classic Radio Flyer That Is Portable and A Big Hit!!!
I bought this trike for my 1 1/2 year old and just loves it. It is fully assemble and easy to collapse making it portable to take with us in the car. My son just loves to push the tricycle around. He hasn't quite figured out pedaling yet, but it's easy for him to push it with his feet. I haven't seen anything to lead me to worry about it tipping. This bike is much more attractive then some of the plastic models out there.

Danger!
We bought this for our 3 year old and were very disapointed. We found this trike to be very dangerous. He rode this bike and fell over many times, we also have the fisher price 3 in one bike and that never happened before. We bought this trike as a rite of passage beliving in the radio flyer name brand and tradition. Took it back to the store! Just because it looks cute is not worth the risk of injury to our son. Sorry Radio Flyer but you need to redesign this one!

Great trike!
I have a 2-year-old who is small for his age, so I was looking for a smaller trike. He loves this trike and it is not tipsy as some of the other models of Radio Flyer are. The other comparably-sized (and same-priced) trike is the Preschool Fold-up Trike by Friendly Toys, but it is not nearly the trike that the Radio Flyer is. The RF is way more heavy duty and for the same price! Another bonus is not having to assemble it. It's already assembled! My little boy started pedaling on it right away and he's never ridden a trike before, so I know it must fit him well. ... Read more

Good toy
My daughter (now 8 months old) seems to like this toy. She still isn't able to pull the lines through the knot block by herself yet but she definitely enjoys chewing on it and throwing it around. Caution to parents with infants with "spastic arms": This toy can land a pretty good blow to the noggin so be careful. :-)

Plenty to mouth and explore, Great for the car seat!
I bought this for my baby's car seat because it has a lot of things on it but doesn't take up as much space as other car seat activity packed toys. My baby loves chewing the star, the "entrails" on the ball (that jingles), and the rings. It has many textures that are also fun to mouth and the triangle crinkles and the other star squeaks, but my baby hasn't figured that out yet. It doesn't captivate her as a floor/play time toy, but it keeps her happy and entertained enough in the car seat where there isn't much else to do.

A new mom
My daughter absolutely loves this toy. We bought it for her when she was 2 months old. She is now 5 months old and she still loves to pull on it, touch it, and put it in her mouth. She is fasinated by each part of it. We keep it in her diaper bag and always make sure that it comes with us. It is a great toy to keep her busy. I highly recommend this toy to all new moms.

He keeps him entertained.
My son has loved this toy since he was 3 months old. He's 8 months old now. It's a really good chew toy because of all the different textures. The major complaint I have about this toy is that it's hard to wash. I check it constantly to make sure no crud has accumulated.

My son's favorite toy
My son is a very quiet and observing baby (now 7 months). This has been one of his favorite toys since we gave it to him at 3 months. He is just not starting to play with the sqeaker and pull the cords, but he has been able to chew on it helping his teething as well. Overall, this is a well-rounded toy that I think will be his favorite for a long time. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Kids won't get pinched in this plastic sandbox, even though it'sdesigned to look like a big crab. Its somewhat rounded shape takes up aspace that measures 4 by 4 feet (and the inside space measures just over3 by 3 feet), and it holds up to 300 pounds of play sand. Both the boxand the matching sculpted lid (or shell) are molded from single piecesof red plastic. At the front, the big tucked-in claws frame two crabbilyprominent white eyes. There's no drain hole, so be sure to put onthat shell when it rains. --Richard Farr ... Read more

Great Product
This sandbox was a hit with my 2 year old. We bought the 300 lbs of sand, but could have gone with 250 or even 200 and it would have been plenty. Each day she requests her to "go digging". We know that it will last as other step 2 products do with just a little fading.

Sand and a Crab, what more could you want out of Summer!!!
I just bought this sandbox yesterday for my daughter and she didn't want to get out. It's roomy, can hold tons of sand, we put in 200 lbs, which is more than enough for a two year old. It has a domed top so you can store lots of sand toys. Based on the reviews and Step 2's reputation I know it'll last with just some fading.

This is a great buy for the price.

Love This Sandbox!!
I got this for my 3 year old and she loves it! We put it at her grandparent's house who run a daycare and all the kids love it! It is great for more then one child to play in plenty of room!!

RIDUCULOUS
I have not received this sandbox for my grandson, yet. I grant you had I noticed the shipping charges this would not have been ordered. I could have driven 12 miles and purchased it without shipping charges. The toy is $50 and the shipping is $75. How ridiculous is that? The sad part is I let it get bye me because I like to order on the net.

Wonderful
I just purchased this sandbox after much research....And it is a BIG hit with my 20 month old..All his toys fit inside under the dome lid while not in use. He stood on top of the lid along with a friend and the lid popped in but it popped right back out and you cannot even tell what happened...This is the best price sandbox for the money..Recommend it highly!! ...
