Scared away
I bought the Hummer for my daughter on her 4th birthday. It's a beauty, a very impressive toy. We looked forward to many years of use, considering my son is one and would use it later. In less than a month, and after only a few rides (my daughter only weighs 33lbs) the gearboxes failed to engage the wheels. Needless to say, I returned the toy intending to replace it. As I was loading it into my car, my neighbor told me that he just saw the same toy in a return bin with the same problem. As much as I ( oh yeah, and my daughter) wanted to have have it, we were reluctant to do so and are now looking for another reliable, proven ride-on. Too bad.

This is the best toy.
Bought this for my 3 year old boy, and even the 7 year old girl loves it!! The battery lasts a long long time, I think now for a couple of hours on the fastest setting, and it is still going strong. Takes a lot less time to charge the battery up, too. This is definately one to get, a little spendy, but better than any of the others out there. More roomy in the leg area, too. My 7 year old is tall, and she fits alright in it. And with a max weight of 130 lbs, it will even have the ability to carry some of their toys. ... Read more

You won't regret this purchase!
We got this as an accessory to a Naturally Playful structure we purchased for the boys during Christmas '03. My two boys, (then 1 and 3) have enjoyed it for nearly a year now along with their friends. I expect it will continue to be a well-used and loved item over the next few years. It's lots of fun for one little person to sit in the middle ALONE and play HORSEY with it on their own, or even in between two friends who are teeter-tottering (as the photo shows). Well made, simple design, excellent price. You can't go wrong with this!

Great Outside Toy!!!
We just bought this for my daughter, who is 3 1/2, and in need of some new outside toys, because she is an only child, it is sometimes hard to buy the ones she wants. After reading all the reviews online, I knew this was the one. She can do it by herself of with friends, last night there were 3 other little girls over (ages 20 months, 2 years, 3 1/2 years and 5 years) All four actually loved it, the two smaller ones and the two older ones! GREAT TOY! I would buy agian!

A good, solid toy
We received this free when we bought the playland climber, but I'd definitely spend the money on it if we had to. My daughter's loved it from the moment I pulled it from the box. She loves to sit in the center and rock herself. You can also have the child sit on one end and push the other easily. I also like the fact that no matter how hard she rocks, she hasn't tipped it over yet. A good solid toy, no matter how many kids you have.

Fun Right Out Of The Box!
Fun right out of the box! We bought this teeter totter for my son's second birthday. All we had to do was pop on the handles and it was ready to go. ( Nice feature when a kids are waiting to try it out.) My son (2yrs) and my daughter (6 yrs) immediately hopped on and were teeter tottering in no time. There was no fighting over who would try it first since it can accomodate up to three children (up to 40 lbs. ea.) If one of them did want to rock alone, they could by using the center seat. I did have to remind my daughter not to rock too fast or get off suddenly or her brother would go flying. But that's just a general rule for a teeter totter. I love the fact that it is done in earth tones and made to look like stone and wood. It's a nice addition to the backyard. I feel it was money well spent.

CUTE CUTE CUTE
We bought our son the entire naturally playful collection for his 2nd birthday and this is the first thing we opened. He had never seen a teeter totter before but that didn't stop him. I didn't even get it all of the way out of the box before he was trying to get on it!!!. I love that it can hold 1, 2, or 3 kids and can still be played with. he loves it. He loves the whole collection as do we. I would recommend this for anyone with an active toddler like ours. ... Read more

Log Cabin Playhouse
This is a great toy to keep kids occupied. My two year old daughter loves it. She especially likes the shutters that open and shut and the fold up table inside where she insists on eating all her snacks at. The house is rather large so it is best suited for outdoor play but even the bigger kids can use it for the same reason. This house is very durable and well designed for little kids but then again Little Tikes is well known for its durable products. I would say that it is a good investment that will last for a really long time.

GrandParent Best Gift Ever
This has been the best gift ever. It did not take my son-in-law any time to put together. My grandson who is 2 1/2 years old LOVES it.
Thank you for a great product Little Tykes!
Shipping cost is a bit high (...). That was a big draw back for me.

Wowzer..
We bought this for our almost 2 yr old for Christmas and he loves it. We set it up in his playroom during the winter time so he could enjoy playing with it, but are planning to move it outdoors soon.

little tikes house SOLD!!
I bought this for my home daycare, two year old daughter and my four year old son I was looking for a playhouse that was non-gender specific so my son would enjoy playing in it too! Boy did I score with this purchase!!All of the kids really enjoy playing in this they especially love to ride their cozy coupe up to the window and pretend they are pulling up to mcdonalds drive thru we really love this and it seemed pretty easy to assemble I needed my husbands help but we did it in about 40 minutes...we were as excited to start playing as the kids I am very glad we bought this and if your in the market for a new home this is a great find for a boy or a girl

a little house for my 2 yr old twins
My boy / girl twins really like their new log cabin. The assembly of this log cabin wasn't that bad. My hubby and I put it together in 45 minutes and then it had to be wiped down because of a lot of loose plastic pieces and dust.

My kids will definitely get a couple of years out of this one. Currently we have it set up in our dining room (kids play room). Once it gets warm in the spring / summer, we will put it in the backyard. My twins love going in and out of the door, while the other one usually opens and closes the shutters on the window.

This is a nice log cabin and is worth it. Hope this helps. ... Read more

Wonderful Toy*****
This was a great gift for my twins 3rd birthday. The boys have hit trees,climbed big hills and this thing is still going strong. The have named their Gator "Allie". We ride to the neighbors whose grandson also has a Gator and they all ride around our 5 acre lot. They have enjoyed this gift so much. I wished I had of gotten it sooner.

Problems with the Gator
The kids have loved the Gator. Unfortunately, six months after purchase, the reverse and first gear have completely gone out. Now, it looks like second gear is going out which will render the Gator completely immobile.

Not very long to have a new riding toy.

Think twice before purchasing
Purchased for two young grandchildren (ages 4 & 6). They loved this truck the first 3 hours it ran even though the horn did not work and many of the plastic pieces had broken off. When the motor operating the back left wheel burned out after only 5 hours of use, we returned the product.

The best thing we ever bought
We bought this 2 years ago and our son, then 3 was very excited. He learned to steer and back up, just like a real car.

He's now 5 and still has hours of enjoyment. It was a great investment.

VERY DISAPOINTED!!!
Our 3 year old daughter has had her Gator for 2 months and has given it moderate use. The gears have given out already! For the money this is a rip off. ... Read more

Peg Perego Is the Only Brand Of Ride-On You Should Buy
My son now has the Gator and the Gaucho. He has had the Gator for 3 years. You will have to replace the tires, buy a new batery, have at least tow so you can swap out. If you can afford it, buy it. If not, don't waste your money on Power Wheels. You will just be frustrated when the power wheels start to fall apart, then your kid will be the one fighting to ride the Gator or Gaucho.

Most excited I've ever seen him!
This Christmas I ordered the Gaucho Silver Edition for my three-year-old grandson. We already have the John Deere Gator. To say they have fixed the traction problem is the least of what I can report. This is a great toy. My grandson wanted to sleep on his the first night. This Jeep really has all the extras, to me it is well worth the extra money, from the seat belts to the seat covers, as well as the trailer hitch. It goes with ease where the Gator couldn't go. No traction problems! I am very glad to report their customer service dept. is excellent. If you have a problem just call the 800 number and it is taken care of in a hurry. Our little boy learned to drive on these vehicles, he does a great job handling them. These 12 volt vehicles are the only way to go for reliability,durability and now looks. ... Read more

Aesome Product
I purchased this item for my daughter for her 1st Birthday and she LOVES it.I wanted to buy her a kitchen set because she is always playing with my cabinets so I thought we'd buy her,her own.I was a little hesitant after seeing others in the stores because my daughter is short for her age(only 28 inches),but this is the perfect height for her!It is recommended for ages 2+ but I think a 2 year old might be a litle too big to fully enjoy this toy.If you are looking for a kitchen set for a younger chil this is perfect.It comes already assembled(even stickers placed)right out of the box.I ordered it online on a Sunday it arrived on Friday!!!

durable
This particular item is very safe and durable for kids.
It last long and can be recycled down the line. The beauty of this toy it keeps kids very active in the kitchen and out the parents hair for a while. My niece she will be 2yrs old soon and she loves to cook, she is always in the kitchen trying to help her mom cook with her plastic containers so this is perfect for her, and i know she will enjoy this.

Great Kitchen for toddlers!
We just purchased this for our daughter's Christmas and it was a hit! The best feature, IMO, is the full-size fridge. This is my daughter's fav part to play with. The phone would come in a very close second. Although, she will outgrow it within a year or two I think it is sized just right and the picture is a good indicator of it's size. Her head comes to the top which is perfect! It is built very sturdy and the only thing I would change is the shelves inside the fridge which are not exactly flat so her small play milk bottles that are light will fall over easily but for bigger sturdier play food it is perfect! I highly recomend this little kitchen for you 1-2.5 year old!

Nice and Sturdy, but Small
This item is made out of sturdy, thick plastic. No assembly required (the stickers are even already on). It has all the appliances you could want in a kitchen--fridge, dishwasher, oven, microwave, and even a phone--with plenty of storage space for dishes and play food. However, it does not come with any accessories. Also, the sink handle does not move (so baby can't pretend to turn it off or on), and sink does not have a removable basin. The electronic phone (with sounds) is a nice feature, and was a major selling point in my decision to purchase this item. Please be aware that this item is for SMALL children. My daughter is not even 2 (and average height) and it is just right for her now, so she will probably outgrow it in a year or two. The height is actually just over 30 inches (this site shows it as over 36 inches, but I think the height and width must be reversed). Overall, a solid product, but I was disappointed in the size.

Very cute pony !!
My daughter got this pony for her birthday and she loves it ! It is very cute , eats, hiccups , etc. The only negative thing I would say about the product is that the Velcro that holds the "carrier" behind the neck is too small and it will not stay on. She has to hold it up or carry it around. It really needs a bigger piece of Velcro to support the weight of the pony !!

Pony Love
My daughter got this for her 4th birthday and it is her favorite present. The only trouble we have is the carrier won't stay on, unless she holds the pony with her arms too. That doesn't bother her, though and she loves to brush her hair and feed her the bottle and listen to her cute giggle. What a great toy! My little girl doesn't like baby dolls yet, but loves to baby her stuffed animals and this is perfect for her. Defenitely a good choice for a (...) gift.

Gotta Get This One!! ADORABLE!!
I wasn't expecting to like this toy when I read about it, but it is ADORABLE! My daughter (almost 6) has never been into baby dolls, but she loves ponies. This is a fantastic combination of the two--a baby-doll AND a pony to love. She has taken her everywhere since she got her--everywhere. She tucks her in each night, and buckles her into a seat belt in the car.
*The baby pony sucks her bottle (or your finger), makes cute little coos, burps, sighs, etc.
*The volume is just right, unlike many toys
*She turns herself on and off with activity or lack of--she goes dormant after a short while of inactivity, but re-awakens as soon as she is "loved" again.
**comes with batteries already installed and only has 3 twist ties to get her out of the box! NO CHAIN SAW REQUIRED!!!
Take her out of the box, and she's ready to play!
Definitely worth every penny!

So Soft, So Sweet...A Beautiful New Baby In PonyLand! :)
This absolutely adorable baby pony is the newest (and certainly the cutest!) pony in PonyLand! Rose Blossom (and her equally sweet and adorable sister, Petal Dove, the purple version of this So Soft Pony) is a cuddly soft baby pony that is big enough for your little one to snuggle with!

Rose Blossom is a sweet, pink, snuggly baby pony who needs lots of love and nurturing from your little "pony mom!" Your little one will love changing Rose Blossom's diaper, carrying her everywhere in the included soft baby carrier, feeding Rose Blossom her bottle, and brushing Rose Blossom's silky, shiny mane and tail! :)

This darling pony makes lots of sweet baby sounds...she yawns when you lay her down; she giggles and coos when you gently press her hoof, and she makes slurping sounds when you feed her a bottle. :) She is soft, safe, and durable...the perfect "baby" for your pony-loving little girl! :) I predict that sweet little Rose Blossom will become many, many little girls' "best friend!" :) What a sweet, fun, and innocent toy...your little girl will fall in love with Rose Blossom as soon as she holds this soft baby pony in her arms! :)

I am a thirty-something toy collector and an avid MLP collector...these So Soft Ponies have been flying off the shelves at my local Toys-R-Us! :) I can not find a flaw with these adorable baby ponies!! :) I highly recommend Rose Blossom as an ideal toy for any little girl who loves ponies, loves dolls, and/or enjoys nurturing play...a definite 5-star favorite!!!!! :) :) ...

good toy but needs work
My three year old just recieved this toy for his birthday, and I was a little worried that he was not going to be able to work it on his own. To my amazment he picked it up, and began playing. Some of the screens that it wants you to interact with are a little advanced for him, but it helps you along the way. My only complaint is getting it to work with your dvd player. We went out and bought a new dvd player for him, and we have tried everything to get it to work. When we moved it to another dvd player it works fine! The directions for quick set up were anything but easy. I think the manufactor needs to work on this toy, but it is a good idea!!!

Excellent
My daughter just received this for her third birthday and all she wants to do is play with it. She is really practicing her numbers and paying attention to what is happening so she can find the right answer. Money well spent.

fun and educational
I bought this for my daughter who loves all of the characters that are featured on the trial DVD. She just loves it. She sits for an hour playing all of the games. She is 3yrs old and can put the DVD in and start the game on her own. The sensor is able to reach the DVD player from various locations in our living room. Interac TV is very fun and educational!! I am very glad that I purchased it. We will be buying them for other children that we know for Christmas.

Not impressed either
We received this toy as a gift for our 2 year old. It didn't work correctly, as the buttons on the right upper portion were not functional. After much frustration between our 2 year old, 3 year old and both parents and grandparents, we took the toy back to Target to Exchange for a 'working' toy. Got it home, just to find that it was less functional than the first toy we had. Now, the kids don't even want to play with it, and don't want another one. Much mental anguish, and we don't even know who to contact directly to let them know that this product is dysfunctional.

Not impressed
We bought this for our 4 yr old's birthday. We're wishing we would've saved our money & gotten something else that works better. Everytime you start up the device, it acts as if you have to reprogram it all over again (you're supposed to only have to program it once for each DVD player in the home). A couple of times, we HAVE had to reprogram it, which is time consuming & frustrating. This confuses our child & she has lost interest in it, really quick. ... Read more

All good friends need is an excuse to get together, right? The My Little Pony "Best Friends Ball" playset makes it easy for Ponies to share tales, and shake their tails--the equine way! Twinkle Twirl owns the place, and has plenty of space for at least 3 other Pony party-goers. The play set features a dressing room with an elaborate little vanity; a dessert table with a pop-up cake and lots of accessories; a moving dance floor with lights and sounds; and a romantic balcony in front of a large picture window, presumably for posing or pony-watching. After the event, the studio folds up into an easy-to-carry case with a handle, for taking the party on the road. Requires 3 "AA" batteries. Choking hazard: small pieces included. Diane Beall ...

Very cute item...my 5 yr old loves it!~
My five year old got this for her birthday this year and still plays with it regularly after four months. Her little friends still love to come over and play with the My Little Pony Dance Studio as well. In the world of toys, this is un heard of! (HA!) One thing that is a con on this toy is the fact that it does fall apart easily but it is just as easily put back together.

Buy this instead of the castle
Based on the castle reviews, I am really glad my little girl got this instead of the class. It can fall appart pretty easy
, but the parts are easy to put back on. It folds up neatly and you can squueze about 5 more ponies in once it's closed. A few cute, but very small parts (glasses, cake). It's loud, the dance floor spins, and lights up, so my 3 year old loves it. It's cheaply made, but she loves it. And, it's a great travel toy.

Finally, a pony playset of good quality!
This awesome dance studio is definately five stars! (It's much better made than that castle, and is ten dollars less.) Getting it out of the package and ready to play, complete with the nessescary three triple A batteries, took us less than ten minutes.
The studio folds up into a case complete with a handle for traveling, and opens into a huge ball room with revolving dance floor. When you press a button, lights flash and one of three songs play. A pony can stand on each of the three colorful wheels, one of which spins on its own.
Ponies can practice in the rehearsal studio, which includes a barre, a vanity, and a screen for changing. The vanity drawers pop open and posters of the various inhabitants of Ponyville dancing plaster the walls.
On the opposite side of the studio, ponies can snack on one of five delicious treats, have some punch, or watch the performance from a balcony.
We appreciated the better quality and play value of this playset, and hope you will too!

MLP dance studio- GREAT BUY!
My step-daughter loves this toy! I pre-ordered this item and recieved yesterday and she's been playing with it since, non-stop. It plays music, and seems pretty durable. We accidently pushed the window out but it popped right back in place. It's very cute and the she loves wacthing the MLP's dance around the turn tables on it. There's nothing educational about though, just fun for the girls. And it comes with 16 pony points, if your interested in that. I deffinetly recommend this for all MLP fans. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This talking book comes with an interactive "magic pen" that works like a hand-held computer mouse pointer. Children can opt to turn the paper pages and listen to the story read with different voices for each character. Or they can interrupt the read-aloud session to play with the magic pen (permanently attached with a wire). They can point the pen tip to any word on a page and hear it pronounced, or touch a picture and hear a sound effect (such as "Strike one!" for the baseball bat). Very similar to the popular Living Books computer games, this 10-by-11-inch book is more portable than a home computer. Stories in this set include Lil's Loose Tooth, Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever, and Winnie the Pooh in A Sweet Good Morning. The set also includes a paper piano keyboard and map and human anatomy games.--Gail Hudson ... Read more

Not as great as we thought it'd be...
I got this for my son when he was about 4, and it was a great learning tool before it started falling apart. The quality of it was terrible, and it didn't last more than a year after normal wear and tear. This product was definitely a disappointment, especially after spending a lot of money on books and cartridges shortly before it bit the dust.

fun for all ages
I bought a leap frog for my son when he was 4 and he loved it. He liked the pictures and sounds. It is also great for older kids, the leap frog book that came with his had activities for all ages. It is very educational and a great item to take on trips in the car.

great for my preschooler as well as older childern
I purchased a leappad for my 3 1/2 year old about a 1 1/2 years ago for christmas and it was a hit!! She loved the noises it made and she could write with the pen. The book that comes with the system is broken up into different age groups so the first book didn't have much she could do as for learning, but my older children (then 9 & 11) found a few pages that interested them as well. We soon purchased a couple of addition books that were age appropriate for my daughter and she began to learn numbers, letters and shapes. My sons even got a book to help them in the areas such as bones. My daughter turned 5 yesterday and she still carries her leappad where ever we go. She has moved up to learning sounds and sight words and hasn't even started kindergarden yet. She loves the games and the interaction since it will tell you (or beep/buzz you)when you have made a wrong answer. This product allows my husband & I, as well as other family members, to sit down and spend time with my daughter learning and ITS FUN for us all!! She can even entertain herself when we are unable to sit with her because of how user friendly it is.

We have had NO problems with our leappad and believe me it has been around and used.

I highly recommend it for a child that is eager to learn new things. If I had to find a fault with it, it would be that due to so many different books available, we sometimes misplace the cartridges. I have ordered her a backpack to keep them all together to solve this problem.

Beware Of Leap Frog Products
We are a family of 5. Our 3 children are 6, 3 1/2, and 2. You can imagine how many wonderful Leap Frog products we have in our household. We have a lot. We want to provide our children with a great educational start in life and what better way to do it than with these wonderful Leap Pad products right? Give me a break. Educationally they are great. Durable you ask, no way. Leap Frog only warrants their products for 3 months. We had 2 LeapPads. One still works great, we've had it for almost 4 years. The newer one we bought for our 3 year old stopped working in 4 months. It wasn't product misuse, because my son was only allowed to look at it with an adult. We only used it about 3 or 4 times a month, that's about 12-16 total uses, before the right side of the LeapPad stopped working. Several emails to Leap Frog resulted with no reply from them. They make these products but only warrant them for 3 months. Now I know why. Our Explorer globe flopped out after only 6 months. I will admit that the Leap Frog preschool toys we own have held up great, especially with all the banging around that they get, but their expensive products like LeapPad, Explorer Globe and Leapster have not. I'd look into buying educational products from a company who is willing to stand behind them and has the necessary means to make repair work on expensive products that no longer work. Leap Frog is a company I will no longer spend any more of my hard earned money on.

Fantastic even for age 3
My three-year-old received this leappad for his birthday, which he wanted very badly, and just cannot put it down. He carries it with him throughout the day and it's the first thing he looks for when he gets up in the morning. He saw it at toysrus and just absolutely loved it so he was very excited to get one of his own. He loves learning his abc's and numbers, and loves it when his favorite characters talk back to him. This is such a great tool - if you're trying to decide between this one and the Fisher price one, go for this one. The gal at toys rus said that the fisher price one is just for preschoolers whereas the leappad will grow with the child until age 8. Not bad! ... Read more

Very durable and educational
This is a wonderful puzzle that is both fun and educational. The puzzle is made of thick, quality plywood and very durable. It has taken quite a bit of abuse from my 19 mo. old daughter. She tries to carry it from room to room and like most toddlers, thinks that if she presses the peices in each slot hard enough, it will eventually fit, hehe. Despite this abuse it has held up nicely. The colors have not faded and the puzzles pieces are big and easy for small hands to handle. The large knobs on each piece are especially nice for small hands. There are also pictures of similarly shaped objects beneath each shape to help reinforce it. Overall, a great toy that I think will withstand most any childs daily play.

Terrific play value
I love wooden puzzles because they are relatively inexpensive (compared with most toys) and because I feel like my children are learning while they're playing. I have three children -- and many puzzles -- and this is one of the best. I bought it for my youngest (now 32 mos) for her second birthday and it's a huge hit. The puzzle pieces are very thick and durable, and the large wooden knobs are the perfect size for tiny hands (and there's absolutely no chance they'll come off). The colorful pictures under each shape really keep my daughter's interest, especially when she was younger and loved to play peek-a-boo using the pieces and the pictures. Now, she loves identifying each picture so it's great a great vocabulary building tool too.

In short, don't hesitate to buy this toy. :)

Excellent puzzle, but who lives in a pentagon house?
This is a great puzzle, it's very durable, the handles are big and great for little hands. My daughter loves to take the pieces out and bang them together like cymbals. Under each shape is a picture of something of that shape, you know stop sign under the octagon, etc. However, there is a house under the pentagon and it drives me nuts - whose house is pentagon shaped!?!!?

great learning tool
I purchased this puzzle for my daughter at 17 months old. I like the fact that she can handle the pieces in her little hands. It is made very well.

Cost $4.99 at toys-r-us store.
I bought this yesterday from a toys r us store for $4.99 plus tax. $19.99 is a total rip off for this. My son does love it and it is a great toy to buy for your child but this price is not justified unless you live on a mountain top and have it delivered to your door. All the wooden puzzles by Melissa and Doug are $4.99 at toys r us and target. So either both stores in my area are mispricing them or online is over charging for the same thing. ... Read more

misunderstood toy; great when you follow the directions
It is funny to see one parent saying that her 1 year old's feet can't touch the "petals" (smirk) when the intended age is 18 months and up. Another funny thing is to see how many parents say the "parental" handle doesn't lock in place--I got news for you it does!! All you have to do is put the yellow pin which locks the handle in place in "rocker" mode behind the handle when it is in "parent" mode. Our two year old loves this and enjoys rocking, riding, and pushing the parent handle. He hasn't quite caught on using the pedals because his feet get in the way but hey, that's what two year olds do. :) I see this as a long term learning toy to help our son transition to a bike later on. It was a very smart purchase. Lots of stores have them to try out--go decide for yourself.

great toy
i just bought this for my 2 year old daughter and she loves it. wherever we go this toy has to come. It has a place for little ones who are not quite big enough to ride on there own to put there feet up while mommy pushes them around, and while we are at home she loves the rocker. This is a great toy.

Great for Grandma's House as they will get years of use
We have three of these as each of my boys received one for their first birthday and I think they are great. The only problem is I wish they were all at the same house - two are by their Grandparents 3000 miles away while my three fight over the one we have at home. Makes we want to go buy one or two more. My six year old still loves to ride it even though he has moved onto a big boy bike because he can really zoom around the corners without getting nervous. The little foot rest doesn't do much but not a huge problem. Found that it worked best in the rocking mode when off the carpet. The handle is great as not only am I able to push them but they push each other. It really manuvers well. My almost 2 year old tries to pedal it but is not quite big enough so he just zooms around with foot power. All in all a great toy that after 5 years of constant use shows no signs of "decay" - how many toys can you say that about?

Fun fo Less the Price
I wanted to buy my daugther a more expensive Trike, but my husband I could not see paying over 80 dollars for a Trike she would outgrow. So we bought this trike and boy I'm glad we did. Our daughter likes the fact there is a foot rest since she is too young to petal and we love the stearing rod even though it is some times tough to use....but I'm still getting use to it. We also like the fact if we have another child it can turn into a rocker. Plus it is very durable. We have rolled it in grass, concrete, sand, etc... and the wheels are in like new condition along with all the other parts. Very Happy with this product!

WONDERFUL FIRST TRIKE!!!
We never used this as a rocker, my son, now almost 2 got this last Xmas, and LOVES it! Only downfall, my son zooms around the carport on it, and it tips frequently, so just be close to catch if it falls~ A great first trike~ ... Read more

educational and fun!
This toy is great! Does 16 different animals sounds. Sings Old McDonald through one time. Each time using a different animal name and sound, of the 16 animals. A quiz mode to find the animal that makes a certain sound. The handle is easy to pull, for a 2 yr old anyway. He imitates the animal sounds. It uses batteries, so it sounds a lot better than the standard see n' say. The batteries have lasted long in it, 3AA. ... Read more

Cool but I only wanted the construction cars
What I meant by my title is that I already had Rusty and I just wanted the Construction Cars. The cars sway from side to side and they can survive a lot of damage. I was suprised at how durable these were. The sets are a lot of fun because you don't need any additional things to go with it for immediate fun. These toys are really good for a car trip to keep a child busy when they are bored. I would higly recommend getting this set but don't buy Rusty first.

Rusty is good
Rusty is great. i got him as a present for christmas one year he has 3 cars - rusty a dumper and a cement mixer you can use him with cranky or anything with a magnet. he is also in some episodes on a video.

Rusty & Construction Cars!!
The Thomas & Friends wooden railroad gives you Rusty and 2 Construction Cars. This set provides hours of fun for your children because they can use this set to recreate stories about Rusty and his construction fun. Its educational value shows children how man-made things are built and they will probably use this set with thier Lincoln Logs and other construction kits. This is also a very sturdy set, but sometimes the mixer's top will come off and will need a frequent fix-up! Other than that, it's a wonderful set and a great gift idea!

Great addition to Thomas collection
If your child likes thomas the tank, they will love this little set. My son is crazy about it. He makes little construction sites out of his lincoln logs along his track and then delivers the necessary supplies for building with these trains. What fun! ... Read more
