My daughter loves it!
We got this for our daughter on her 2nd birthday and she loved it. Now she is almost 4 and still loves to ride on it. At first she didn't look where she was driving, but it didn't take long for her to master driving it. It's also much easier to steer than the jeep type that has the round steering wheel. It's held up fine over 2 years with lots of use even when the kids purposefully run into each other. The only negative thing I have to say is that it does go quite slow in the grass. It's not going to be a good choice if you want your child to ride around in the backyard on it. But we live on a cul-de-sac so it's easy for the kids to ride around in the road. I would recommend getting a second battery so you can always make sure one is charged since they do take awhile to charge (or you may end up with a temper tantrum on your hands).

Barbie Trailrider
We purchased this Barbie quad for our 4 yr. old daugher and were very unhappy with the performance. With a 6 volt battery it hardly pulled her through the grass (she is an average 40lb. 4 year old). Our two year old son was the perfect size for this toy. It had enough power to pull our daughter on the driveway, but anymore than 25-30lbs. is too much for the voltage of this particular ride-on. If you're looking for a ride-on for a child over 3yrs. of age I strongly recommend spending the extra money to get one with a 12-volt battery. It makes all the difference!!
Ours was ridden (mostly by our son) for only one summer and it will hopefully be sold in a garage sale soon. Live and learn!!!

Way underpowered
The barbie quad is way underpowered even for my 3 year old. If you want to use this off any hard surface, forget about it. It will bearly go. You're better off buying the 12 volt Kawasaki Ninja quad instead. I'm not sure why they made the girls Barbie quad 6 volt and the boys Ninja 12.

This is an excelent ride!!!!
My little girls is know 5 years, but when she was 3 Santa brought her a Power Wheels Barbie, like I said she's 5 and she still rids it I think she can use it 2 years more, she rides her brother 3 year old, this is a very good present!!!!!

she loves it............
My daugthers uncle bought this for her first birthday we did not assemble it until she was 14 months and the first time she rode it she had so much fun, I was even able to ride behind her with my legsin the air. We opted for this one because the smaller ones are such a waste of money. You just need to supervise, but it's worthevery bit of the money. ... Read more

Editorial Review

If your child is building a Loving Family Home collection, this "dining room" set will fill at least one of its rooms with classic, if miniature, décor. The set features four high-back chairs, a booster-seat for Baby, four place settings, birthday gifts with (molded) balloons, and a punch-filled pitcher with cups. The centerpiece of the dining room, as in most real homes, is its cleverly made dinner table. It displays a pizza on a checkered tablecloth on one side, accompanied by "Italiano" music. But flip the double-jointed table legs up, and turn the table over: now you have a floral tablecloth, birthday cake and birthday music! Its low tech, but lights, sounds, and versatility make the dinner table the highlight of the set. Required: 3, "AAA" batteries. Diane Beall ... Read more

She didn't want to let go!
We had came back from toysrus. Dropped off the stuff inside our home and relaxed for about 20 minutes. Within that time, I got this set out since I was interested in it also, lol, and she was just too into it! She threw a fit when we had to pull her away from it because we had to leave again...! Which was fine in a way since we knew SHE really made a good choice on which set to buy. And she's only 2 and some months.

My daughter loves this!
This is a very cute toy. My daughter received a giant dollhouse for her second birthday in December 2003 made by her grandpa, and then many Loving Family accessories to go in it. She loves all of it. Even after Christmas came and went (I realize it's only January but at two years old, toys often hold her interest for a very short time), the dollhouse and accessories are the hands-down favorite. I love all the Loving Family items. They are darling, and realistic down to the tiniest details. She loves the happy birthday song it plays, as well as the pizza party song. Her grandma has an older version at her house, which played three songs and seemed a bit simpler to use (no legs to fold down, just a button to push to change the table's theme music), but this one is still pretty neat. I worried my daughter would be a bit young for these items but she absolutely loves them! Nothing has broken so far but I gave it four stars because I am assuming it's somewhat delicate just because it is so small and has some small accessories.

Fun addition to dollhouse
My daughter just got this, along with the dollhouse and other accessories, for Christmas. She will be 3 in a week and a half. I think it's a wonderful addition to the house. She has lots of fun playing with it. She always wants it on the birthday party side, but I'm sure as she gets older she'll want to change it sometimes. The balloons sing Happy Birthday when you set them on an interactive spot in the house, and you can press the candle on the cake and the candle on the pizza side to get more music. I wish the booster attached better to a chair because it always falls off, but that's not a huge deal. This is a must have addition to your loving family dollhouse!

CUTE CUTE CUTE
My daughter received this for her 3rd birthday in addition to a dollhouse. She loves that it plays happy birthday. to me its strange to have three place settings and 4 chairs, but she likes it. the table is double sided and the legs are able to twist around to have either a pizza party or a birthday party. it took my daughter a couple trys to turn the legs evenly. all and all, she loves it and its cute. so yes its worth the money :) i wish they had more delux rooms you could purchase. ...

Home to evil Lord Dragomont, this massive fortress sports a huge dragon's head centered above a set of swinging gates. Lights flash and alerts sound when the dragon's mouth opens. Turning a knob on the back makes "hot lava" flow to the right of the stone entryway steps. Further to the side rest two stone platforms, one above the other, equipped with a trap door that opens when a secret spot is hit. The toy's quality is decent but not mind-blowing. It comes with a 26-minute cartoon video, Fortress of the Dragon; also included are action figures of Lord Dragomont, a small red lizard, and a winged red dragon that shoots a missile out of its chest. (You just press a button above its tail.) Required are three AA batteries, sold separately. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

TOO MANY PIECES
MY LITTLE GIRL GOT THE LOVING FAMILY DOLL HOUSE FOR CHRISTMAS, ALONG WITH ALL THE FURNITURE. SHE LOVES TO PLAY WITH IT BUT WE WENT OUT AND BOUGHT ALL THE FURNITURE TO GO WITH IT, THAT IS NOT NECESSARY! MOST OF THE FURNITURE WILL NOT GO IN THE DOLL HOUSE. IT IS JUST TO MUCH. DO NOT BUY THE DINNING ROOM TABLE IT COMES WITH ONE AND THE BABYS ROOM COMES WITH A CRADLE. LIKE I SAID MY LITTLE GIRL LOVES ALL THE STUFF BUT IT WILL NOT ALL FIT IN THE HOUSE, IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY

Cute accessory for dollhouse
I think this is a very cute addition in the Loving Family dollhouse. The chair actually reclines (back goes back and footrest goes up). The floor lamp is really cute and we love the little dog. I love the fireplace too, makes for a cozy living room. I actually prefer this living room over the newer Deluxe Living room that interacts w/ the house. That one has a big TV that you can change the picture on once or twice. I've decided that's not what I want my daughter pretending....that the family sits and watches TV. She can watch TV in her own time, but while playing w/ this dollhouse I want her imagination souring :-)

Great Must Have Set
When we purchased this set for our four-year-old daughter, we weren't sure if she'd like it. She absolutely loved it. It taught her that one should never go to bed without first putting out the fire, and she loves the dog that came with the set. She's happy that she can keep her "Loving Family" warm in front of their own fire.

Very nice!
This living room set is very nice. And looks really sturdy. I bought it for my little cousin's new loving family sweet sounds house for christmas. She will love decorating her new dollhouse. I just love the whole loving family selection. One by one I will try to buy every room set. I have already bought four. Fisher-price really makes nice dollhouses and acessories!

lots of fun
I bought this for my little girl who is 2 years old to go with her Dollhouse and Stable. It fits perfectly in this house, and no furniture is duplicated. It is very sturdy. I also purchased the nursery and bathroom, and I was pleased with them as well. ... Read more

Simply put the Move ‘n Groove Dance Mat on the floor and let your child dance the day away. The keyboard makes six different notes, the instrument icons play various tunes, and when the picture of Barney is stepped on, he will issue instructions to step on the blue footprint, step on the red footprint, etc., and even congratulate the child when she steps on the correct spot. The furry, inflatable Barney figure spins around when music plays, an effect that would be better if he didn't tilt weirdly to one side. Nonetheless, Barney is still a nice bonus with this mat since, being removable, he is a fun toy in his own right. True, the combinations of things you can do may be limited, but the physical and interactive qualities of this toy are a big plus. --David Stoesz ... Read more

wow im 25 and i still like this
this thing is so much fun it teaches people to dance move n groove barney is off the fisle fashisle dawg. so buy this thing for yourself and experiance the fun and joy of barney. barneys fun fun fun

Barney Dance Mat, not so Super Duper
The Barney doll is a blow-up doll and does not stand up properly on the stand even when it is at filled at capacity with air. It just turned out to be a big noise-making mat that our toddler dances on.

Fun, but Barney Deflates
We may have purchased a defective one then because Barney will either deflate while trying to spin or he will come out the base (I even tried to double-tape the bottom of his feet to the base, but that didn't work either). My 2 year old loved this toy, but since Barney doesn't stay put (or deflated), it made her upset, so we ended up throwing it out. I didn't realize that not everyone had this problem (from the other reviews I have read). Maybe, we just purchased a "bad" one or something.

Great toy for a two year old who likes to dance!
My 18 mnth old loves this toy. She loves to dance with him even though she can't understand the steps yet. She especially loves to pick Barney up and run off with him! It's one of her favorite toys and my 6 mos old laughs when he hears Barney talk. He thinks it's really cool that Barney is in our house. (:

Don't understand all the bad reviews!
My 2 year old just received this toy yesterday and she and my 3 year old can't stop fighting over it!! They both just love it. The people who complained about blowing it up must have never blown up a beach ball before!!! It took me maybe 5 or 6 breaths to inflate it. And after hours of play.........Barney's still standing. This is the first toy review I've written and the only reason I wrote it is because I strongly disagree with all the poor reviews. It may not be the most educational toy but it's great exercise for the kids!!! ... Read more

Welcome Baby to the brave new world of interactive books with this LeapPad-styled talking picture book system. As with regular books, grownups will want to introduce their tots to the concept, sitting together at first and pointing out pictures and words. Soon they can advance to the interactive part: touching words, objects, holes, icons, or textured spots on the pages to hear descriptive phrases, music, words identified, and fun sounds. More than 100 songs can be heard, and with the purchase of additional stories and cartridges, the opportunities for fun learning are endless. The Baby Animals book (included) is simple and colorful, with recognizable critters in their own settings. The system allows three modes to play: Story, Explore, and Surprise. Let Baby’s fingers do the exploring! Four AA batteries required (not included). --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

A fun toy
My daughter's received this for their first birthday and at first, they weren't too interested in it. However, it has become a favorite with them. They will pull the pots apart and put them back together. Both of them have figured out how to make the pot "talk" and they seem to take great pride in that. They play with this toy for quite awhile and enjoy the bright colors and the three sorting blocks that are a part of this set. Neat toy overall!

Hours of Play Time and Fun!
I purchased this for my daughter for her first birthday because I like the Laugh and Learn collection.She opened it and loved it.The same day she played with it for 25 minutes straight!As you know, that is a long time for a 1 year old!She has played with it EVERY DAY since, and it has been over 6 weeks.It plays catchy little tunes that are educational like the rest of the collection.I didn't think too much of it in the store, but it is a huge hit with the kids.All the little ones that come over love to play with it too, and my other children like to play with the little one with it too.I definatly recommend it! ...

Boring as a set
My 18 month old son will take a couple of the individual pieces and walks around holding them and making the animal sound but is not interested in playing with it as a set. For his 1 year birthday, he got almost the complete set of Little People's and just never was interested in any of them.

I will say that it is extremely durable because he uses the larger pieces to try and climb things now (as stepstools). I was disappointed by his lack of response because I thought the toys were interesting.

We Love Little People
This was the first Little People toy my daughter had ever had, we got it as a 1st birthday gift. She's almost 2 now and this past year I think she has played with it or a part of it at least 5 days a week. She loves the horse and cow, enjoys giving them drinks from the water pump! The video which at first I didn't think was that exciting, has really grown on me. The music is catchy which may or may not drive you crazy depending on how many times your child will view a video. My daughter asks for the Little People video all the time, so I've seen it over and over again. What more can I say, except WE LOVE LITTLE PEOPLE!

Great toy for boy or girl
We got this toy to add to the larger FP farm. It is a great addition. My 20 month old son loves to give the animals a drink of water from the fountain. This is a great learning toy. This is one toy that has brought my 5 yr old son and 20 month old son to play together. Keep up the great work Fisher-Price.

Not a favorite toy at our house
Since we have the big barn, this little one gets pushed aside most of the time. The barn doors are easy to pull off and have been lost already. The water pump is cute but doesn't really hold their interest for long. In short, this play set is buried in the bottom of the toy box. The video, on the other hand, is a hit. Little People videos really get my kids' attention and they're the sort of happy little movies you'd want your kids to be watching.

Great toy for the price....
I bought this for my 2 year old son on Easter b/c I wanted to get him a farm, as those have always been my favorite Little People playsets, but our Little People town was running out of space. He loves it! It comes with just about all of the same animals, and it takes up a LOT less space. He plays with it often. It goes great with the Little People Noah's Ark!! ... Read more

She laughs and dances
When we play with this toy ... and she is only 1 .... she loves "chewing" on the people, and playing the music.

I just wish that there was more options to the sayings/music or at least the music played longer than just sampling it.

A great toy for your own Little Person!
My mother got this toy for our son at his first Christmas, when he was 4 months old - - he's now almost 11 months. He wasn't too interested in it at first, but over the past couple of months, it has really become one of his favorites. I know it is intended for toddlers+, but my little one really likes to take the people in and out of the bus - - the top is open so it's easy for him to do. He loves it when we push the button to make the songs play. And he likes to open and close the doors. I think he will enjoy this one for a long time to come, and we're planning on getting him other Little People sets for his upcoming birthday.

My two year old loves this toy
I got this for my two year old daughter 8 months ago, and she still plays with it almost daily. She just loves it.She lovesthe music too!

Fun for toddlers
Both of my girls, ages 2 and 4, enjoy playing with this bus. It comes with about four Little People and a wheelchair. The side door and back door open (for wheelchair access), the headlight/eyes move as the bus rolls, and the stop sign can be pulled out from the side of the bus. It plays two songs, beeps, and makes a "voom voom" sound.

One thing I like about this bus is that it moves only by kid-power, not a motor or wind up, so it can't go too fast and bump into things. It tends to engage the kids in more quiet play, rather than some of the motorized toys that zoom around the house. Also the noises that it makes are not too loud.

This toy has paid for itself in terms of the amount of use it gets. If I could only afford one Little People toy, I'd choose the Farm, but the bus is reasonably priced and the kids love it, so if you can afford it, get it!

Wheels on the Bus!!!
This doesn't keep my little one entertained for hours but she is a girl, so that might be why. Her favorite song is the Wheels on the Bus, so she'll press the little horn button inside the bus and sing and dance. Really cute!! She's only 2years old and she's never played with or shown any interest in Little People and I believe that I read somewhere that they don't get into imaginary play until they're closer to 3. Not for my 2 year old but very cute nonetheless. ... Read more

Totaly In!
This toy goes perfect with the doll house it doesnt matter if you have the doll house or not. Its still fun to play with.If i could i would give it 10 stars for being an all around awesome toy.Cool realistic things and what I love most about all loving family things are they hold up good!!!!!I might be an 11 year old but I still love doll House things. My mom got rid of my old doll house you cant get anymore but thats why I chose to get the loving family dollhouse.It is cool,fun and i love this back yard set best.Your never too too old for doll house i recomend it to all.

My two year old loves this set
My daughter has the Loving Family figures and was given this set to compliment our dollhouse. She finds it very easy to get the babies in and out of the swings and get the toddler kids to sit at the picnic table.

Because this set includes things we have in our backyard - swings, slide, bbq and picnic table I hear her role play along with the figures just like when we are outside as a family having our summer bbqs and playing.

As with all Fisher Price toys - it's extremely durable and easily cleaned. A great addition to your Loving Family collection.

Backyard fun for the loving family
My kids love the Loving Family toys, so the backyard set is a hit. Unfortunately, only the babies fit in the swings and the picnic table and grill are really too small for the parents. But overall, it's fun to play with. ... Read more

Rather than worrying about forming an increasingly complex, unbroken line of metallic dust with squeaky knobs for navigation, this sketcher is an easy schoolmate with lights, sounds, and flash cards--all designed as a 15-inch school bus. There are buttons on one side of the bus for drawing, quizzing, problem-solving, and repetition activities. There are also five, two-sided, interactive learning cards, stowed in a side compartment, used as visual aids. Logistically, a large, attached stylus with a magnetic tip allows small hands to draw big letters and words; a sliding eraser makes it easy to start over; and there are only a few loose pieces, so it's a good travel pick. Required: three AA batteries.Diane Beall ... Read more

My son loves this toy!
I bought this for my 5 month old for Christmas and he just loves it. It is so sensitive that he can easily make it light up and play the music on his own. I read the reviews about the music being loud and I am inclined to agree that it may be a bit on the loud side but it makes my son giggle so much when he hears the music play, that I cannot complain. He does hit it in the middle of the night and the music over the monitor wakes us up but never seems to disturb him. The music is a nice improvement on this toy but if I could add a constructive comment, it might be a good idea for Hasbro to make the toy with a feature that allows the sound to be turned off by a switch so that it just glows at those times when the music is not wanted.

Loved it at 3 months old!
My daughter received this for Christmas, when she was 3 months old, and fell in love with it instantly. We sometimes wondered if she thought that the Gloworm was alive. She truly enjoyed the many songs and the happy lit face of Gloworm. She is now 14 months old and although she took a break from him for about 3 months, she's enjoying him once again. Now, though, she is able to hug Gloworm herself. I highly recommend this toy for any newborn!

AWESOME
My 8 month old daughter LOVES this toy. It'll stop her mid-scream. I bought it a few months ago and she's so cute with it. She kisses it and looks lovingly into it's eyes. I highly recommend it.

Great Toy
This was given to my daughter as a gift when she was 2mths old, and she loves it! It is really easy for her to activate, and it's an instant cry-stopper. However, I do agree with the other parents where it doesn't play the songs long enough. Right now her batteries are low and it sounds pretty creepy. You've got to keep batteries at hand with this toy.

Love it
We brought this for our daughter who isn't even a month old yet and she loves it. If she gets fussy all we have to do is squeeze it and her eyes widen and she just watches it. The only bad thing is that it doesn't play the songs for very long before it shuts off and you have to squeeze it again. ... Read more
