As my son grows and develops, he requires stimulation in different ways and forms and his taste in toys is gradually changing. His fascination with small, noisy handheld rattles is waning and he is moving on to bigger 'doing' toys. He loves to press buttons and pull levers and learn about actions and consequences. With this in mind, we recently purchased the Whizz Around Garage from the Early Learning Centre, which was on offer at £30. It usually prices at £40. It is designed for babies ages 12 months plus. GETTING STARTED I purchased the garage online and it arrived promptly in it's box. The box features a picture of children playing with the ...  Read the complete review

I bought this toy to cheer my little boy up when he was poorly. We'd been cooped up indoors for a week, after which I decided that he was well enough to stroll round Early Learning Centre. His little face lit up when he saw the Whizz Around Garage on display. Anything car related is always a winner, and it's bright attractive colours drew us in for a little play. Half an hour later, we owned one and it was a welcome addition to our home! The garage consists of a lift tower with three traffic lights on which light up as 'going up' type sounds play when the handle is pulled up and down. You can move your little cars between levels this way. It has a spiral ramp and a ...  Read the complete review

This is one of the best things I have ever bought for my son and I cannot recommend it enough. It is quite expensive and I think it usually costs £40 but I bought it on offer for £32 and at both prices I think it is definately worth the money. I really like the colours of this as it bold colours of yellow, blue, red and green. I have this one but it also comes in a girly pink version which I think is a nice touch. My little boy loves playing with this and it is something he plays with for a lot of the day and even though he has lots of toys he always plays with this. This comes with three little cars which are magnetic so you can join ...  Read the complete review

I feel very smug in saying my absolutely daughter loves this garage, as my husband thought I was wasting money by buying it for her first birthday! The Early Learning Centre is usually a reliable, if slightly expensive place to buy toys for my daughters age group, so when I spotted this I thought it would be a big hit with her, particularly as she loved playing with the garages at her friends houses. The whole thing is really easy to put together and even I managed it without looking at the instructions, so it must be pretty simplistic! The main body is already assembled, it just needs a few bits added to make it complete. There are also stickers ...  Read the complete review

I got this for my daughter who, despite being incredibly girly, absolutely loves playing with cars. Shes had it for about 2 years now, and its still gets played with regularly and still looks as good as new! It's a really nice little garage - its really brightly coloured which children will love, and made from firm plastic. It comes with 6 sounds (including a sound it makes as the cars comes down the ramp which is cool) and comes with 3 chunky cars that are perfect for little fingers. The cars have magnetic front and backs so they all stick together in a big line if you want them too. Whilst it is quite sturdy - my main gripe is that it ...  Read the complete review
