ELC Whizz Around Garage

Olivia, my toddler, really loves cars and other moving vehicles. She can tell the difference between a motorcycle, bus, tractor and car without seeing it, just from the sound [proud mum boasting here]. So it made sense to get out all my husband’s toy cars that his parents had carefully hoarded for him and let her loose. It also made sense to invest in some sort of garage to enhance her fun (and to gain me more time to study!). My mother got wind of our plans and pre-empted us by buying this one from the ELC and my husband bought it over the last time he was in the UK. ********Early Learning Centre********* Probably one of the most popular high ...  Read the complete review

We spent £20 on a garage a couple of months ago, and it turned out to be utter crap, so we bit the bullet and bought a new one. This garage is one that my wife had inspected at play group, and also one the boys loved, so it seemed like a good idea. As you can see from the picture, it's for babies rather than toddlers. It's big and bulky, made of plastic and has few features. It contains a lift, a car wash, one platform, petrol pumps and a long curved ramp. In terms of 'areas for use', it's quite limited. However, it's a good garage. At £40 it's not cheap, but what is? What you're paying for is strong build (it doesn't flex when climbed on!) and a ...  Read the complete review

Noah and Elijah are absolutely obsessed with cars and now Elijah is up and about, we thought we'd spend his birthday money on a garage for him. Noah already has one but it's not very 'baby friendly' and comes crashing down if Elijah uses it as a balancing pole. I have seen this Whizz around garage in action at one of the groups we go to so thought it was a good one to go for. The garage itself is extremely easy to assemble and only took a few minutes of my dear husband's time! It's very bright and engaging and my boys were wanting to play with it even before it was fully assembled. It lights up and there is a sound button which activates when the cars go down ...  Read the complete review

We purchased the Early Learning Centre Whizz Around Garage for my son when he was between 12 and 18 months, he is now a month short of being 3 and it is still going strong. It is an ideal first toy for little adventurers, it is made from extremely sturdy plastic, it is chunky in design, which is exactly what is needed for the little people in our lives, as we all too often know that they can be extremely destructive without realising. This is why you need a toy that can endure the trials and tribulations that everyday playing can throw at them. ****About the garage**** The garage itself comes in 4 main sections, namely the base, ...  Read the complete review

We went into our local elc just before my daughters 2nd birthday and we had a fight to get her back out as this garage was out on display and we a real hit with her. It is really bright and multi coloured and not really aimed at boys as much as other garages so we decided it would make a good birthday present. 2 years on my 3 children all play with it. It comes with 3 cars which are quite chunky and easy for little hands to grip. As my children have got older they have lost interest in the cars and use hot wheel cars instead. The little polly pocket cars work really well too. The garage itself has a twirly ramp and bumpy ramp which the ...  Read the complete review
