Advantages: Bright and attractive to kids.

Disadvantages: Its not easy to move around.

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 isn't easily transportable. Ours is kept on top of a toy box and everytime I pick it up
the thing dismantles (its assembled by slotting all the parts into place).
This wouldn't happen though if I remembered to grab it by its base and not the top - but I always forget and have to put the thing back together. That only takes a minute but its annoying.

Its also cleans up really nice (which I learned when my daughter decided to crayon all over it).

It costs about £40 in the early learning centre, and you can buy additional magnetic cars to go with it if you wish, but its suitable for any car. Its aimed for kids aged 12 months onwards.

All in all it's a really nice toy - suitable for boys and girls alike.

Summary: Nice toy - kids will love it.
