Advantages: Safe and sturdy

Disadvantages: Fiddly and boring

This toy was given to my little boy (10 months) as a Christmas present. I thought he might like it as he had the Fisher price Little People Bus and quite enjoyed playing with that.

Cost
It cost the person involved £15 so it wasn't very cheap but I thought it could be worth it. She bought it from Boots but they also have it in ToysRus.

Assembly
Some slight assembly is required but not much, it just a wing to clip on. It's more complicated to extract it form the packaging. It is about 30 cm long and 20 cm high. It has a little handle on the top so the child could carry it.

The toy
There is a pilot (female!) which sit at the front. When you push her down there you hear a song or a message from the pilot (3 AA batteries). In the main body of the plane there are tow more little people and a luggage crate. The plane is open top and there is a door on the side. There are wheels (small) on the bottom. The plane has a face on the front and when you move the plane the pilot moves up and down.

Opinion
Sorry - it's a thumbs down in our house. He doesn't really play with it (yet) and he's now 15 months. Unlike the bus it's really tricky to get the people in and out of the plane. It doesn't move as well as the bus - i.e. if you push it doesn't really go very far. It's not really captured his imagination. May be he will like it as he gets older and he can play more imaginatively with it.

Wouldn't recommend it for younger children.

Summary: Toy plane that my boy doesn't really play with
