VTech Playtime Bus

Amongst the huge amount of toys that my son received for Christmas was the V-Tech Playtime Bus. V-Tech is a very well known brand that produce some excellent educational toys for babies, toddlers and young children. As a pre-school toy designed for 1 to 3 year olds I thought the Playtime Bus would be ideal for Jack (aged 2). Being bright red in colour and featuring fun character images the bus is instantly attractive. The overall shape is quite basic as it's just rectangular with four rolling wheels. There are no twiddly bits to pull, levers to tug or objects to move...but there are lots of buttons to press! With four modes of interactive play, this talking ...  Read the complete review

The play bus is great, it has a lot of educational purposes but i dont think it is made as well as it could be. It talks to you in a womans voice, when you press the button with the driver on it says tickets pleas. You have the alphabet down the one side in yellow, you have 4 option settings one is to make the letters say the phonics sound, one is asking you to find a specified letter and praises you when you find the correct one, you have got sounds and letters where each letter tells you the sound of the letter and the name of the letter and music library where some of the letters play music and athers make a animal sound, the animal sounds ...  Read the complete review

The wheels on this bus go round and round for sure, but that’s not all folks! This bus is an educational toy and a half. Your kiddies can do some serious learning, or just play with it and have lots of fun, and so can you mums and dads! Although the bus is aimed at pre-schoolers, my little girl got her Playtime Bus at 1 year, as a gift from my brother. It’s not something I would have chosen for her myself as it does look a bit complicated for very tinies, but in fact it’s been a big big hit and is definitely one of her favourites. The bus is a lovely bright red, just like the old London buses, only not mud-stained. It’s got a moulded handle for ...  Read the complete review

We have had the VTech Playtime Bus in our house for 4 years now and it is still a very popular toy. My eldest son got it for his 1st birthday and he is now 5, my 3 year old and 1 year old still play with it now. We got it for his 1st birthday as that is the age it is suitable from and is seemed a good educational toy. I think VTech are very good at making educational toys and even at 1 year old it is still important to be thinking about learning your baby. The Playtime Bus as you can see is a big red bus with a handle at the back which makes it easyfor baby to push or carry. There are 4 buttons on the top and down one side of the bus is the on/off button. ...  Read the complete review

I bought this toy secondhand in a charity shop for just £2.00! I probably sound well skanky as alot of the toys I buy are either from Bootsales or Charity shops just to save myself hell of alot of money as the price of the majority of toys these days are ridiculous. Whilst my 13month old twin boys don't know things are not brand new I will continue to do this that way they still get everything they want and even don't want for hell of alot cheaper lol! If you were to buy it in a shop though the retail price is roughly £15. It is reccomend for children aged 12months plus, which I think is just right as it is a good way to introduce numbers, alphabet and shapes and ...  Read the complete review
