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

Having been impressed with our previous toy purchases from VTech, we decided to purchase the Playtime Bus for our 9 month old son. VTech seem to make really great interactive toys, and this seemed no exception. The bus is suitable for babies aged 12 months plus but, with no small parts, we decided our son could benefit from it at 9 months. We purchased this for £17, which is a reasonable price - it can be found for anything up to £25. THE TOY The toy is effectively a large push along bus, about 40cm in length and 15cm in height. The wheels work as they should so baby can simply use this to push along if desired. The toy is electronic and has great ...  Read the complete review

My eldest son has had the Vtech playtime bus for nearly two years now. He got it for his first Christmas when he was eleven months old. At the time he was in my eyes very young for it and enjoyed just pushing the bus along the floor. It is a sturdy toy for him. Overtime he has realised it does a little more than that and enjoys sitting on the floor with me and listening to the sounds each button makes. Admittedly it's not a toy he chooses to have out every day but it has been frequently used in the two years we have had it. The playtime bus is typical of Vtech with lots of educational buttons and its bright and colourful look to attract those little ones ...  Read the complete review

This is an education toy which uses fun to help the child learn. It is suitable from 12 months plus as there are no small parts. Looking at it its looks very complex for a 1 year old so I didn't buy it but it was brought for a gift for my daughter for her first birthday but after seeing the delight she got from it I would definitely recommend it even at this young age. The bus is bright red with a handle on the back so older children can hold it when she was younger she would just have it sat stationary in front of her as its quite large and was too big for her to carry around however now she's older its one of her favourite toys that does not leave her ...  Read the complete review

I haven't had many of the Vtech range of toys for my daughter, as i have a tendency to stick to Fisher Price and ELC toys (as you will have gathered from my past reviews!) However, my friend gave the Vtech Playtime Bus to my little girl as her son had outgrown it. My daughter absolutely LOVES this toy and when she decides to play with it, boy does she play with it!!! So much so it ends up driving me crazy! The playtime bus is an interactive toy, and it is great fun. The bus itself is bright red so immediately appealing, on the top there is a yellow circle, a green square, a blue star and an orange triangle which are buttons that make various noises. The front ...  Read the complete review
