Advantages: It's Playmobil! Well made and great fun

Disadvantages: Small parts

I bought this for my daughter, at the time it was £22.50 from our local toy shop. We already have loads of playmobil, including the tractor, and this goes nicely with that. The set is recommended for age 3 and above as it has lots of very small parts. In fact my daughter is only 2 but plays with her brother's playmobil, she just needs a bit of supervision.

In this set you get a jeep, a horsebox with a horse, a figure and various accessories such as a hay bale, a brush, some horse medicine, a blanket, a harness and a rope. The horsebox unhooks from the jeep and there's room for 2 horses inside. You can remove the roof from the box and jeep to give your child easier access to put the figures in if they need it. There is room for 2 adult figures in the jeep and also 2 child figures in the back, or you can put the crate of accessories in there if you want.

I think this is quite a good value set, it has lots of pieces and goes well with the other farm/equestrian set. Playmobil also do a single figure and horse for about £5 which would be a good addition to this set. As with all Playmobil, it is well made and robust. There is some self assembly (attaching wheels mainly) but it's very easy. If you are giving it to a very little one, you can easily remove the smallest parts and you still have lots left to play with.

Summary: A great value set
