I really love Playmobil or more importantly my children love Playmobil. When my son was about 2 years old he was given a tractor and trailer set by a friend. This toy became a firm favourite so I thought a review would be helpful to encourage others to try this toy.

The Playmobil tractor and trailer is part of the Playmobil 123 range. It is specifically designed for children from about the age of 18 months. Playmobil 123 doesn't have any small parts so doesn't pose a choking hazard. The box contains a tractor, trailer, farmer and cow. The tractor and trailer are easy to fix together and the coupling is very robust so would be difficult to break. The farmer is brightly dressed and there is a lot of great detail on his clothes. The cow looks friendly too!

Playmobil 123 is made of durable plastic and all the pieces are chunky so are easy for little hands to hold. They are also easy to keep clean, useful when they get taken into the sand pit!

My son used to love pushing the cow around in the trailer. Playmobil made a range of farm related sets and they will all fit together to make a great play experience for any young child.

This set in numbered 6715 and is available from toy shops such as Toys R us. It is not cheap and retails for around £9. This is a toy I would highly recommend. It was well played with and encouraged my son to use his imagination. It doesn't need any batteries either!
