Advantages: chunky - nice size - recognisable character

Disadvantages: none

When my eldest son was about two he loved Bob the Builder and we have collected many of the Bob toys over the years. One of his favourites has always been the Born To Play Bob The Builder Friction Scrambler.

I originally bought a set with Bob the Builder and Scrambler in it for about £5.00 but I can't remember where from. I bought the toy when my son was just over a year old and then for his second birthday he received a large selection box full of Bob the Builder Vehicles which included another Scrambler so we now have two.

Scrambler is a quad bike and is one of Bob the Builders machine team. The toy is made of hard plastic that is painted Blue. He had four large tyres that are made of textured rubber and he obviously has a little face like all the Bob the Builder machines. He isn't very big but is just the right size for little hands to hold and manouver.

My son loved scrambler immediately partly because it looks just like Daddy's full size quad bike that my children find very exciting to go for rides on around the farm. Scrambler is mostly played with in this capacity and doesn't very often carry Bob as his passenger. I also have a younger son now who is completely Bob the Builder mad and even at only 20 months can sing the theme song and name most of the characters. He loves scrambler too and spends many hours pushing the little quad bike around the floor.

Even though we do have two they are both showing signs of wear now that they are a couple of years old. The blue paints had been scratched off in places but this doesn't affect the enjoyment my children get from playing with them. They haven't broken and remain in fairly good condition apart from the colour. I think the age recommendation for these is about 3 years and over but all three of my children have liked Bob from a much younger age. We have never had a problem with the toys and younger children but I think that maybe of small parts did break off it could cause an issue.

I'm not sure if you can still get the set I bought but on www.amazon.co.uk you can get a set with Bob the Builder, Scrambler and a trailer for £9.99.

I would recommend this toy to any Bob the Builder fans regardless of their age.

Summary: A lovely little toy from the Bob the Builder range
