A fun toy for infants to preschoolers

Review Date: October 26, 2003

Reviewer: LRC, Virginia

I have 3 children ages 1, 3, and 5 who love this toy. Not only does it get used with the Little People but it also is used with other toys. My 1 year old loves the sounds and is able to put the people into the cars. It is so sturdy that it withstands his climbing all over it and it does not tip over on those occasions when he decides to stand up and hold onto it. My 3 year old daughter loves to play with the Little People that came with it and she loves the video that came with ours. My 5 year old likes to use it for staging battles with his green Army men and their planes and it occasionally becomes a hideout for the Superfriends action figures or Matchbox cars.

It has just enough electronic sounds to be fun but not to take away from the kids' imaginations. With such a wide appeal and so many ways to use it, this toy is a great value! Way to go Fisher-Price.

Little People Once Again A Big Hit!

I bought this toy for my son's 2nd birthday since he loves his Little People toys so much - the farm, zoo, bus, and other Little People play sets just to name a few. Little People play sets seem to be some of his favorite toys and keep him happily engaged and focused for such an extensive period of time. This toy is no exception! This is a crawl-around-on-your-knees, keep-those-toddler-hands-moving, sound-making, smile-producing wonder of a toy!

This garage is the best of all the LP garages previously

I have owned three Little People garages over the years, and this is by far the best! This set has so much more to do and think about when driving and repairing a car. It even has a vacuum station, a diagnosic center (similar to the really old style- only much sturdier), and a cute news stand. The base has several places for sounds to come out- even more than the previous garage model.

The only drawback is the "snapping" of the pieces together before you can give it to the child to play with. I had a difficult time getting the two ramps to snap in place. But the nice part, when it is all put together, it is VERY sturdy. FP thought ahead this time and put in a track support along with a post that reinforces the whole toy much better. My two year old even fell on it once (accident) and it didn't hurt the toy at all.

Overall I give it 5 stars- a perfect Christmas present for your toddler/preschooler!

So Much to do for Kids who Love their Cars

Review Date: October 18, 2005

Our son has loved the Little People line of playsets since he was two and the Ramps Around Garage has long been at the top as his favorite.

Its obvious upside is the number of activities that it contains: there is a straight ramp, a spiral ramp, an elevator, a gas station, mechanic's bay and car wash. Toddlers will enjoy running the cars down the ramps and making the various sounds that the playset makes, e.g. pay phone ringing, gas station pumping, etc. Older kids will get into the imaginative play with the playset's different areas, such as towing a car to the garage and then having the mechanic work on it. There's not much educational value to tout here aside from the imaginative play for older kids.

It includes two cars (sports car and tow truck) and two figures (mechanic and assistant). Both of the cars are the standard Little People size and have the peg that fits Little People snugly in place, so they're compatible with the vast majority of other Little People products and vice versa.

The only downside to the Ramps Around Garage is that it takes up a sizeable amount of floorspace. It's hinged in the center, which allows you to reconfigure it for different ramp positions, but either way, it's still very big. Plus, there's no ability to fold it up for any travel or storage - taking it apart would be the only way to reduce its size. So, it incurs the risk that your child may like it so much that he or she will be disappointed when it can't be brought to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

The Ramps Around Garage is an excellent playset within a very strong line of children's toys.

Another great little people toy

My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves playing with this garage. She especially likes how fast the cars can go down either the spiral ramp. The sounds effects are great! It comes with two cute characters and two cars, and it works great with cars from other sets. Most of the vehicles from other sets work on these ramps as well. I would definitly recommend buying this to add to your LP collection!!
