Toys and Games Reviews of iPlay Zoom Around Garage
Customer Review: Pricey fun for the car-lovin' toddler
Summary: 4 Stars
This garage was so easy to put together (it did not require screws or the ability to read poor assembly instructions), and the plastic is pretty solid, not flimsy. The cars are chunky enough for small toddler hands. The interactivity is just right -- not too much, not too little: there are no annoying saccharine high-pitch voiced songs. Other toys cars we have also fit this garage, another plus because you can really expand this garage into a parking lot!
For what it does, the price is unfortunately steep. The right price should have been $30. Also quirky is that the toy does not include a helicopter for the helipad on top of the garage.
Last but not least, it is so true that this garage is easily dismantled by a toddler. My son began to take it apart while stepping on it as a stool -- off came the ramp by accident, and from there it went downhill. He takes this garage apart at least once a day. That is the downside to idiot-proof assembly: toddler reverse-engineering. I guess you could look at that as an unintended toy benefit. Being able to take the garage apart has kept my child more interested in it!
Customer Review: My son loves it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Zoom Around Garage for my son's 2nd birthday. I had read past reviews regarding how easy it comes apart. I agree somewhat. It stays together easier and is more durable on a hard floor vs. carpet, but once I snapped everything into place it has yet to come apart (I make sure to carry it around by the base). My son absolutely loves it! The cars zoom around so easy down the ramps and are very easy for him to handle. He loves the elevator (we play hide and seek with the cars in it), and the sound effects are fun. I was originally going to get this toy last Christmas, but I'm glad I waited until his birthday. He knew immediately how to manipulate the elevator and the cars to go down the ramp (something I don't think he would have grasped fully a few months ago). I would highly recommend this product for any toddler who loves cars.Customer Review: Pricey Play Toy

Luckily (for me) my mom bought this expensive toy for my son. He got it when he was around 12 months old and didn't really play with it much for the first six months. He initially was afraid of the sounds it made! He mainly tore off the arc with the "P" on it to use for teething. Later on he snapped the little barrier arm to the elevator in two-which created a potential choking hazard in the small round piece created when it broke. He does love the magnetic cars, though. He enjoys the sounds the garage makes now that he's 21 months old, but still doesn't really get the concept of running the cars through the car wash or sending them for a ride in the elevator. I'd say this is a toy for a three year old and up. Overall, I'm glad he's gotten some enjoyment from this toy but I'm glad I wasn't the purchaser.Customer Review: Fantastic toy for 1-6 year olds
Summary: 5 Stars
My 1 year old just got this as a birthday gift - we had picked it out because every time we went to the local toy store, the kids were swarming around this garage. It is extremely well-made - requires NO SCREWS to put together (thank you!), and it is still fun to play with even if the batteries die out. The sounds are not annoying either.
I gave it four stars for durability because while it is well-made, the red slide easily comes off. It is easy to put back on, so it is just a minor complaint. I wish it came with a helicopter, or that they made a helicopter compatible with the playset, but that's just a nice-to-have.
As a side note - my 3 1/2 year old LOVES this toy and plays with it with his brother. It's great to have a toy that the two of them can share.

Summary: 4 Stars
The kids love it. Literally hours of fun. I'm sure after the newness wears off it will be played with less. As a few other reviewers noted or ranted the toy is designed come apart. It's very easy to put together and dissemble. At 3yr he can put it together without adult help. It's great for any little builders. Fisher-Price Little People Racin' Ramps Garage in contrast we "LOATHE" the fisher price garage. It's ramp constantly comes apart, and it requires an adult reassembly. A new home awaits it....
Plus:
1. no screws.
2. durable parts.
3. the kids can assemble it.
4. the kids "Love" it.
Cons:
1. the kids can take it apart. rofl
