Toys and Games Reviews of Gears! Gears! Gears! Dizzy Fun Land Motorized Set
Customer Review: Fun but with valid complaints
Summary: 4 Stars
I read all the reviews before I purchased this for my 5 year old so I'll try to address the complaints of the other reviewers. First of all my husband could not believe the box said the toy was for 4+ kids. I think it would take at least a 10 year old to be able to assemble the toy by themselves. And only a 10 year old that was good at Legos or following Ikea assembly instructions would be able to put the toy together. So parent participation is definitely required when assembling the toy. Now that said, it was easy enough for my 5 year old to put the pieces together if I gave him the piece he needed and told him where it went. Overall, assembly was easy fairly easy, again you have to be familiar with following Lego or Ikea instructions and if you aren't then I would say assembly of the toy would be a bit more difficult for you. Now the complaint about the carousel falling off is valid. But it only happened when my son would run the gears nonstop. If you pulse the gears and let it run for only a few seconds at a time then the carousel was fine. But try telling a toddler to "pulse" the gears right?! The roller coaster is also a disappointment because the coaster tumbles down the track rather than sliding down the track as if it doesn't fit on the track. But in the end, after it was all assembled and my 5 year old had played with it for a bit, he said "this is so cool". Hence the high rating. Would I recommend the toy to others? It depends on the aptitude of the person I'm recommending it to. If it's a parent that is willing to sit and play with their child for at least an hour then I would recommend this toy, but if it's a parent that doesn't have that kind of time to play with their kids then they will only find this toy an aggravation.
