Toys and Games Reviews of Automoblox Mini S9/T9/C9 3-Pack by Automoblox
Customer Review: Great quality & fun - choking hazard for <3 y.o.
Summary: 5 Stars
I just rec'd the minis as a gift for 4 y.o. son. He and his 18 month old brother love playing with them. It's the perfect size. I've had this for ~ 1 month. It appears that it will last through all my kids.
Other reviews seem accurate as to quality and fun, so I'll try to add new info:
Construction is of smooth wood and plastic. The wood pieces snap together with sturdy plastic plugs and grommets permanently set into the wood. All wheels are removable and the rubber "tire" (like a thick rubberband with traction grooves on the inside) comes off too. The axle for the tire is permanently fixed into the wood. The clear roof easily slides in/out without grommets or snapping but will not fall out if turned upside down.
The decals are painted on - not stickers. So they don't peel off. Great.
The plugs, grommets, axles, tires and roof are all color coded alike. That really helps me put the proper pieces together later. The set also includes 4 spare black tires.
It's a little difficult to pull the pieces apart sometimes due to the smooth wood, but once my son figured out how to grip it around the axles, he didn't have a problem. Among other things, it's fun to flip a piece so the wheels roll on the top of the car (it's silly) or rotate the roof.
Downsides:
1. The wheels & tires are choke hazards for my 18-mo-old. As expected; the toy is not meant for that age. The 4-yr-old also removes the wheels with his mouth/teeth b/c they snap on tightly. Not all children would do this, but just be aware. I have no problem removing the wheels by hand.
2. The wheels end up all over the toy room if the toddler is around. As I said, the set includes 4 extra wheels.
Overall it's a great toy for girl or boy age 3-?. I recommend the minis and like that there are 3 to interchange parts and interact in pretend play. This is the quality I want - and would pay for - in all new or classic toys.
