Holy Crap!

If anyone is looking to buy a toy for a YOUNG child...this could be the one.

I don't think it has any recalls or anything. It's cute, fun and educational...

BUT...Here's the thing....

IT IS INDESTRUCTABLE!!!!!

For over a year...my little monster has hurled that thing across the room 10-15x daily. It still works like it was purchased yesterday. NO other toy has come close to standing the test of time...and Dylan...quite like that one. And he loooves it.

Just sharing...

    Now I have the song it plays in my head...lol. :D

    Yeah, that thing is really sturdy! My little girl was trying to put her foot in the second/third car thing, like it was a skateboard or something. :D

    Get your little monster some GeoTrax next! Fisher Price makes the most awesome and indestructable toys that are in the mainstream market.
    GeoTrax are aweseome! I dont know if my little one had that train, but I have a whole collection of vintage Fisher Price toys that I have let him play with. Like they are made of steel!

    Yeah...My son weighs bout 30 pounds. He will stand in the first car to make the song play.

    One of the best toy investments I've ever made.

    (So much so that I felt compelled to make a thread about it!!) :D

    I got Annabelle a couple of Little Tikes toys for Christmas, and while they are cute, the quality is REALLY lacking. Her FP toys can really take an Annabelle-style beat-down and still work just fine. :D

    I agree....I used to Love Little Tykes. Cool stuff, inexpensive.
    Crap quality.

    Cool! Thanks for the tip!

    Another one of Dylan's favorite toys is the Leapfrog Magnetic Fridge Animal Set. However...we went through three of them between April and December. When the third one broke...He was just out of luck. (It's only a $15 toy...and he loved, loved loved it...that's why I kept replacing. Done with that!!!!)
