3.0 out of 5 stars Great, but get it from Target for half the price, April 26, 2008

These are a lot of fun for both my 2.5 year old and my 6 year old. They both enjoy taking them apart and putting them back together, including mixing and matching different parts. The wheels are little less durable than the other parts.

The big issue is the price on Amazon (via Fat Brain Toys). You can find these same cars at Target for about half the price.

I found this toy on a top ten list this past Christmas. I was a little stumped on what to get my three year old so I ordered him the Sportvan. I was surprised, he LOVES it, as do my other two sons and my husband. I'm not sure what the fascination is but they play with them all the time and he just got two more for his birthday. He also got the Mini versions from his uncle and those have not been played with as much, I wouldn't recommend those. Great toy, but sheesh, they are so expensive!

Simply put this is probably one of the most original toy I have seen these past couple of years. Fit a one year old and will probably last an eternity.
Nicely made and crafted. Can be combined with the other cars/truck of the series. Vivid colors and puzzle like construction make boys and girls want to play with them. From one to adulthood!!
