Editorial Review

Uh-oh, has Barbie gotten herself into hot water? Yes, literally! Our leggy friend’s latest acquisition is a party RV with built-in hot tub. Now, any time they want, Barbie and her pals (dolls not included) can call "road trip" and away they’ll go. All the comforts of, well, a luxury hotel! The big pink bus opens up on one side to reveal kitchenette with stovetop, oven, microwave, fridge, sink, cabinets, and table. The second room is a combination living room/bedroom, with a sofa that expands to become a bed, closet, bookshelves, and lots of knick-knacks (boom box, potted plant, fuzzy pink pillows, etc.). There’s also a bathroom behind the kitchen, complete with toilet (you can lift the seat), sink, shower, toilet roll, towel rack, and fabric towel. Exhausted by all these amenities? Open the outside wall of the RV to find, under a canopy, a hot tub with removable basin—you can really add water for Barbie water play! Watch the lights flash and listen to the Jacuzzi bubbling, party music blaring, horn honking, and microwave beeping. There are so many small details and knick-knacks; girls will have no problem entertaining themselves for hours at a time with Barbie’s RV. Requires three "AA" batteries (not included). --Emilie Coulter

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a party on the Barbie Party Bus!, July 28, 2006

This review is from: Barbie Hot Tub Party Bus Vehicle Play Set (Toy)

I bought this Barbie toy for my 5 year-old daughter (and yeah, maybe for me, too!) and we have been having fun playing with the bus with her Beach Fun Barbies. The sounds the bus makes are the horn on the steering wheel, the microwave oven and the flashing lights and music for the "hot tub". My daughter gets a kick out of pushing the button to change the music for the tub, which also makes "jacuzzi" water sounds. The only thing we don't like about the content of the bus is dealing with the fold out couch-to-bed setup. The thing falls apart every time we try to set it up or fold it for storage. Otherwise, the bus has alot of detail and fun accessories. I think we'll be playing with it for quite a few years.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots to do with no substance, October 10, 2006

This review is from: Barbie Hot Tub Party Bus Vehicle Play Set (Toy)

My husband and I bought this for our daughter who is 4 and 1/2 and she absolutely loves it and it keeps her busy for hours. The only problem is everything falls apart all the time. The concept of the party bus is great but they need to modify it's design substantially. Everything comes apart. The kitchen table does not remain attached and also the second bed or sofabed falls apart constantly that we took it out and the bathroom doors fall off as well. Who knows maybe ours is just defective. It is not worth the money but worth your child's fulfillment.

3.0 out of 5 stars cute, but...., December 2, 2006

This review is from: Barbie Hot Tub Party Bus Vehicle Play Set (Toy)

My daughter received this bus for her 6th birthday...she loves it...except when she tries to make it move...its very hard for her to push and almost every time she opens it something falls off. Yes an easy fix...but frustrating to her because she has to stop play mode and either get me, her dad or her brother. Other than that its great...
