1.0 out of 5 stars Cute idea, very poorly executed, November 16, 2008

This review is from: Fisher-Price Super Sleuth Changing Tree (Toy)

My son saw this advertised on TV and NEEDED to have it. I finally relented and made him pick out 5 of his toys to donate and then made him get half the money from his piggy bank. He really, really wanted it! It's a cute idea and he likes to play with it, but the "changing" part is a huge disappointment. The characters have holes in their feet and there are pegs in the magic door. It's nearly impossible to get a character securely into the pegs. I can barely do it and when I think I've got it, they don't stay anyway. When you use the lever to make the switch, the character falls over...usually blocking the door and making it not work. In simple words, it just doesn't work. Oh, the swing also hits the tree house, therefore doesn't swing freely. I really don't know why Fisher Price would release a toy like this.

It's very overpriced, too. I'm a parent who spends way too much money on toys and clothes, and I usually don't mind if they are entertaining and/or educational. This toy should be in the [...] price range (with sale prices around [...]). We got lucky and paid at the high end of that range and I regret it. I wish I could return it. I think it's actually worth a letter to the Fisher Price because they should make a better toy.

Save your money until they make this better. If they make some improvements and lower the price, it will be a great toy.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Worst Fisher Price Toy Ever Created, December 1, 2008

This is the single worst Fisher Price toy ever made. I have never been disatisfied with a Fisher Price toy until now.

My son got this toy for his birthday and it was broken the same day. He got less than an hour of playtime out of this thing in total. He is 3 years old and did not play roughly with it.

Beware! Do not buy this toy!

Things that broke on ours are: the lever gets jammed; only one slide will flip down; the tipping slot where you put the scooter no longer tips to push the scooter down the slide; sometimes the changing area does not turn all of the way around; the door latch only works half of the time, if I want it to close, I have to push down the changing lever again and then close the door again. All of this is wrong with it from less than an hour of total play time!


To top it all off, this toy was poorly designed. When the treehouse flap comes down, you can't swing the swing.

I contacted Fisher Price. I am sending this toy back to them in order to get a full refund voucher to use on another Fisher Price item. I think I will stick with a Little People playset this time.

My daughter LOVES this toy. I was hesitant to buy it for Christmas after reading several bad reviews, but she loves the characters so much that I thought we would try it. On Christmas morning, she played with nothing else. She didn't even open the rest of her presents until the next day! I agree with other reviewers that the "changing tree" function does not work as well as it could - the characters' feet do not line up on the pegs very well, and it is somewhat difficult to push their feet onto the tiny pegs on the tree. All other aspects of the tree work really well, and so far, nothing has broken. And for sheer imaginary play, this is a wonderful toy!
