I purchased this for my daughter (then 2 years old) before a trip to visit family. It has since successfully entertained her through 14 flights and numerous other "sit still" times. The durable pieces are just the right size and nothing makes any noise! We have lost a few things, but you can order missing pieces from the manufacturer if you are so inclined. I keep this toy out of sight and reach so that it is a special treat to my daughter when taken down. This is a great compact and portable toy for hours of quiet entertainment.

Having never seen this set in person, I bought this product for my daughter based on the picture and the rave reviews it had received. There is nothing in this package that you can use while traveling except the lacing cards. Some of the pieces are so small it's almost a guarantee that half of them would never make it out of the car. I suppose the box itself makes it easier to bring it with you while traveling but it is a very cheap box and will probably fall apart by the end of our first trip. The other problem we have is with the pieces that "lock together". They are made of the same thin foam as the puzzles and it is impossible to make a "structure" because they are so flimsy. This activity set is more appropriate for putting the pieces on the kitchen table and letting your child play with it there. Overall, if I had found this for [price] I probably would be okay with it, but it is not worth [price].

I bought this for my son when he turned three. He loved it and still plays with it a year later. It was also a good travel toy to take on vacation -- I sent a couple of these to my son's cousins as well.

This was the toy that most helped my daughter as she learned her ABCs, and we really did take it everywhere--on car trips, in restaurants, at the doctor's office. Great stuff!

The Lauri Primer Pack is a great travel toy for kids. The items come in an easy to carry tote, and there is an amazing range of activities that can be done with this toy.With the soft foam shapes, you can play games in identifying the colors, shapes, lacing the shapes on the string, etc.The alphabet is useful for teaching letters and sounds.The lace up animals are good for practicing animal sounds, and hand/eye coordination.There are also pieces that can be joined to make interesting formations.This toy stimulates young minds with education and imagination. My wife pulled it out for our flight home from a vacation and our son was instantly engaged with it.

I bought this toy for my 2 year old based on the recommendation that it was a fun travel toy. We took it on a long car trip and 1 year later we are still finding pieces trapped between the seats. The lacing aspect of this toy was the only thing that really kept my 2 year old busy. I found the pieces to be very flimsy and hard to manipulate for my son. Also, the box fell apart almost immediately, making it impossible to contain the pieces we had left after the car trip. Maybe a great toy for an older child...

This is the perfect toy set to bring out to dinner with your toddler. A lot of mini activities to keep him/her entertained throughout the evening!

We recently purchased the Primer Pack for our boys (they are 2 1/2 and 4yrs old) This toy was worth every penny we paid for it. We took this on our trip to Milwaukee and it kept both of the boys busy on the car trip, during dinners and down time at the hotel. Will be loking for more "lauri" toys to purchase in the future.

I got this for my daughter when she was 20 months, just before a cross-country car trip and major move. It (along with its companion, the "Toddler Tote") entertained her for the two-week period from the time her toys were packed in our old home till the time they were unpacked in our new home. She still pulls them out and plays with them from time to time. The carry case is *not* meant to withstand toddler handling, but the pieces themselves have proven quite durable, and have a way of reappearing again despite my daughter's best attempts to scatter them to the winds.

This a fun assortment of activities to keep a toddler busy. My 3 1/2 year old really enjoys the alphabet puzzle and lacing the crepe rubber shapes from the mini puzzles.

Some say this is a great travel toy. My caveat is that it is a great, compact, versatile toy for a toddler to play with upon arrival at your destination but it would not be a good car or plane toy because of all of the small pieces that could so easily be dropped or lost.

My only complaint with this set is that the carrying case is not sturdy at all. Ours is falling apart (clear front is about to come unattached) after only using it a few times.

Lauri is one of my favorite companies for toys because they replace lost parts which is so helpful.
