Product Description

Hop on this Little People bus for a fun-filled ride. Find out what happens when you press down on Carlos the bus driver, or Michael or Maggie in the driver's seat. Preschoolers are rewarded for their actions with lights, sounds, speech and delightful tunes. Sing along to "Wheels on the Bus" and "If You're Happy and You Know It."

As children get closer to school age, Beeps makes them excited to ride a real bus. Beeps comes with a fold-out stop sign, plus a rear ramp for helping children in wheelchairs get on and off. Measures approximately 12" x 6" x 6". Requires 3 "AA" alkaline batteries (included).

Both of my girls, ages 2 and 4, enjoy playing with this bus. It comes with about four Little People and a wheelchair. The side door and back door open (for wheelchair access), the headlight/eyes move as the bus rolls, and the stop sign can be pulled out from the side of the bus. It plays two songs, beeps, and makes a "voom voom" sound.

One thing I like about this bus is that it moves only by kid-power, not a motor or wind up, so it can't go too fast and bump into things. It tends to engage the kids in more quiet play, rather than some of the motorized toys that zoom around the house. Also the noises that it makes are not too loud.

This toy has paid for itself in terms of the amount of use it gets. If I could only afford one Little People toy, I'd choose the Farm, but the bus is reasonably priced and the kids love it, so if you can afford it, get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Twins' Favorite Toy, May 9, 2003

This review is from: Little People: Beeps the Bus (Toy)

I bought one for my twins when they were 15 months old. They fought over this toy so much that we now have two. My boys are 22 months old now and every single day when they wake up this is the first toy they play with. It plays "The Wheels on the Bus" and "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands". They enjoy putting the little people in and out of the bus. It's well made, except for the doors, which pop out too easily. This toy stimulates imaginative play and they look for the real school bus out the window each day now. I would highly recommend this toy for any child that enjoys cars and trucks.

This review is from: Little People: Beeps the Bus (Toy)

My three-year-old son loves this school bus. He likes to load the kids on the bus and make the bus driver talk and sing songs. He has learned empathy by helping the little people with disabilities (with the wheelchair) on and off the bus. It is good exposure to the idea that not everyone is the same. However, it was shocking to have to describe that to a, then, two-year-old. One of the first questions he had that I really had to think about the best way to answer. Other good features are the stop sign and two doors that open and close.
