My son received this as a gift. He absolutely loved it, but it broke wihtin a few weeks of use. First the actual sorting stopped functioing properly and then the handle used to turn the crank broke off and all was lost. We had to throw it in the trash.

My son just recieved this toy for his 5th birthday so I cannot comment on durability over time. However, so far it has been a lot of fun. The coins have all gotten to the right legs and it has worked well despite the fact that yours truly had to assemble it from scratch. It does seem somewhat fragile- if a coin gets stuck a good whap on the table is likely to force the sortasaurus into extinction. A gentle shake moves everything back into place. Overall I am pretty happy with the toy. I looked for a sorting bank because he really really wanted one and for what I found on the market this has worked well.

I thought it would take my change to save but instead it took my change away from me as the only way to get it is to break the darn thing. We put it together following the instructions but it has broken so many times that we spend more time fixing it than playing with it. Save your money! Don't spend it on this! It is really just a piece of junk!

Our (almost) 4-year old son thinks this bank is pretty cool. He liked helping put it together and now likes to show anyone who'll watch how it works. I watch this all with trepidation, as it is clear from the cheap plastic sorting mechanism that this dinosaur will soon become extinct. That said, it will have been fun while it lasted.

the sort a saurus bank is a fun easy to put together bank but it breaks very easy.

My 6 and 3 year old kids love this sorter. We simply slid the doors off the bottom of the feet to remove the coins. My 3 year old is learning the difference between the coins. It is fragile, but treated with care, it is a lot of fun.
