My 6 year old wanted the Barbie camper because she plays with my old one when she visits her grandma. I thought it would be a nice addition and although she is happy to have it and likes the fact it has sounds, she was complaining in the first 5 minutes that the wheels don't work. Who designed a Barbie camper where the wheels aren't low enough to really roll across the floor (carpet or hard flooring)? And I agree with the other comments that the sides don't stay shut when you try to move it and the only storage space for the utensils/plates flies open all the time. It really is cheaply made. I think Mattel needs to do some serious design and quality control with its manufacturing plants. We also have the Barbie with the hair coloring and it is horrible quality. My girls still love to play with them and some of them are good like the John Deere Barbie...and I will say the Diamond Castle was well done when we bought that but the products are not consistently good like they were years ago.

Does she love it? yes. Easy to assemble? yes. Does it really roll? Well, uh, yes and no. My complaint is that it rolls as long as you don't have carpet/ area rug to push it on. It's a low- rider. And the side panel that opens out will not completely shut (opposite the 'tent' pop-out), therefore, it comes apart while the child drags it across the floor. So, I had to teach her to push it while holding that panel closed- sort of hard for a 5 year-old to do consistantly. I had Barbie and her accessories as a child and my complaint on the whole to Mattel would be- Why can't you make'em like you did 30 years ago? The quality with all the 'new' Barbie items just isn't there. My best advise is to spend your $70 bucks at EBAY on the 1972 version of this.

I was very disappointed in this camper. I had the original orange one as a child and I played with it outside in the yard with my dolls. This new one doesn't roll because the wheels are not large enough. My daughter has to push it across the floor! The box claims "Wheels really roll" but they don't. Very disappointed, I contacted Mattel and they said they'd mail me $3 voucher for my problem. Not much consolation for a $70 toy that is poorly designed.

My daughter received this toy for Christmas. Because of it price it was her big present. The toy did not last until the end of the Christmas break. The canopy snapped off and was unable to be repaired. My daughter is four and very careful with her toys. The design of the canopy makes it very difficult to close for small hands. It also does not have any supports to hold it up therefore it sags. I would not recommend that anyone buy this toy. It will be a disappointment to your child.

All my 8 twin girls wanted for Christmas was this camper. I searched and searched for it and eventually paid an outrageous price for it. It was all worth it though to see their faces on Christmas morning when they saw it under the tree. However, the joy was short lived as the camper was a huge disappointment. It is SO cheaply made, the wheels don't roll so it has to be dragged across the floor. It doesn't close properly so it opens when you move it and all the teeny tiny pieces fall all over the floor. My girls played with it for half an hour but got so frustrated with it they put it aside and it remains in the place they left it on Christmas morning. I know they are so disappointed with this cheap product but it's nothing compared to the disappointment I feel. Mattel should be ashamed of itself. It's the same with the barbies - the legs, arms, heads fall off in no time. They also got one of the 3 musketeers barbies and the wand broke taking it out of the package!! Step up Mattel - think of the children!!

We purchased this Barbie Camper for our 5 year old daughter. As a child, I had the original one which was introduced in 1972.It was quite durable and in fact, my kids still play with it! I was hoping this new model would be a great substitute for mine.. which is now quite shabby.

I was so disappointed in this new camper. It is so flimsy and cheaply made. It is basically a million little plastic parts that un- attach with the slightest pressure. This toy will never hold to repeated play. I wish we had bought something else as this will end up in the trash bin before long.

Waste of money!

I bought this van for my girls ages 3 & 7 for their birthday last year and they are still not sick of this toy a year later. The van does come with a lot of small parts but my girls took them out and just play with the van. When other kids (even BOYS!) come over it's one of the first things they play with.
We have had no problems with the van falling apart, it is very durable. I just bought them the Barbie Jet for Christmas and hope we have the same luck as we have had with the van. My girls would give this van an A+... not a day goes by without them playing with it.

My Granddaughter loves this toy. Slightly annoying to have to place all the stickers on the camper. But she's well worth the effort. ;-)

My 4 year old loves this product... there are little pieces, but it is teaches her to pick her stuff up after she is done playing with it. Great Product Barbie :)

My kid gave me the title for this note. I like it because it closes up easily at pick up time and one can drop in all one's Barbie stuff inside.
