When I bought this product, I needed to buy for my 5 yr old nephew for Christmas and it was a screaming deal here on Amazon. I didn't research it at all and nobody had written a review. My concern was this: I hope this is not one of those toys that don't latch and fall apart when the kids try to play with it. The back does open and close 4 ways all latching at the same point (the 2 sides, back and top). I decided to open it and put only the the truck together to see how well it transformed. To my surprise, it latched nicely. I did notice that sometimes you have to push the sides together a second or third time in order for it to latch, but didn't consider it a drawback once I observed my 7 year old (who sucked it in on his tractor beam) "testing it out". I noticed that even when the sides aren't aligned and latched the way intended, it is only open a hair and he was still able to play with it without it once popping open and/or the sides flipping out. Some toys you have to sit and fight to get it to latch in order to play with it without it falling apart or flipping back open. This one is well made. It flips open when prompted and stays closed even when not latched. The only possible frustrating factor in my opinion is that if you hold the truck up vertically, sometimes the weight of the car inside will push the back open and fall out. My son doesn't carry it around that way so it's not a worry here. It does have several parts that are interchangeable from the car to the truck and also blasts missiles, so a younger child may not enjoy it as much as say my 7 year old- who's hands I have yet to pry it from. Which is just as well since I was unable to completely disassemble it in order to put it back in the box. He thinks it is the coolest thing and has played with it using his sound effects for 2 days now.

Toy has a lot of small, brittle plastic parts. My nephew loved it, but it won't take any kind of rough play. My feeling is that when a child is old enough to not break it, they'd be too old to want it.

My son received this for Christmas. It will not stay together and the small parts get lost easily.
