I asked my mum to buy it for Abby's first birthday. She's played with it on and off, but is really into it at the moment.

I think it's definitely

and I think it comes with 3 cars.

I bought the Little people one while it was on 20% off, it looks similar to that one. Hoping Del will like it!

Nooooooooooo, its a pita. Ive taken it back 3 times as the sodding thing doesnt fit together properly. The orange tower bit doesnt clip onto the green top part and if they lean on it it falls over, and they fall ontop if it.

Ive had a real rant at ELC for selling a crap design. Ours is NO-Nailed together.

Save your money and buy somat else.

We've been looking at garages for J for christmas and this one I've definately discounted.
1 too expensive, other similar ones are much cheaper
2 have read reports about it coming apart easily.

We have looked at the little people one too. Am very tempted by that one.
However, we are considering a wooden one but most are not suitable till 3 years so it may wait till next year.

OK, scratch the bit about it being expensive, just seen its reduced. Wouldn't pay £37.50 for it

Now this surprises me as we have not had any problems with this - and Abby is very rough with her toys. I actually think it's a very sturdy piece of kit. I do think it's over-priced though - but my mum bought it

AG that little people one looks great

& hadn't heard of reports of it coming apart

Thanks!

We have the other garage from ELC and that falls apart too. My LO can easily pull it apart and if he leans on it, it breaks up which is a real PITA.

That said, he loves it, so I think we will use Annes idea and No Nails it
