Vtech Toot-Toot Drivers Garage (124903)

Part of Vtech's range of toys for infants and suitable for those aged 1 to 5 years, the Vtech Toot-Toot Drivers Garage brings auto-mobile action to life. This brightly coloured pit-stop offers everything a car might need, from a quick clean in the car wash to filling up the tank with petrol. The set has numerous buttons and lights, as well as lots of sound effects and phrases. Cause and effect learning is part of the play and the set introduces counting, so little ones begin to get familiar with numbers.

All items in the Toot-Toot Drivers range are compatible with the Driver's Garage, though they must be purchased separately. There is one vehicle included with the set, a tow-truck, which is ideal for rescuing down down cars along the road and towing them to the garage for a pit stop. Once inside the garage there is a manual lift especially for bringing cars up and down between the two levels – once they are repaired they can whiz down the winding ramp, on their way again. Another moving part of the set is the exit gate of the Driver's Garage. It has a magic sensor and recognises the tow vehicle as it approaches, opening up automatically to let it in. This makes for an interactive and fun play experience.

Reviewers note that kids love pressing the buttons and delight in the music, sounds and lights, and that overall, the set provides a great deal of entertainment. 3 AA batteries are required and these are not always included.
