My son is very lucky as he has lots of aunties and uncles who get to spoil him . At the weekend one of his uncles bought him this Fireman Sam engine as he knows that my son has become a big fan.

~The Fire Engine~
The fire engine is called Jupiter it comes with 3 figures , Penny, Tom and Sam. Jupiter is made out of a strong plastic apart from the doors but I will talk about that later. It is of course red in colour, it has a yellow articulated arm called a Simon Snorkel which you can turn , and extend , fireman Sam can even stand on the platform and then when it is not in use it can lay on top of the engine . There is a ladder which is hidden away at the back of the engine it took me a few days to find this! The grey compartments on each side of the engine are just there for show but the supports on each side do work. Jupiter is friction powered , you can open the doors on the cab and even put the figures inside. On top of the engine you will see a red button if you press it you will have sounds such as "Great fires of London" , " ready , steady, go here at the fire station" ,and beeping noise with flashing lights.
Underneath the engine is an on/off switch I would say this is handy to switch off when you have had enough of the noise but my son knows how to switch it back on!, there is also a battery compartment
~What Do I think?~
I don`t know if anyone has noticed but the quality of some of these toys lately seem to be poorly made. The fire engine is made out of strong plastic but I do not think the doors will last long especially the way my son plays with it , they look very flimsy I am having to tell my son to be gentle when he opens the doors! My son cannot pull the supports out on his own and even I have trouble, he does get a bit annoyed that he needs my help with this. The figures are very well made each of them are wearing their uniforms and they really look like the characters from the tv show, my son loves playing with these and will put on a funny voice for each of them!
Age 3+ Price £14.49 in Asda , you will also find it in Tesco`s and Amazon

We didn't get Harry many toys for Christmas because we don't like to spoil him, and he has lots of toys anyway! This wasn't actually a Christmas present for him, we actually purchased this in the sales after Christmas at a bargain price, and I think it's from this toy that his FiremanSam obsession has arisen! I think it is the toy he has played with most since Christmas and doesn't actually like going anywhere without it (which is how we ended up losing one of the little figures, although Harry doesn't seem to have noticed!).
