Fisher Prices’ Big action garage is one of the best children’s garages I have seen on the market to date. Although a little pricey for a child’s toy at £54.97 it really is money well spent.
The garage comes in a box with home assembly required, this was a little daunting as the instructions came in an A4 booklet! However it took roughly half an hour to assemble and was relatively easy once I got going, everything you require is included with the exception of a Phillips screwdriver.
The garage itself comprises of a ground floor level with barriers and petrol pumps, the second floor level leads onto the long spiral ramp as does the top floor level. There are two ramps, a speed ramp, with a jump at the end, which cars ‘fly’ off, ( they really do....usually straight at the cat!) this ramp also doubles as a slide for my son!!! although I doubt this would be recommended, and a corkscrew ramp which leads from the top to the bottom.
There is a manually operated lift which tips the cars through the barriers and down onto the ramps, as well as a handy storage drawer supposedly for cars but my son has other ideas..........soggy chips and the like!
The garage comes with 2 cars and a tow truck as well as an extension piece for ‘hotwheels’ cars, handy as Mcd’s were giving them away with their happy meals not to long ago.
I am amazed at how sturdy the whole set up is, all the signs/barriers snap into place and are extremely difficult to remove once in place, so little danger of younger children swallowing them. It is also able to take a lot of weight, I know of an adult who has stood on it to hang a picture and it held out. It is also very heavy and therefore a child will not tip it over easily.
