One day not long after Christmas I was in my local Woolworths store with my then 6 year old daughter. There in the middle of the store was this huge box with a big sign saying reduced................. Oh no my daughter had spotted it. It was 'The Bratz Pad' reduced from £199.99 to £99.99.

Advantages: nice design, good remote, children like it
Disadvantages: too many batteries, not so cheap

...owner of substantial number of Brio train collection pieces (rails, bridges, trains, wagons, traffic signs, buildings, animals, trees...). All of them were pretty static unless moved manually. This was his first battery operated vehicle and on top of that it has remote control. I thought that would be a good opportunity to stop him playing with various remote controls for adults.

Advantages: Easily folds up, the characters are good.
Disadvantages: Your children will get fed up with it.

The furniture that comes with it is quite small and the dining room chairs that are with it can barely fit daddy pig on them.

My daughters really struggled to play with this toy as when they tried putting george ...

However they do still play with the actual figures: mummy pig, daddy pig, peppa pig and George. These are a decent size and haven't got small bits that can fall of them . Overal I expected this toy to be better with more to do and bigger in size the only really good thing about it is that the house folds up so is easy to carry and everything ... Read review

...purchased them, the body of Bertie is very easy to squeeze and always causes delight when he squirts the water back out again, especially if he happens to be aimed at Daddy! Because there are no small parts I would even be happy to let a younger child play with Bertie and his pals, while they may not be able to use the toy for it's squirting purpose they would still be able to hold it, even squeeze it and experience the different feeling and texture ...
