There
are certain toys that my children tend to gravitate towards and want to play
with daily. A tried and true favorite are cars. My children love to play with
cars, they play with them on our car mat, on the coffee table, under the
kitchen table, and now they play with them on the VTech Go Go Smart Wheels
Garage.
VTech
sent us a Go Go Smart Wheels Garage to help facilitate this review, regardless
all thoughts and opinions expressed here are completely my own and may vary from
others. As a mother of two little boys, I am a firm believer that you can never
have too many cars. We play with cars everywhere.
I love the toy tow
truck that comes with the Go Go Smart Wheels Garage, it is adorable. It lights up
and plays music and when my boys hear the tow truck start to sing they stop to
dance. It is too cute!
I am
a fan of how easy it was to set up and start playing. All of the pieces fit
together easily and no tools were required. It even features SmartPoint
technology {meaning the play set can sense which toy is being used on it when
it passes over a SmartPoint location and it can respond to it}.
If it’s
educational, chances are I will enjoy playing with it and interacting with my
children with it. This toy is no exception. I really like the educational
aspect that the Go Go Smart Wheels Garage brings to simple imaginative car play
time. Asking things such as observations on the weather to color
identification, this toy goes beyond the simple vroom vroom noises of car play.
I
like that there is an off switch. It may sound silly, but I like that I can
turn off the sound if I want to and have the garage be quiet. You can even turn
off the toy tow truck vehicle. This is especially important with a sleeping
newborn in the house!
My
favorite thing about the Go Go Smart Wheels Garage is the fact that the fun
doesn’t have to stop with just the garage. You can build on this playset by adding
more play sets and vehicles.
Something
to be aware of is the fact that the helicopter landing pad does not click and
lock into place, this means that it is easy to detach and can come off when
being played with or moved. My oldest thought it was quite funny to take this
off and use it on the play rug… his brother was not amused. This has been
played with non-stop since we got it out of the box.
My
younger son has already put in a request to Santa for the Airport Playset and
the Train Station Playset. My oldest has asked for a shopping trip to pick up
another vehicle, since the Go Go Smart Wheels Playset only comes with one. He feels
that it would only be fair if there was one for each of them to play with. I
would have to agree, so I guess a shopping trip for some toys is in my very
near future.
