Hours of Fun
For my son's 3rd birthday we gave him this parking garage. He loves cars and I was concerned whether hot wheels type cars would fit on the ramp and couldn't find that information anywhere. You can see in the picture that there is a divider in the ramp...however most hot wheels cars do roll down it nicely. It's large enough that two or more children can play with it together and stay busy! We found it at Wal-Mart for about the price posted on Amazon. I had the "old school" version of this garage as a kid and it was sturdier. I don't get why modern has to mean weaker, but we're happy with this toy anyway. You have to assemble it and "snap" many parts together but it also uses screws which was important to us because my son enjoys disassembling (snapping) and breaking his toys. I know, that's awful.

Not Up To Little People Standards
I was very disappointed in this toy. The ramp constantly comes off, there is no place to put the gas nozzle when you are not using it, and the cars come off the ramp on the side instead of the front. I am used to the old version which was much better. The old one had a helicopter pad and helicopter, an elevator for the people as well as one for the cars and the ramp ended in the front of the garage which is much better than the side. Also on the new version, when the cars get off the elevator on the second floor, their is no access to the ramp. I expected more from Little People's because I enjoy their other toys. I just don't know why they changed the design. The old garage was much better.

My 11-month-old loves this toy.
... even though I, the mother, do not like the look of the toy. (It looks flimsy and cheap to me.) But it has certainly kept my 11 month old baby busy for a long time, day after day for a couple of months. He experiments by putting many different items through the spiral ramp, examines which items roll down and which do not. When something gets stuck in the middle, he tries to "debug". I think my baby gets a good training in three dimensional spatial modeling through this play. He also likes to drop things into the elevator stall. He them moves up and down the elevator, enjoying the bell sound and the movement. This is definitely one of his favorite toys at the moment.
