Customer Reviews

Fabulous toy for kids who like to take things apart
My little guy got one of these when he was 3, and a year later now, it's still one of his favorites. I haven't found another toy car that is so toddler friendly, and gives them complete control at the same time. The materials used are very high quality. We plan on buying a few more so he can interchange the pieces.

Almost as fun as "Radiator Springs"
I surprised my 3-year-old grandson with this toy when he visited. It was hit! And his mother liked it as well. She appreciates educational toys, and this car is like a puzzle. My grandson is all about cars and can play with them for hours. This toy was a nice addition to his "fleet of cars." It is well made--a work of art!

Sturdy, smart, fun toy
I bought this Automoblox toy for my 2 1/2 year old son for Christmas. He loves it. He still needs a little help to take the pieces apart and put them back together, but I think within a few months he'll be able to do it alone.

In the meantime, it has merit just as a car toy alone, as it can be pushed along and rolls well. And although it can be taken apart, it doesn't fall apart on its own, even during fairly rough toddler play. It's very solid and sturdy; the quality seems excellent to me.

But what makes it really great is that it can be taken apart (into eight pieces plus four removable passengers, each with a different shaped base that can only fit into their identically shaped slot) and put back together. And I believe the pieces are interchangeable, so when I get him more Automoblox cars in the future, he'll be able to construct his own original vehicular inventions.
