We received this for Christmas for my then 2.5 yr old. He was definitely to young for it at the time. He's now 3 and 0lease with it most days. The only co paint we have is to make another car you have to take the car you just made apart. So he can't play with two cars together. We wish we could purchase more power blocks.
I bought this for my three year old and he was super interested but the app keeps thinking the wrong parts are going on and won't let him proceed. This use frustrating for me let alone a toddler. Also a block for each car would make a ton more sense as it only comes with one for three cars. Without the glitch it would probably be a great toy. If there is a fix I would love to hear about it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My son (4) loves this but when we got home and assembled it it’s missing a wheel to the red truck. This was the last one so we can’t return it for another one. Been trying to find where to get extra parts or something because my son is really disappointed that he can’t finish the one truck.

My grandson (4) loved this. I would highly recommend it. Was wondering if there are other accessories you can get so they can use the tools for other things besides just building the 3 vehicles.
I bought this for my grandsons birthday. Hands down, this is the coolest toy I’ve ever purchased! I raised three kids and have nine grandchildren so I’ve purchased a lot of toys! Even the older grandkids like playing with it. Some of the adults wish this was around when they were kids. Very impressed Gigi here in Texas. Job well done Little Tikes!
My son received this for Christmas and has not been as interested as I had hoped. The main block has stopped responding which makes connecting to the app almost pointless. If you do build the cars on the stand you can only build one and then have to take it completely apart to build another one. The cars also do not work like toy cars. The wheels don't move great. My son is almost 3, but can not put any of it together by himself. I struggled with some of the pieces because the holes were so tight and difficult to get the piece into the block correctly. The toys are good quality and he enjoys pretend playing with them. The sound effects are fun, but limited. There are other tool bench options for a fraction of the cost that would entertain kids more than this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This item is great for teaching reasoning and problem solving. My 6 year old grandson is loving building the cars. The app for using the blue prints falls short in expectations because when you are putting on a part, if it takes the child longer that the app allows to put it on, the app says "lets try something else" and won't let you finish. It takes you back to the beginning and you have to take the car apart and start over. you can't pick up where you left off. So my grandson is only using the paper blue prints and not even using the app or the block. I would recommend having each task have a "completed" button so it waits on you until you are ready to move on. Also, the ONLY tool that is needed to complete each vehicle is the phillips head screwdriver. My grandson was looking forward to using all the tools but they are not needed. I would recommend having other sets that can be purchased so all the tools could be utilized.
I did not purchase this item. I was originally going to purchase this set as a gift for my 4 year old daughter because she loves cars and trucks, Along with building and repairing things. Then, I saw your commercial that advertised that this toy was for your little boys to have fun with. It's funny, I didn't realize only boys were able to play pretend or dream to be engineers or mechanics. I am so disappointed in your company.
