Fisher-Price TRIO Fire Station Review

My 4 yr old son received this for Christmas 2009. He has the large beginners TRIO set. My son is ahead of most kids in in building/mechanical skills dept.My father in law is an engineer and always marvels at his abilities. That being said my son is a LEGO master. TRIO are nothing like LEGOS. I cannot stress that enough. They remind me of Kinex for younger kids. TRIO not only has small blocks that only snap one way (unlike legos where there are multiple ways to stick them together) they also have these rods that take alot of patience and strength to fit the blocks together. That is the whole selling point of TRIO. That you can build little bugs,fences, and ferris wheels that look a bit more realistic than Legos. And you can.
The TRIO Firefighter set is only an extension of that. It is not really a toy to play with on its own unless your child has and LOVES his TRIO beginner set. It is like when you get a special Lego set. you have to virtually use every piece in the box to make what it is your child is supposed to play with. Again if your child likes TRIO it is ok. I am just not very impressed with TRIO as a whole. My son gets more frustrated than not if he tries to play with them alone. He likes his dad to put things together. He will request "a garage" or something. With Legos he builds himself. Not a great toy to try out if your child has not played with TRIO at perhaps a friends house already.

Kid Galaxy Dyna Rides Nano Racer Review

Kid Galaxy Dyna Rides Nano Racer
Average Reviews:

Bought this and the nearly identical micro cruiser for a 7 and 5yr old, respectively as gifts (only the cars and bodies are slightly different, otherwise they are identical). NOTE: If you need more than one, buy the micro cruiser in addition as each one operates the same frequency: "A" (nano racer) or "B" (micro cruiser). No batteries are required as you crank a "generator" for power. Cars are fast and resposnive (on a smooth, clean, flat surface), but only last for about three minutes on a charge...your kid will get plenty of exercise, LOL! One car stripped it's drive gears and the axles are flimsy....you have to be very careful with these as they are not too robust....no dirt or carpet racing for these puppies. I had to return one out of the two and dissapoint the 7yr old as it broke almost immediately....stripped drive gear(s). At least Amazon took it back and is going to replace it, but it is not very sturdily made (in China, where else?), and it's not exactly cheap for what it is.

Cruncher Prehistoric Pets Interactive Dinosaur Review

I actually have no little kids in the house (mine are all grown now). I bought this guy as a goof, and for something my dog would play with. He absolutely goes crazy every time I "fire" up Cruncher. This thing is absolutely unbelievable... It is interactive, and after a while you believe it is real yourself...so funny. I can't wait to have grandchildren so they can play with Cruncher, but until then, me and my male Yorkie will have a blast goofing around with him. Seems durable, but I would not let little ones play with it unsupervised.

Cruncher, Mattel's newest interactive Prehistoric Pets dinosaur, roars to life the moment you turn him on. This feisty little pet has a huge personality and reacts to petting, feeding, and sounds with a variety of lively movements and noises. Recommended for children six years of age and older, Cruncher can be trained to do tricks and produce sounds, and even plays fetch with his included fish toy. A wonderful companion with a frisky attitude, Cruncher's interactive abilities make him an engaging toy that fosters creative, active play.Part Robotics, Part Prehistoric PetCruncher's exaggerated features and striking details help to captivate a young imagination. His big eyes, pointed teeth, colorful skin, spiked collar, and stout feet with large black claws enhance Cruncher's tough, ornery image. Small wheels under Cruncher's belly enable him to move quickly and are synced with his arms and legs to enhance the animation of his movements. Cruncher's head swivels left to right while his jaw opens and closes, and his soft rubbery neck stretches and wrinkles with each movement.Cruncher's durable construction out of soft and hard plastic help to protect electronic components and ensure that he will endure longs hours of physical play. Cruncher is powered with five C batteries that are inserted on the underside of his belly next to the on/off switch. Rubber-coated surfaces on the wheels, feet, and tip of the tail help to keep this four-pound Prehistoric Pet upright during his animated play.Speedy movements, snapping jaws, and flailing arms make Cruncher a formidable friend. Although he has a mind of his own, Cruncher's command collar can be used to select between different modes of play and to control his movements and actions. There are eight available play modes ranging from playing catch to dancing to following verbal commands.The included fish "chew toy" is designed to res
