- Reviewed in Canada on April 7, 2025Girl or boy, it doesn鈥檛 matter, all of our grandchildren have loved things that go zoom. From fancy remote control cars and animals to the simplest push toys, as long as they zip about, they are well loved and played with consistently.
Now that our youngest granddaughter is spending more time sitting up and exploring the world around her, we鈥檝e started looking at toys which will entertain her. We suspect that she will love this! This set is the perfect size for little hands, the vehicles are easy to grip, and all the different sections of the track/play area are easily at hand. The elephant theme provides nice visual interest, the colours are bright and appealing and the friendly faces are all warm and welcoming.
The set offers a few options for play. The most obvious is the pair of ramps which extend along the length of the elephant encompassing both his trunk and tail. The cars fit the track nicely and zoom down quickly. I had been hoping that the trunk would provide a longer run for the cars but, sadly, the hinge does not have sufficient friction to allow the trunk to remain in the up position; to use it as an extended track it is necessary to hold it in place in an upright position. The top of platform over the elephant鈥檚 back is a handy place to store a car waiting for its turn. The lower track which runs between the front and back legs of the elephant is a small teeter totter; the cars can be prevented from entering or exiting it by lifting or lowering the baby elephant鈥檚 trunk. The cars are actually one of the highlights of the set; they roll forwards and backwards smoothly (even on carpet) and quickly and tend to stay upright. Two have moving accessories (a small hook and a ladder). They can be played with on their own and are small enough to fit in a child鈥檚 pocket.
The plastic is fairly heavy; I was initially concerned that it might tend to crack at the moving joint where the elephant鈥檚 trunk attaches to the rest of the structure but, so far, it seems to be holding up fine. I will note that getting the trunk section to properly engage in its seating is quite challenging and requires a fair bit of force.
Bright and colourful, this set offers simple play in a confined space. The cars work well and the elephant theme is aesthetically pleasing. I likely wouldn鈥檛 recommend it for those older than two or three given the limited play options. Depending on what other toys the child has, it would make a nice anytime gift.
