Read this before you buy.,
This toy has limited interest for my son. I bought it for him when he was 18 mos (he is now 2). He occasionally plays with it for maybe 5 minutes at a time. If you put it on a smooth surface (table, hardwood floor) it slides around when he tried to turn the wheel or pushes/pulls the gearshift. Also it is very LOUD and I find the tone of voice kind of rude: On the horn: “out of the way”, on the gas button “fill er up” – but the tone of voice isn’t nice it sounds like a rude little kid demanding that he be listened to….NOW. Except for the police button which says “slow down little fellow” the rest of them sound like spoiled brats! Not recommended.

|Outta’ my House!,
At first glance it seemed to be the perfect gift for a baby with a thing for all things wheels and musical. AND normally I really trust the Vtech name – so I didn’t look at the item too closely prior to buying it. But it didn’t take long for me to realize what a mistake I made. Yes, he likes it very much and uses it well, and it performs well etc. However, I will agree that there is NOTHING nice about how the voices speak or what they say – and I would never think that I would have such a ‘prudish’ view on a baby toy! But it is rude, it is obnoxious and I don’t like the message – if you can say that there is one – I mean – they could have had much more endearing snippets. There is little education in it really – and the songs are short the lyrics to the ABC song is half cut out?!?!? I could do without having education in a toy – but that coupled with the bad attitude – I have one thing to say “Outta’ my house”
The older version of this toy is MUCH better with friendlier voices and helpful ‘neighbors’. Vtech should go back to the old version.

|decent driving toy,
I bought my son this driver when he was about 7 months old. At first he loved it. It makes all sorts of entertaining sounds for a baby. His favorites were the shifting sounds which he could easily activate (by moving the gear shift). He also loved the radio button especially when it played “Are you driving” (it is the brother john tune). While my son loved the noises this thing makes, I find that they can get very annoying, especially since the low volume is very loud.
After a few months, my son lost interest in this toy. He still plays with it occasionally, but it is no longer a favorite. At almost a year, he still never actually “drove” the toy. Perhaps once he learns to do this, he will regain interest in it. When the wheel is turned, the rollers spin. When they stop, the toy says one of three phrases about the pictures that show up. For example, “green square”, “two bees” or “b is for bee” is said when the roller shows a picture with two bees and a green square. This could be educational once my son gets a little older.
One thing my son did learn to do pretty quickly was turn the toy on and off. The switch is sort of like a key in the ignition. It is very securely attatched though. I like that it is easy to turn so that my son can work it by himself. Most toys I have to start for him. Overall, I think I got my moneys worth. $15 dollars is a decent price for a few months of daily entertainment, even if my son never takes to it again.
