4 out of 5 stars The kids like it!   November 24, 2008

This was a gift for my son's first birthday (Three weeks ago). He plays with it everyday and his nearly three year old sister plays with it too. The chunky pieces are great and the music/silly songs are short and sweet. Babies love to dance and rock out to music! My son takes this off the fridge and carries it around with the handle. He has dropped it several times but it still works perfectly (cross my fingers it continues to do so). I had not noticed it sliding down the fridge at all until after I read the first review on here. It slid a little once but for the most part it does stay put. The main points: It has been durable so far, the kids like it, I am glad I bought it!

We have only had this toy for about a week, but have had no problems as in the other review. The toy has not slid down the fridge at all/no problems with the magnet. We, too, have the older version of the farm, and the newer versions of these toys ARE lighter and seem to be possibly less durable because of this. I guess time will tell on durability, but so far, this toy is exactly what I would expect (but I saw it in person, and knew it was lighter). I hope it holds up -- my older versions of the LeapFrog fridge toys have been favorites, and have taken a beating, but still work fine.

I was so excited when I came across this toy. My 3 year old son loved the farm version of this toy when he was younger. I have 18 month old twins who also love the farm version, so when I saw this item I thought this would be a perfect addition to our refrigerator toy collection. It is educational and entertaining. However, Leapfrog changed the materials used and this "car wash" is not as sturdy as the farm we have from three years ago. The magnet isn't very strong so the toy slides down the refrigerator door. This frustrates my children since they enjoy working on the puzzle while standing. I now give the toy to them while they sit in their highchairs. They enjoy making matches and the vehicles are quite cute. Overall, I still like the toy since it encourages problem solving. The music is also cute and isn't too loud. From recent pictures I've seen of the farm, it looks to me as if it is different from the version I have so I am not sure that the problem I described is limited to this variation of the toy.
