Editorial Review
It's a three-alarm blaze of fun for youngsters with PlayHut's Twist 'N' Fold Fire Engine, another in their imaginative series of quick-to-assemble, spring-loaded, collapsible nylon mesh configurations. Here, a bright red, 49-by-24-inch, stylized rectangular fire truck replica, almost 3 feet tall, forms itself from the apparatus which, fully folded, fits into a bag no larger than a grocery sack. The only assembly required is to attach the nylon rear door (complete with a replica of a fire ax) and the inflatable steering wheel to the Velcro toggles on the main structure. Unfortunately, the included printed matter barely mentions these two extra pieces, leaving assemblers guessing as to how to attach them. The steering wheel is a no-brainer, but the back door panel possesses one toggle and there are four possible loops for it. Parents might also be annoyed by the fact that the foldaway instructions are twice as lengthy as those for setup. --Tony Mason

5 out of 5 stars Excellent toy   November 30, 2008
J. M. Pena (Kansas City, MO)
I'm an older mother, and a grandmother! Bought this for my son when he was not quite 2-years old. He is now 2 1/2 and I have a granddaughter that is one year. They play in this all of the time. They have been rather rough with it and it shows no signs of wear or tear. I even get into it at times and play with my son. Love the fact that it packs away in small places. Great toy. Not sure where the one review mentioned plastic top, our's is of nice quality nylon in and out.


3 out of 5 stars Great fun but TERRIBLE QUALITY   September 28, 2008

My children love this tent but just 3 days after we bought it, I noticed two holes in the tent. I called and had a new tent sent out to me, assuming this one was a dud. When we received the new tent, I opened it for my kids and one of the metal pieces used to structure the tent, flung out. So, I examined the tent to find out where the piece came from. I found several places where they didn't complete the stitching for the seams so, the metal pieces were ready to fling out in several places plus, I found a small hole. My children love playing with this tent, it is lots of fun but so poorly made! I know it isn't possible that I have bought 2 duds! I paid $20 for this tent which I thought was pretty reasonable for something that my kids had so much fun with but I don't think it is worth paying $20 for something that is of such poor quality with holes in it and pieces that come apart. I am so disappointed!


4 out of 5 stars Great play tent for the price   May 12, 2008

I bought this play tent for my 3 year old nephew and he loved it. It folds up to literally nothing, so it can be stored any where and not take up space. For the price I don't expect this to hold up forever and after 6 months he has already lost some interest in it, with getting new toys for his birthday. Also, my nephew is rough playing in it (along with my older nephews) and it has developed some rips but it was well worth the $20.00 I paid for it.




4 out of 5 stars Imagination play is utilized   May 2, 2008
T. Henderson (OH United States)
The fire engine was bigger than I expected. It does take a lot of space in the house but my 3 year old loves it. He walks around carrying it with him like he's driving it. It can be folded so it is only 1/2 the size which is more reasonable for inside play. My 1 year old also enjoys trying to get in and out of it. I am happy with this purchase.


5 out of 5 stars great buy   January 20, 2008
C. Bailey
This is one of the big hits of christmas in our house. It was bought for my 2 year old, who loves it but my 5 year old also loves to hide out in it. It folds up flat so it's easy to put out of the way when your tired of it. Will be purchasing some of these for birthday's. Great buy
