Awesome, April 22, 2010

My 3 yr old loves to take these apart and put them back together in various combinations. Toys are sturdy, but do note that the rubber tires will rip after awhile. Still one of the better built cars out there and a nice complement to McQueen and friends and the various RC cars in my son's collection.

These are amazing little cars. My 2 yr old son received them for christmas and loved them so much that we got him another pack for his birthday. My four year old daughter and six year old son love them too. They will be getting one in the easter baskets. Lots of time for creative play.

       my introduction to the world of automoblox, February 24, 2010

Never played with one before I bought this set of 3 mini's for my 2 year old son for Christmas. He's maybe a little young to do anything than play with them as cars, but my 4 year old daughter loves rearranging the parts to make mutant cars. I think it's a lovely idea & a good experiment in design. The cars are really well-made; very solid feeling and the wheels have a very fluid, controlled movement to them. And they're just so colorful & almost whimsical. They're a fun toy for my children, and stimulates innovation.

       High marks for simplicity, durability, and interchangability, February 22, 2010

My son (3.5yrs old) simply loves these vehicles. They are sturdy enough to have stood up to his abuse for over two months of nearly daily play (quite a feat for any toy to survive and keep his interest that long). By keeping the design of these cars simple and allowing the (somewhat limited number of) parts to interchange, his imagination for different vehicle assembly keeps him playing with these for long periods of time. It is in my opinion a plus that the number of parts is limited because too many parts could have made reassembly difficult for a youngster, this has not an issue for my son - he in fact has come up with some interesting combinations. At times I wished the tires didn't remove so easily from the wheels (mostly because they could go missing) but I really have no complaints about the product. Since the tires and wheels are small and do come off fairly easily I would not give these to a child that puts things in their mouth, our son has never put things in his mouth (other than lots of food) so we haven't worried about this - but it could easily be an issue. So far we haven't had to use any of the additional wheels supplied with the set but it is a nice bonus that they come with it. Overall I give this set high marks for simplicity, durability, and interchangability... he will receive more for his next birthday.
