Melissa & Doug Car Carrier Truck and Cars Wooden Toy Set with 1 Truck and 4 Cars 5.75" x 12" x 3"

The media could not be loaded. As a pediatric speech language pathologist and a mom of 2 littles, I have thoroughly enjoyed this car hauler. It was an instant hit with my 2 year old (24 month) and is frequently played with.Quality- Constructed with a thick wood-pieces cohesively move together, can be moved one handed-consistent paint color all around- I would rate the durability as a 5/5Functionality- Comes with 4 M&D cars- Hot Wheels are a frequent passenger on ours- easily transitions from "driving mode" to "unloading mode"-can unattach the front truck from the trailer-Goes along really well with the M&D car wash (see video)I am very pleased as the education value of this set, the speech, language, and cognitive learning opportunities are never ended. While playing with this, we talk about colors, speed, movements (up, down, forward, back), jobs etc. I bought this during a prime day and feel like it was a great value for the money. It seems like it will hold up a long time and I imagine would be a relevant toy for the ages 2-10ish.

My Grandsons go right for this toy every time they come toy house (which is practically every day)It is well made; stands up to mild child-induced mayhem. It is colorful and JUST the right size for 3 year old little hands.

Colorful, easy to clean, kids can be creative

The media could not be loaded. My toddler loves playing with this on the road carpet we have. It’s held up very well. I love the wooden aesthetic and the educational fun it provides. I’m also a huge Melissa and Doug fan so this is an additional toy I recommend.

I absolutely love Melissa & Doug toys. We have bought quite a few over the years and the quality never disappoints. I really love wooden toys because my younger son is a very destructive child and he breaks everything! Wood and strong plastics hold up the best when it comes to him so I buy him a lot of the wooden Melissa & Doug toys. This particular one was purchased for him for Christmas. He loves playing with cars and trucks and when I saw this, I knew it would last longer than his cheaper plastic ones. With his cheaper cars and trucks, the wheels were always coming off or doors or other parts were always getting broken from him slamming them together and making them "crash". This set has held up incredibly well even with all of his rough horsing. It's been a few months now and nothing has broken. I have read a lot of other reviews that state that theirs broke rather quickly and easily. We've never had that problem with any Melissa & Doug toy thus far. They still have some wooden vehicles that we purchased a few years ago and they are still in great shape with just a few knicks in the paint. Overall I love this brand. I dont really like that its made in China but a lot of things are these days and it can be hard to avoid. I would recommend this toy to others.Please click the helpful button if you thought my review was worthwhile.

This is a great size for a two year old whose obsession is cars and all things go. The details are amazing and vibrant. The colors are stunning and the details are great. Love that it’s wooden, will hopefully last us a long time. It’s light enough that the kiddos can play with it and enjoy their time. Small enough that it fits well in their hands. The trucks ramp moves smoothly up and down. The cars roll on to the ramp smoothly as well. We haven't ran into any issues with pieces coming off or paint chipping.ProsWoodenAbout the size of Die Cast or biggerVibrant colorsWodden and plasticHolds kiddos attentionThe creativity is brilliant and bright

The Melissa & Doug Car Carrier Truck and Cars set is fantastic! My child loves playing with the sturdy wooden truck and colorful cars. It’s perfect for imaginative play and helps with motor skills. The quality is excellent, and it’s a hit with my kids. Highly recommend for hours of fun!

To cut to the quick, this toy is ideal in that it(1) is durable(2) has sturdy moving parts(3) inspires a kid's imagination(3) requires to batteriesOur 2½ year-old is infatuated with movement of this trailer's top rack. The designer has taken something complex and boiled it down to its essence, and it blows away the junky plastic car carriers that are available from other brands and that I coveted as a child (they never measured up).The four brightly colored cars are durable wood and pin-axle construction, and they fit on the wooden train tracks available from Ikea and the Thomas line of wood trains.The tractor-trailer arrangement of the truck is a simple wood peg design, adding another element to this toy's intrigue. It's about the closest thing to unbreakable we have in the "fleet" and, although it's smaller than many of the other dump trucks and tractors available to play with, this one is seeing the most use.A slightly larger version of this toy would *probably* be appreciated (just a hunch -- on behalf of my son), but on the flip side, the small, narrow cars are easily loaded onto other toys (airplanes, helicopters, flatbed trailers, dump trucks) that it integrates well into the general scheme of play time.
