 Racing Ramps of Fisher PriceFeb 13, 2010
Extraordinary game for kids over 2 year, my boys love it and could spend hours playing
Love it!Feb 10, 2010
I bought this garage for my 2½ year old son for Christmas. I am glad I did despite some of the negative reviews because we love it. The cars go down the ramp great. My 4 year old daughter even uses it as a slide for her Loving Family people who go down nicely too. The ramp does occasionally snap apart just slightly on the top turn but only takes one second to fix. We haven't had any problems with our elevator like some have. Also I would like to comment to everyone who complains that there is no access to the second floor or gas pump holder that you are thinking like adults not children. They do not care. We think this is a great toy!
 Not as good as the 70s/80s versionJan 30, 2010
Too much curly ramp and it exits out the side, elevator gets stuck on everything, gas pump is useless, middle floor is pointless and overall not very stable.
My in-laws have the old one from when we were kids in the 80s and our kids like it better, the elevator has a crank to turn and it throws the cars down the ramp and back out the front to the child, it also has color coded parking spaces on the top for some educational value!
 lots of funJan 29, 2010
my 2 year old son got this for Christmas and LOVES it. It has great colors and doesnt need batteries (well except for the tow truck, but it also works without them)
I dont understand other people saying it comes apart, you need to read the instructions and use all the screws so that it stays together.
I also had this garage when I was younger and think the old model is more fun, my son thinks this one is great. He likes to put gas in the car and shoves all his other cars down the ramp too. Although the elevator is a little to hard for him to do on his own it doesnt phase him.
Bottom line I would recommend this to any kid who likes cars.

Not perfect, but still a kid-pleaserJan 12, 2010
My car-loving 18-month-old son got this toy as a Christmas present, and both he and my 4-year-old daughter love to play with it. While I do find some merit in some of the complaints described in other reviews, overall my opinion about this product is favorable. Below are my thoughts on some of the issues brought up in other reviews.
It's true that the ramp tends to fall apart. But ours doesn't actually "fall apart" in that the pieces don't come apart entirely. There is one section of the ramp that comes unhinged, but it stays attached and doesn't affect the ability of cars to go down the ramp. My kids don't complain, so I just re-attach it whenever I notice it's separated, and it's not a big deal. However, it does occur to me that a younger child could possibly get his/her finger stuck in the cracks.
It's true that the end of the ramp comes out on the side of the toy, not the front. However, I don't consider this a negative thing. I like it. The structure is relatively large, and at least two kids can play comfortably around it. The ramp opening up on the side actually provides for more active play for the kid who doesn't "get" to play with toy from the front side.
It's true that the gas pump doesn't have a proper resting place, which is kind of annoying in an aesthetic sense. It just hangs. However, the hose is quite short, so it's not like it gets in the way of anything.
It's true that the elevator bell's ring could be described as lackluster, but with so many toys that make so much noise, it doesn't bother me if this bell doesn't ring loudly.
It's true that there is no way for cars to get from the second level onto the ramp. This strikes me as weird and of poor design, but my kids aren't bothered by it at all.
Some reviews complain about the functionality of the elevator, but both my kids have no problem maneuvering it. It doesn't move "smoothly", but it moves easily, and it does stop at each of the three levels.
So, it may be that I just have lower expectations for big plastic toys, or perhaps I am not as invested in this toy as others might be because I didn't pay for it, but despite all the things that could be construed as negative, I think it's great. My kids are happy with it, and they're the ultimate judges.
