Customer Rating:      Summary: A great low tech toy Comment: If you're sick and tired of every toy you buy your kids beeping and flashing constantly then this is the toy for you. The bucket contains an assortment of vehicles: a small train, several cars and trucks, an airplane, and a helicopter. Most of them snap together to form a train. Despite appearing cheap and fragile they are actually quite durable and can easily stand getting whipped across the room or at the nearest sibling (and they are light enough to not knock too many things off the shelf or break any glass). They are the perfect toys for travel because the individual vehicles are not small enough to easily get lost on a plane or in a hotel room and they make no noise and require no batteries (a huge plus). And it's refreshing to see my kids playing with something that requires a little imagination. All in all a good deal.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Still love after 2 years! Comment: I have an almost 3 year old and an almost 2 year old. These have gotten so much use, and they still look great. They get played with a lot. They are solid, but not too hard or heavy, and the wheels are rubber. So, they aren't as damaging as some other toys when they get slammed on the wood floors, or thrown at your toddler's head by your other toddler! When we need to take a toy with us (i.e. dr.'s office), I usually throw a few of these in the diaper bag because when we get home I can wash them easily. Recently someone gave us a few of the larger Viking cars/trucks and then we realized if you click the wheel on these to the higher position, the different sized cars are compatable! So now we can hook the trailer from the little set onto the dump truck of the bigger set. What a great idea! Definately a high quality, simple product.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Better than pictured.. Comment: We bought some of the slightly larger chubbies at a store and I've been looking for more. I took a leap of faith based on the above reviews and was rewarded. The tub contained:
2 boats
2 planes with propellers and wheels
1 helicopter
1 train
2 train cars
1 wagon
1 bulldozer
4 truck/cars.

So, they are not all the same car! Thanks Kaplan Learning Center! Another fabulous selection. My two year old will have an exciting easter! (I think we'll hide them instead of eggs!)
Customer Rating:      Summary: Bucket of wheels is a bucket of fun Comment: My 18 month-old grandson loves his bucket of cars that he just received for Christmas. His mom does too because they are easy to keep track of and easy to store. They seem very durable. The fact that they can be linked together like a train adds to the versatility of the toy.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Wow, what a great bucket of toys! Comment: My 21-month old son, Martin, just received this bucket of cars, planes, boats, trains, etc. from his grandmother, and he loves it!!! He loves to dump the bucket contents on the floor, to display all the toys. He then plays with each toy one at-a-time. When he is done with one toy, he throws it behind his head, and then reaches for another one. This bucket of cars, boats, trains, etc. keeps him busy for quite a while. Thankfully, these toys are made of a soft plastic so I do not worry about him throwing them because they don't damage my furniture or floors! I highly recommend this product, 100%
