Does this make a good toy?

Not for a Toddler, the prop and engine cowling come off easily and could be a choking hazard. If it is like a 5 year old or any child who does not put things in their mouth, it would be fine. Its made of Die cast o they can drop it and it will be fine.

It's in between toy and hobby, my 10 year old played with it and it stood up pretty good to abuse. But shell is made out of styrofoam, so not much to repair if that is damaged. It's fun for sure, and lots of online stores sell parts.

Yes! Absolutely! Ours was purchased for a two year old and has been used as an indoor toy. It is still in perfect condition even after used a great deal by two little ones.

Yes and no. It is essentially a model with some degree of detail that looks pretty good on a mantle. As a toy it is very functional but fragile as it cannot handle rough play. In my opinion, it is more of an underdeveloped model that is functional as a toy for an older child.

It is more like a toy. I don't think it is meant to be used for anything important. It's made of plastic

Absolutely. I bought it for my daughter shortly after she turned 1 and it's the most played with toy in my house!

Ours fell apart right when we got it. It's been played with once and broke! So I would say no.

Absolutely!!!! My daughter is now 5 and loves this toy. Wish I had gotten this for her when she was 2 so she could have enjoyed it more!

Ours broke. But to be fair we did get it for our 5 year old. I wouldn't suggest using it as a toy for a child.

Yes i think so - it's pretty squishy and durable - great for the price. I saw a friend today and her 4 yr old running around with the same one.. It seemed great for his little hands

I bought it to the my daughter when she 2. She is 4 now and I am think would play with it. However when I bought it didn't last long and it was due to the construction of the car. Not how it was played with. Now if the toy is made better your 5 year old might like it. It was soft so it wreck the house. I hope this helps.

As fun as this thing looks, I would say they would love it. You just have to make sure they aren't too tall for the toy. If they are tall I would think their knees would be too close to them off of the pedals and it may be uncomfortable

I think your almost 5 year old would love it. It has play value beyond the age suggestion and would help spur your almost 5 year old into different types of imaginative play. My youngest great-nephew, who is 4, loves it. But his older brother, who is 7, loves it too and together they play happily for a few hours. If those 2 high energy boys can actually play together for a few hours, it makes me believe the toy has lots of play value. I hope this helps.

Absolutely! My 7 month old loves it right now. I think he stated playing with it at around 5 months.

I believe it would entertain the baby. My twin girls loved this from day one. They loved the bar that rolls easy to start the light and the love the music. It has been one of their favorite toys for both of them.

Hi Jeanne, I think so. I've bought it for my little baby, but I have other child (3 years old) and he plays with this toy too!!
