Melissa & Doug Wooden Emergency Vehicle Carrier Truck with 1 Truck and 4 Rescue Vehicles

The media could not be loaded. My 2 year old absolutely loves this toy set! Melissa & Doug toys are generally very high quality, but this one takes the grand prize, in my opinion, in terms of visual appeal and fun. It's colorful and thoughtfully designed. For example, the carrier has grooves cut away for the wheels so the vehicles don't roll off. The helicopter rotors spin freely and are fun to twirl.I wanted to give my son this for months, but had to wait until Christmas. He loves car carriers, trucks, police cars, and fire engines, and it's even more special because he can say all the names of the vehicles in this set. (He just learned helicopter.) Separately, these vehicles are all cool on their own, but what if one toy had it all? This is that toy. Imagine it through the eyes of a toddler getting this as a gift. Never mind him. I'm 41 and I love it as a display item!Best of all, it's wooden (with some plastic parts for the wheels). Too many toys are plastic, and we want our son to have as many wooden toys as possible in his life. The wood is perhaps pine and not lacquered , in order to maintain a natural appearance. Because it's real wood, you may get some variation in the coloring of the pieces like I did.One more cool thing that my wife discovered -- the vehicles fit on the Ikea 300.643.59 LILLABO 20-Piece Basic Train Set and vice versa! The interoperability of the two sets is unexpected and makes us even happier. The Ikea train set is a fantastic value at $10. The M&D vehicles all fit through the tunnel too except the helicopter. I've included some photos with the Lillabo set.If you want a bigger toy, there's also the Melissa & Doug Mega Race-Car Carrier - Wooden Tractor and Trailer With 6 Unique Race Cars but we think the size of this carrier is perfect for a two year old.Sorry for the poor video quality. Amazon compressed it too much and it looks terrible.

Always a great gift for kids. Made well and hours of fun CC

Durable and cute wooden toy. This has been a favorite for the past six months! My son plays with it often, either as a set or individually.

Such a good quality toy - never disappointed with Doug & Melissa toys!! Totally worth the money!! Real wood!!

I purchased this item for my great nephew for his birthday. He absolutely loves playing with it.

My grandson loves this toy! It is a well made wooden toy, very sturdy, and has taken many bumps without breakage. It is a great size for little hands to maneuver around the house. He likes the variety of trucks and especially the helicopter.

This was a hit with my 2-3- year-old grandson. That boy is crazy about all things with wheels. lol

Like the old days built good will be here for my grandsons grandkids
