Toy garage recommendations

Can anyone recommend a garage for my dd who'll be 18 months at Christmas? I'd like to spend around £30 which, if I buy new seems to give me a choice of the Fisher Price Racing Ramps or the Vtech Toot Toot one. That said, I'm happy to get a better garage second hand if there's any you'd really recommend?

Both DD's (aged 3 and 1) love the fisher price one. I got an extra vehicle set with it for Christmas and they have played with it every day since.

They also love the Little People Ark with the animals.

Thanks, I love a quick reply!

The fisher price garage was the one I first looked at but I was put off by some of the amazon reviews which said it broke too easily. Has yours lasted OK?

DS had the elc whizz around garage, but I've just had a look to see if they still stocked it and saw the vtech one - I think he would have preferred that tbh.

I think the ones for that age group are all pretty similar in terms of play value, I definitely wouldn't spend much more than you are planning to.

I don't know how you would break it tbh?! DD2 has been using it to pull herself up for ages. The lift sticks a bit, in that it is plastic, but it goes up and down - just needs a bit of force.

It still looks as new.

I've just sold my fisher price little people 1970's garage on eBay. It's survived 35 or so years of boisterous play. So have many others judging by the number available on eBay.

i was going to say fisher price too - when ds unwrapped his on christmas day years ago he promptly sat on it as he thought it was a ride on toy

My son has just been given a chad valley 'emergency vehicle' garage, which came with a few vehicles. I would not recommend it, as the ramps are really flimsy, can barely take any weight and I've had to fix the lift at least 5 times since Saturday. Cheap plastic tat imho.

OK, brilliant, I might go for the fisher price one then, thank you.
