best toy garage

[lovecamping]

I'm looking for a toy garage for xmas present. something plastic that makes loads of noises, has a lift - you know the kind. the one that you hate but kids love to bits ... any advice and suggestions ???

We are going for the big ELC one for DS (2 next week) Will break my 'no battery' rule and probably drive me insane but he will LOVE it

This one was a huge hit with my 1 yr old nephew. His playgroup have the more expensive one which might be better for an older child, but he doesn't get so much out of it according to sil.

my dd3 (now 2.9) has really liked that ELC garage for about a year.

we have a fisher price little peoples one and for some reason it's not been a huge hit despite the fact that ds is hugely into cars (has been since about a year old and still is aged 4.5)

We are going for this one. Says its for 3-8 years and DS will only be 2 but it looks really sturdy (ie it will cope with him using it as a climbing frame ) and he loves his 4 yr old friend's one.

feetheart, i'm thinking of getting the elc one too, good value as well since u get 25 free cars. dd will be 2.5yrs and is a real tomboy..
