Develops fine motor skills and object permanence
By K. Drake
We bought this for our 19 month old to take on a plane trip as the "new" toy to entertain her when needed. She *loved* playing with it through the entire trip. it's a bit big for a carryon, but we fit it in. It is now a car toy that gets swapped out upon occasion with others. The back of the puzzle says 4+, but I think it's a good challenge for younger children. There are 2 latches that she needs adult help with because they are too tough to move. I'm sure she'll grow into those with time, though.

My almost 3yo can now do all of the latches on this puzzle-has been able to for several months, now.

Fabulous--but be careful!
By book lover
I bought this for my son was he was 14 months old, he is now a very inquistive 3 year old. Within a few weeks, he had mastered it (except for the one lock that is hard to turn). It is wonderful for practicing dexterity, and great for travel. The only thing is, once they master this puzzle, they can then open all the locks and latches in your home--which can definitely be a safety hazard!

By A Customer
My daughter LOVES this toy. She got at christmas time and unfortunately, by new years eve we noticed the little pegs in the doors were coming loose. Now, we keep finding the little gold pegs all over the house. We watched her play with it and she doesnt pull them out....they just seem to come loose from the regular opening and closing. Very disappointing but she still plays with it rather the door shuts well or not. We just have to make sure she doesnt get ahold of them.
