According to the packaging, this toy is for 1- to 4-year-olds (which means the Amazon's "choking hazard" warning may have been a generic one placed on every toy page). In addition to the school bus itself, you get Carlos the driver, Maggie, Michael, and a small "wheelchair." One interesting thing with all these Little People toys is you always get a mix of races in the characters, probably a way to instill political correctness in young children early on.

Pressing down on Carlos (or whoever is in that hot seat) allows the toy to make some simple sounds. I think there's little variety here, just 3 or 4 different phrases. The wiggly-wobbly action is so basic that it bored my kids after about 3 seconds, so they chose to ignore that part from the beginning. But otherwise both have fun with the toy, with the older one making up stories about the characters, which is exactly why I bought this in the first place.

I am a little concerned about the build quality of this made-in-China toy, though. Both the side door and the back door can open up, but the hinges are flimsy so I think the doors are going to break any time now. Also, as with other Little People vehicle toys, the characters don't sit in the slots well, so they tend to fall out even when the bus is rolling on a flat surface.
