When we moved to our first house, I immediately went out and bought one of these for my 2 year old because every time we went to Toys R' Us all he wanted to do at the store was play with this toy. Now that he has it all he wants to do is go out in the front yard and drive it. We also got the gas pump and he loves getting out and filling up the gas and then driving some more. This is a great toy for kids and seems very durable, I definitely think it will last. However it was very very very hard to put together. One of the front yellow pieces would NOT fit in the red car part. My husband has to shave plastic off with his knive then cram it in there while I sat on top of the whole thing to hold it in, so he could then drill a screw through the outside of the back into the red car part. I would suggest paying the extra 10 bucks to have them put it together at the store.
