Melissa & Doug Service Station Parking Garage With 2 Wooden Cars and Drive-Thru Car Wash (SIOC)

The media could not be loaded. As a pediatric speech pathologist and a mom, I was pleasantly surprised that this was even more than I expected it to be. This was given as a 2nd birthday present to my toddler and was the star of the show; after all the presents were opened and given a test try, this is the one he came back to all day and is a reoccurring popular pick. It is a great fit for toddlers and older as some of my older pediatric clients (7-9ish) enjoy it.Features-sliding door garage/storage-car wash-elevator lift-3 marked parking spots-ramp down with a parking attendant/gate-gas pump (shoe string) *this is the feature that I did not know was included and is a HUGE hit with the toddler*-3 cars with holes for the gas pumpPros- no assembly or batteries required- great durability, made from thick wood- ease of use for all features is appropriate for around 2 year olds+ (my toddler is able to manipulate all features independently)- superb fine motor opportunities- GREAT INDEPENDENT PLAY- my toddler will play with this for 20+ minutes at a time- opportunities for creativity and imagination-y toddler has found unique ways to play with this each day.I am a huge fan of melissa and Doug toys for both my children and the kids I see in speech therapy. There are always so many little features to promote language, speech and cognition development. This one has opportunities to count, label colors, talk about opposites (up/down, open/close, un/availability)Also, I bought the car hauler from Melissa and Doug to accompany this gift and it is the perfect height to unload the top layer onto the top of this garage toy. (I paid full price for both of these toys, this is completely unsponsored, just a fun little tidbit of information)

A well thought out toy. There are multiple ways to play with it in a relatively small footprint. Good quality and has held up good under toddler use. Recommend!

We love this versatile, sturdy toy. We’ve had it for about a year now and it’s held up to a very rough 3 year old playing with it almost daily. He uses it as a house, a barn, a dragon’s lair, and the obvious carwash and gas station. While it’s designed for little wooden cars, it’s a great size for hotwheels/matchbox cars. It’s fantastic value for the money I spent. My son has even stood on it a few times, with no problem. The parts have all lasted and the paint still looks vibrant. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone with a kid who likes cars that doesn’t want a house full of plastic junk! 10/10

Melissa and Doug toys are always a great choice in children’s toys! Super cute! My granddaughters loves anything to do with cars! They played with it for days always ask where the car station is? A lot of things to do on it like parking, getting gas, and car was. Superr cute! So happy I got it!

One of my kid's favorite toys. Keeps them entertained for a long time! Best for kids ages 3+ in my opinion

My 2 year olds favorite toy! Great quality!

My kid loves this thing. It’s going to give him tons of solo, screen-free play time. Very cute that it’s a gas station, car wash, and garage. However, the quality is lacking. Some parts don’t line up (see pics) and there’s excess glue squeezing out in some places — and in glue smeared places where it doesn’t belong. So while we love the toy, it doesn’t feel like Melissa & Doug quality.

I bought this for a just turned 2 year old.He loves it!He had a grand time moving the cars up and down the lift,sending them racing down the ramp,and shutting them up in the garage.He also figured out the gas pump and that the hose fits into the little cars for filling!Oh, and there's a car wash, though I'm not sure he realized what it was, but it was fun to move the sliding lever!There are LOTS of little movable parts for little fingers to move about!The handle on the top makes the toy portable as he was ready to go!The toy is pretty sturdy and will be enjoyed for years to come!
