Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Four familiar friends invite preschoolers to explore this adorable garage. Pull the cars up to the Bert gas station; then ride the Elmo elevator to the top. The platform tips forward so the cars can race down the Cookie Monster speedway ramp or enter the Ernie car wash ramp. Fun phrases from each character accompany all the action. Requires 3 "AA" batteries, included. Measures 7.75"L x 19"W x 9.25"H.

Amazon.com Product Description:
Ideal for ages 18 months to 4 years, the Giggle N Go Garage is a playset with all your child's favorite characters, including Elmo and Oscar the Grouch. Featuring a car wash, pump station, and car elevator, this toy fosters imaginative play with fun phrases at every turn.

Setup and Design
With bright colors and popular Sesame Street characters, this adorable playset puts a smile on any child's face. All the pieces snap right into place and the instructions are clearly written so parents can get it up and running in no time. Once the garage is built, kids put the cars on the elevator platform and pull Oscar's head up. When the elevator reaches the top, the platform should tip forward, sending the cars down the ramp. However, instead of in one smooth motion, the Elmo and Cookie Monster cars require a push or two to get past the first curve. Another slight drawback parents should note is that the frame must be handled gently and might not stand up against rough toddler play.

Car wash, pump station, and car elevator snap together quickly and easily. View larger.

Colorful ramps bring the cars into the different sections. View larger.

Fun with Sesame Street
Not only does this garage have all of the usual features enjoyed by young racers, it also incorporates some of Sesame Street's most beloved characters. With googly eyes and wide grins, the cars are miniature versions of Elmo and Cookie Monster. Boys and girls can race their cars down the Cookie speedway ramp or the Ernie car wash ramp, then gas up at the pump station. And the hose really fits the gas tank! Fun phrases accompany all the action and generate giggles from the youngsters. For quiet play, parents can shut the playset off with the on-off switch on the side.

The Test Drive
Overall the Giggle N Go is a great toy for little kids, but some basic design elements could be improved. For instance, the cars are too wide and instead of rolling right down the ramp, they need a push to get past the first curve. The cars also sometimes prematurely roll off the elevator platform. But once you hear Elmo say, "Time for an oil change," in his sing-song voice, you will forget about this playset's few weaknesses. It reaches its target age and engages kids for hours as they race cars down the ramps again and again. The Giggle N Go Garage measures 7-3/4 by 19 by 9-1/4 inches and requires three AA batteries.

Pros

Fun phrases from Sesame Street characters
Two ramps for racing
Elmo elevator brings cars to second level
Hose really fits gas tanks

Cons

Cars are a bit too wide for the ramp
Poor construction makes it difficult to move set around
Cars can roll off elevator prematurely

What's in the Box
1 garage, 1 small ramp, 1 support frame, 2 support arms, 2 circular ramps, 1 gas pump platform, 2 cars.

- fisher price should be ashamed
Just got this as a gift for our twin 19month old boys. We were as excited as they were - until we tried to put it together. I cannot believe Fisher Price produces such junk. None of the parts pop in as they should. Absolute complete waste of time, money and plastic. Now, we'll have to spend time calling the company to make good on the this - after reading these reviews, we'll ask for a voucher instead of the same toy. Do not purchase this product.

- THIS IS CRAP!
I got this as a gift for my son. It fell apart so many times we eventually just threw it away. The tracks literally just fell apart and wouldn't stay put. My son was 2 at the time and was not being destructive with it. It is a TOTAL waste of money.

- GREAT for the Elmo lover!
I was very apprehensive receiving this toy after all the negative reviews.
I am so glad we got it! My son is 18 months and LOVES ELMO!
One thing I made sure to do after reading reviews and REALLY snap the pieces together firmly. There are a couple of pieces of mine that dont attach firmly but they cause no issues. One is the little Green ramp that goes under the the big ramp. And the 2 legs for the big ramps. Personanly I think my son loves pulling them off and it takes 2 seconds ... Read More

- What a disappointment
We bought this toy for our son Christmas of 2007. I always like to unpack the toys before we wrap them and I couldn't even get the toy to stay together. I returned it and picked up another one, and it stayed together so I wrapped it. When my little boy, then 1 1/2 played with it on Christmas, it fell apart. The ramps do not stay on, and the support legs are virtually useless. This was the same problem for both toys. Our son still liked it so we kept it, but it is really a cheaply made toy, which suprised ... Read More

- Who doesn't love a good Sesame Street toy?
Bought this toy as a gift last Christmas, and it is still a favorite. It doesn't have much educational value (sorry Sesame Workshop), but it is a good fun toy that promotes play. Each character's section has a little touch pad, and when the car (or a hand) comes down over it, the character says a silly little phrase. The sound quality is great--not like the exorcist toys I grew up with in the 80s. Seems like a simple toy, but he enjoy it and it keeps his eyes off the TV, so that's good.
