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.

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

We saw this toy on our way out of Toys R Us, it was at the customer service counter because somebody had returned it. That alone should have been reason enough not to buy it. We came home and put it together only to discover what a total piece of junk it was. However, once we ditched the ramps my son really enjoyed the main portion of the toy that has all the buttons and stuff. We kept it for that reason alone. He does play with it, so it wasn't a complete waste of money.

I found this on sale at Target and bought it for my then 1 1/2 year old. She liked the concept, but none of the pieces of the ramps would stay together. After a week of frustration, I donated it to Goodwill. There are so many better toys out there that I would not waste a dime on this one.

I have to admit, I read all of the negative reviews and purchased it anyway.
This toy is a piece of junk. Aside from agreeing with the other reviewers who say it falls apart and is basically useless as a "garage", our particular toy came out of the box already broken. It doesn't make any sound. Unfortunately the receipt is long gone and I cannot return it to the store. Such a disappointment for my boys, too, because they were so excited by the picture on the box. But I absolutely ... Read More

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.

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.
