I was so excited when I came across this toy. My 3 year old son loved the farm version of this toy when he was younger. I have 18 month old twins who also love the farm version, so when I saw this item I thought this would be a perfect addition to our refrigerator toy collection. It is educational and entertaining. However, Leapfrog changed the materials used and this “car wash” is not as sturdy as the farm we have from three years ago. The magnet isn’t very strong so the toy slides down the refrigerator door. This frustrates my children since they enjoy working on the puzzle while standing. I now give the toy to them while they sit in their highchairs. They enjoy making matches and the vehicles are quite cute. Overall, I still like the toy since it encourages problem solving. The music is also cute and isn’t too loud. From recent pictures I’ve seen of the farm, it looks to me as if it is different from the version I have so I am not sure that the problem I described is limited to this variation of the toy.

Got this toy for my son’s 1st birthday. He has the farm version at his Nana’s house and loves both toys! He carries them around, drops them frequently and pushes the buttons over and over… No problems. Neither one has slid down the fridge in the slightest and both take a beating and keep working great. I do like the voice on the farm version better but think the car wash one has more educational value since it says more information about each vehicle. Overall, I think it’s great!

We have only had this toy for about a week, but have had no problems as in the other review. The toy has not slid down the fridge at all/no problems with the magnet. We, too, have the older version of the farm, and the newer versions of these toys ARE lighter and seem to be possibly less durable because of this. I guess time will tell on durability, but so far, this toy is exactly what I would expect (but I saw it in person, and knew it was lighter). I hope it holds up — my older versions of the LeapFrog fridge toys have been favorites, and have taken a beating, but still work fine.

So we have the Fridge Farm, it’s a good toy, our daughter loved, it, we thought we’d get this version for our son. He loves it, the thing is, the songs are annoying. The farm version sings songs like Old MacDonald and whatnot. The song that goes along with this one is a tad painful. Having said that, my son sure doesn’t care, he cracks up every time he plays with it. So I’d say it’s a solid buy, but if you were choosing between this and the farm, I’d get the farm.

My son is very obsessed with anything that has “wheels” so when I saw this at Target, I knew I had to get it for him. I looked around a little, and the price here was good. He opened it up on Christmas and promptly yelled “wheels!”, and I knew I made a good choice. Half the time it isn’t on the fridge because he’s carrying it around the house with him. It’s slightly different from the barn animals one they have available in that you can put 2 mismatched pieces together and it comes up with a cute name for the “new” vehicle. There’s 2 different volume levels, a button that just plays a song, and when you put the vehicle together in the magnetic area, it identifies it by color, congratulates you for making a match, and sings a little song. My son absolutely loves this toy.
