One thing I like about this bus is that it moves only by kid-power, not a motor or wind up, so it can't go too fast and bump into things. It tends to engage the kids in more quiet play, rather than some of the motorized toys that zoom around the house. Also the noises that it makes are not too loud.
This toy has paid for itself in terms of the amount of use it gets. If I could only afford one Little People toy, I'd choose the Farm, but the bus is reasonably priced and the kids love it, so if you can afford it, get it!My three-year-old son loves this school bus. He likes to load the kids on the bus and make the bus driver talk and sing songs. He has learned empathy by helping the little people with disabilities (with the wheelchair) on and off the bus. It is good exposure to the idea that not everyone is the same. However, it was shocking to have to describe that to a, then, two-year-old. One of the first questions he had that I really had to think about the best way to answer. Other good features are the stop sign and two doors that open and close.
Buy Little People: Beeps the Bus Now
I got my nephew this bus for Christmas when he was 18 months. He likes to dance to the music the bus plays when you push down on the bus driver. He likes to open and close the door on the bus and take the people out. The good thing is that the driver doesn't need to be sitting in the seat for the music to play, so if he is "missing" you can still have the bus play music. There are two doors to open and close, and a stop sign on the side of the bus pulls out as well.Adorable music, lights and sounds from this toy-keeps the kids glued to it for long periods of time.We bought this for our now three year old, who loves it, but is having to get used to sharing it with his 1 year old sister. This toy gets played with often throughout the day every day, so I definately think it was a good purchase. I like that it it teaching my daughter fine motor skills when she puts the people in their seats. We've had it for almost 2 years now, and it has held up very well, and doesn't show any wear. The music and voice is a little annoying, but my kids love it. I am suprised with the age reccomendation though.
