My 4 year old son received this game as a gift for Christmas from his grandparents.  It has been a huge hit in our home. All of my kids (ages 3-8) love playing it and will play for up to an hour at a time. My husband and I don't quite have their level of endurance, but will happily play it for 15-20 minutes.  The game can have up to 4 players, but can be played with just one if you get a little creative.  My kids play it by themselves regularly, when none of their other family members are available. The game does require assembly and disassembly teach time if you want to store it in the box, but it is simple to use.  The game uses batteries, but they are still going strong after three months of nearly daily use.  We have had it for three months and it gets played almost every day. I would recommend this game to anyone with young kids, we love it!

I bought this for oldest boy when he was two.  He is now Five and he has had a blast on it, my younger boy now three has beat it to death as well.  It still runs great after 2 boys, and almost three years.  Battery is getting weaker, but that is to be expected after being stuck in mud, a pond, and even rolled 2 or three times(Yes these can be rolled just like a normal 4-wheeler). Fun toy I would buy another one.

We bought this for our daughter for her first birthday, and from that day on she has loved it. She plays with it several times each day, and especially loves to kiss herself in the mirror. It plays 5 songs, and is interactive with the "instruments", but the best part, it's very durable. My daughter is pulling herself up to stand on everything, and this is very sturdy. It really is a great toy that is sure to entertain!

My son (6) and daughter (5) routinely use this during their play (about once a day, sometimes more). We have had it for over two years, and they never seem to get bored with it. It stands up very well to their sometimes rough play (you can't tell that they've had it for as long as they have). Now that my son is playing with smaller toys, I occasionally think that perhaps it is time to send it to a new home, but then I watch them play with it and decide that we should keep it around. This toy has been an incredibly worthwhile investment.

My son picked this out as a gift for my 3-year-old daughter (mainly because he wanted it for himself). It's been around our house for months and is in almost constant use. My daughter takes it everywhere she goes, including bed. My son, who is 5, loves it just as much and I wish I would have bought an extra because it's constantly being fought over.
Contrary to other posts that I've read, I want to make sure that others considering this purchase are aware that the leash DOES detach. Ours is constantly being taken off and on and has held up well for months.
We've managed to keep track of most of the little treats so far, mainly due to constant monitoring and rationing on my part. Like others have mentioned, it would be great if replacements were available for purchase. That being said, my daughter is quite fond of feeding her puppy our cat's food, which is luckily small enough that it goes right through without a hitch. She has occasionally "fed" it a few things like Lego pieces that got stuck, but I have been able to get them out with the help of some tweezers and screw drivers without causing permanent damage. I'm sure that at some point she'll stick something in that I won't be able to remove, but I have to give kudos to the people who designed this simple toy.
I didn't really read the instructions well when we received the puppy, and just recently discovered that if batteries are added it makes lovely, realistic sounds. I think it's charming enough without the sound effects, but they have just made the puppy even more thrilling to my children.

I bought this a decade ago. Initially disappointed because it is not the bullet-proof quality I remember as a kid but it has survived very well under some heavy use. Nearly everybody old and young loves to play this thing I think because it is active, combines skill and chance and younger players can beat older players. It is an engaging combination of skill and chance. My wife volunteers in a daycare with 5 and 6 year olds and periodically brings it to the classroom. Kids clamor for it for weeks afterwards.

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT tough, fun, durable, perfect size.

Passersby comment on how cool it is at night.

My daughter plays for hours with us. It's bright glow is awesome.

Bought a bunch of spare batteries, but the originals are still super bright after 3 hours of continuous play.

I'm buying the full-size one next for me to play with my wife!

My son and his friend play with this toy for hours on end. It is quite amazing really. Transformation possibilities are good and the programs are good too.

We are starting our third summer of using our Blast Zone Crocodile Isle water slide, and it is still going strong. This has been a great investment. We have four children, and we started using this when the youngest was two, and now our oldest is ten. They still love it! They are times we use this day after day. I am impressed by how durable this is, the fairly easy set up and take down, and just how much fun our kids and their friends have with it. The other day we hosted a Mermaid Birthday Party (see pins at https://www.pinterest.com/TianaJLof/mermaid-party/), and we had a dozen children playing on this. This kept them busy for the entire 1.5 hour party (easiest party I've ever hosted). Just a day before the party we had a minor hiccup when we discovered that the hose connector had cracked, which caused the garden hose to disconnect when we turned the water on. We easily replaced it with another from the local hardware store, good as new. And the break was entirely our fault, as we had not removed the hose from the water slide before stowing it where it was stepped on. This is a hefty price, but we figure if we can get 5 summers of use out of it, it's totally worth it.

Me and my child have a blast with this set. She likes it very much, and I believe that it will be one that we keep for many years, not a throw away I'm bored of it toy. She is learning to design mazes, races, and just has a lot of fun.

The smiles and laughs are worth it!

For being an inexspensive item, it is well made ans should last many many many hours of play.

We got this for my son to wear for Halloween last year, when he was 4, and it was great.  He and his little sister have regularly played with it in the mean time, so when she asked to be a knight for Halloween- too!- we bought a second set.  It's durable and well-made, and the foam sword has take a year's worth of hard play and it still looks pretty new.  I'm a big fan of Melissa and Doug products in general, and this product ranks as one of my favorites.
