Do the gears come off easily? Doesn't that make operating them difficult for little ones?

This is one of the best toys ever! The gears come off super easy and go on just as easy. They are just plastic and after helping my daughter the first few times figure out how they go on, she got it. Great learning toy!

They do come out easily if pulled out, but that is part of the fun, they get to take them out and place them back in the pegs, you can instruct them to put the red in the red peg, etc. When they are in the pegs, though, they can turn them without them coming out while they play.

Yes, they come off easily, and no does not make it difficult. It is really cute, and they can spin all the gears around. Not a toy you can carry around, cause gears will fall off, but it is great fun. My grandaugher loves it. Great for learning colors too.

I've not had any problems. It has a slot to remove it is positioned in a way that to get it off you must lift straight up when the toddler seat is in the down position.

Yes. We purchases this product when our grandson was 2 and he was able to reach the pedals. He is now 4 and still loves it.

NO.... that is the beauty of the gears... My 2 yr old grandson LOVES to build different gear combos and make them "spin" with his finger (or with the little crank).

No, it is easy to play and my girls like to use it as an alternative to their baby grand sometimes. Only problem, is no foot pedals.

It comes off very easily if you know the trick-- so far my toddler hasn't figured it out, thankfully, but it is easy enough for an adult to twist the brackets and lift it out.

Since I had'nt done it since the installation, I just verified before answering, and it is very easy since the gearing system is disangaged. It takes a 2 pound pull only, kids can disengage the system easilly. Frank

No, they do not but my granddaughter did not have a difficult time removing the first piece. Good question!

Yes, my children have disassembled and reassembled this a multitude of times. If I had one complaint about this glockenspiel, this would be it. Amazingly, however, it has endured years of abuse by my children (purchased when my oldest was small, and now I have three). The pieces are very easy to remove. Even my then-16-month-old figured out how to take the pieces off the first time he encountered it.

Yes. It requires very little effort. My six and seven year old use it without issue.

As young as 3 or 4 on up. I think my youngest was 4 when he got them...and he LOVED playing with these cool gears. Easy for little hands and fingers to manipulate.

Yes, very easily. And, not all of the cars are motorized. My grandson just turned 2. He couldn't stop playing with this. The ramp was too difficult for him, though. The train goes up the ramp, but you turn a crank to help it up. He'll have to wait until he's older. We liked this so much that we then bought extra track and the fire station set. My grandson loves this product. I hope this is helpful to you.

I press in at the numbers and they come apart quite easily. My boys are 14 months now and can get the smaller ones apart. The *key* is to not nest them as balls. If you want to nest them within each other, don't snap the smaller balls together.

not difficult at all. It got to a point when my little one was about a year and she was able to unhook it herself from the crib.... it now sits on her dresser.

I have to make sure I securely hold the chopper down when pulling the string; I wouldn't say it's easy to pull at all, more like moderately difficult. I don't think it would ever break if you pulled to hard, the gears would slip first as they often do for me. Be careful with the string becoming hot as well, I burned my hand on it once without realizing it.

The back wheels snap on and off very easily with the push of a button. If the front one comes off getting it off is less intuitive.

The feet are easy to come off and on, but to do the whole weekly would be alot of work. The kids love it! We bought it for our triplet grandbabies.
