Shopping for toy car garages doesn’t need to be as stressful as car shopping IRL. Here are a few factors to keep in mind to ensure you land on a quality product that will serve you and your toy car enthusiasts well.
- Safety. As with any toy for toddlers, safety is a top consideration when it comes to toy car garages. Avoid any made with particularly small parts (as they could present a choking hazard), sharp corners or edges (which could snag tiny fingers), or shoddy construction (to avoid any broken parts while playing).
- Age-appropriateness. As with most toys, toy car garages will frequently feature an age rating to help parents determine a toy’s age appropriateness. A good rule of thumb for toddlers, however, is a toy garage that features easy-to-manipulate parts (think large pulleys, easy-access ramps, and the like).
- Materials. Quality materials make for quality toys, and toy parking garages are no exception. Parking garage toys made with high quality materials like wood or steel are built to withstand hours of playing (and can be passed down from child to child).
