I bought this toy 3 months ago on the recommendation of my 11 month old twin sons' occupational therapist to help with their fine motor skills. I could not believe how much they love it. Now that they can stand and pull toys from the toy box they always grab this one. I agree that it can be a little dangerous, as one boy fell forward and got a nasty scratch. Although they like playing with the wheels, the cart is not necessary, and I am thinking of ditching it since the corners are sharp.

Great toy to pull, build with the blocks, and to learn letters and numbers. Very durable and fun to use.

I had similar blocks when I was a child and purchased these for my first great-grandson this past Christmas (2007). He immediately went for the string to pull around his blocks and really loves playing and building things with these blocks. He also enjoys putting them away in their own little wagon. These alphabet/number blocks have been around for over 100 years and continue to be loved and enjoyed generation after generation. They encourage the child's creativity and learning. Who could ask for more?

I like wooden toys for kids. This they can stack, learn colors, balance, letters, start learning short words, fitting them back in the wagon, and the fun of putting other things in the wagon to tote them around. Cats fit will too. Blocks are always a great sorce of imagination play.

My 20 month old daughter loves pulling the wagon around. She even puts her other toys in the wagon and pulls them around. The blocks have all kinds of pictures on them, not just letters and numbers. Great for learning more than just letters, numbers and colors. The blocks seem pretty durable but so far my daughtethe did not have desire to "eat" them. May not be too good for younger babies or children that mouth everything. The wood is kind of soft.

At first I was a little disappointed because the set was smaller than I expected. But after watching my daughter play with them, I realized they were just the right size.
