As a gift after a long business trip this loading dock was a big hit for our little ones (under three years old): after a very short time he understood the mechanics and could itself "cargo" of Brio-wagons and trailers loaded onto docked trucks. Personally, I find that Brio has come up quite a great product here, which is very well thought out and have fun playing makes: by a magnet, the cargo is "attached" to the crane, when lifting this is suspended by a frame and automatically to the "slide" loaded. The highlight: A truck can side dock with the loading station (with the Brio-usual, reliable magnetic technology) and automatically moves the matter, if the cargo is carried by the slide means of pushbutton precisely on the lorry bed - great! The processing makes a very good impression, no chemical smell, etc. was observed. That Brio produced only in China, I personally find very unfortunate, but should not diminish the good review about this product. Buy recommendation!
