Review: Teamsterz My First JCB Parking Zone Playset, worth £12.99 (or 2 for £20)

Review by VIP Club Member Andreea Lazar

We were really excited to try the Teamsterz My First JCB Parking Zone Playset and it didn’t disappoint! My little one loves playing with cars and trucks of all sorts, and he often builds his own parking garages. This makes it such a cool addition to his imaginative playtime, and I can see how it will become a firm favourite in no time.

It came well-packaged in a sturdy box, with clear instructions and a sticker-pack, too. Assembly took about 10mins and was quite straightforward, no parts missing. It took longer to add the stickers than to put the whole thing together – they were a bit fiddly!

This 3-level playset is designed in bright colours, it’s lightweight and has chunky round edges – perfect for little hands! It features a working car lift that moves easily between the levels. Included in the set is a colourful, soft, lightweight and sturdy JCB digger, that’s easy to grasp and play around with. It can withstand being thrown about, rolls easily across both carpets and kitchen floors and, most importantly, is gentle on the skin (and teeth, heads, elbows, and any other body parts in a more enthusiastic play).

Being lightweight and sturdy it makes it easy to move from one room to another, or outside in the garden on sunny days, and cleaning it is also a breeze (no fiddly parts or tiny pieces to lose!) Another plus point is that it doesn’t take much space at all – ideal if your home is already packed with toys.

The only downside was that it came with only one JCB truck. It would have been lovely to have at least two included – making it ever more entertaining, offering more playful possibilities. However, my toddler used other cars that we already had about, and it was still super fun. According to the box, extra vehicles can be purchased separately – which is handy to know!

This playset encourages creative play, is great for practicing coordination and fine motor skills and promises hours of fun, giggle-filled adventures. A delightful educational toy that offers excellent value for money.

Overall, I would rate this parking zone playset 4 out of 4 stars and would happily recommend it for children up to 5 years old.

Pros: easy to assemble, lightweight, safe, durable, practical, compact, easy to clean. It’s fun, entertaining, promotes imaginative playtime, improves coordination and fine motor skills.

Cons: fiddly stickers (but you only need to do them once), only one truck included.
