| Fire Engine Playset |
It's a three-alarm blaze of fun for youngsters with PlayHut's Twist 'N' Fold Fire Engine, another in their imaginative series of quick-to-assemble, spring-loaded, collapsible nylon mesh configurations. Here, a bright red, 49-by-24-inch, stylized rectangular fire truck replica, almost 3 feet tall, forms itself from the apparatus which, fully folded, fits into a bag no larger than a grocery sack. The only assembly required is to attach the nylon rear door (complete with a replica of a fire ax) and the inflatable steering wheel to the Velcro toggles on the main structure. Unfortunately, the included printed matter barely mentions these two extra pieces, leaving assemblers guessing as to how to attach them. The steering wheel is a no-brainer, but the back door panel possesses one toggle and there are four possible loops for it. Parents might also be annoyed by the fact that the foldaway instructions are twice as lengthy as those for setup. --Tony Mason

| Fire Engine for Two |
| Nothing gets a kid's attention like a fire engine racing by, and now here's a bright red version that's pleasingly kid size. The Fire Engine for Two is bright red, 31 inches long, 32 inches tall, and made of tough and rugged plastic. The ignition key turns with a satisfying ratchety sound, the steering wheel rotates, and the front wheels are entirely mobile, making quick turns and sudden reversals a snap. It's powered, in the best Flintstones tradition, by your little one's feet moving under the seat, and there's an extra seat in back for a friend to ride along. Like any proper emergency vehicle, it also has a siren and flashing red light, located right on the dashboard, that activate with the press of a button. Whether it's an emergency run to the cookie jar or a doll that needs a trip to the hospital, the Fire Engine for Two will get a couple of kids going in a hurry. --John Longenbaugh
