I was so excited to see this online.  We bought one for each of our grandchildren that are 11 1/2 months apart, girl and boy.  They love them.  I think their mommy was just as excited to see them as they were on Christmas morning.  If they are a gift, I would suggest putting them together prior to the event and either a bow or giant gift bag.  It does take a little bit of time to put them together.
