D.A.Y. Republic UK 1:40 Scale Emergency Ambulance Toy With Flashing Lights & Sounds, Friction Powered Play Vehicle, for Boys and Girls

Great toy, son loves pushing it around the room

Annoyingly realistic sound (not too loud fortunately) but kids love it. It’s wellmade and so detailed! size is just right and it does it toy job well. great value for money . We got it over year ago and still works fine

My grandson loves this ambulance

Why did you choose this product over others?: Good play value. I give these to distract and award my small ambulance patients. If you're lucky you'll get an example with an echo on the sirens. One star off because the opportunity to include an opening door was missed which have made it perfect. That said, batteries are replaceable and they will need to be!

Exactly as expected

Sent as a Christmas gift for my grand son who was very impressed with the sirens and very durable.

This D.A.Y. Republic Ambulance toy is a major disappointment. While the scale and basic features seem appealing at first, the overall quality falls short in several ways. Firstly, the build quality feels average at best. It doesn't seem like it would survive many bumps and crashes during playtime. Secondly, a major drawback is the lack of opening doors. Many similar ambulance toys allow for opening front and rear doors, which adds to the play value. This toy doesn't have that feature, limiting imaginative play. But the most frustrating aspect is the use of non-replaceable button cell batteries. These batteries reportedly die within days, rendering the lights and sounds (the main selling points!) completely useless. This design choice is incredibly wasteful and frustrating, especially considering the batteries can't be replaced. Overall, this toy is a letdown. The build quality is questionable, the lack of opening doors limits play, and the non-replaceable batteries make it a short-lived experience. Save your money and look for a better-designed ambulance toy with features that will actually last. It's pretty frustrating that I bought two of these. I should have gone for some other brands !

I have bought this as a present so I haven't taken it out of the display box. Therefore I am unable to check how well it moves. The plastic is sturdy enough and I have been able to test the sound and lights, which are great - loud/bright and realistic. Very pleased that the markings are British green and yellow and not white and red like so many on the market, which is confusing for little ones when you are trying to teach them to recognise emergency vehicles. Overall, very pleased with my purchase.
