My grandson, a 21/2 yr old, enjoys serving tea to his dinosaurs. And when he needs to expand energy, he gleefully pushes the cart through the kitchen-family room-hallway "racetrack". The cart & teaware are reasonably sturdy. However, the pretend boxes of cookies, sugar & milk are flimsy. Also, the lid to teakettle did not fit properly & we removed it to eliminate frustration. The tea trolley can double as a shopping cart or stroller for wheeling around stuffed animals. The trolley is taller in height for older toddlers who no longer need to use it as a bottom-heavy stabilizing push toy. All in all, it is a good toy for imaginative play.
