{"product_id":"safari-jeep-play-set","title":"Safari Jeep Play Set","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSafari Jeep Play Set — rubber wheels, which is the quiet one\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA solid wood jeep on rubber wheels, 17 x 9 x 8cm and 532g boxed, with four safari animals and two peg people — and every one of the six rides in it. CE and UKCA marked, tested to EN 71. Suitable from 2 years, and the packaging gives the range as 2 to 6. Of all the wooden vehicles we stock, this is the one that works on a carpet and does not announce itself through the ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🛞 Rubber wheels, and why that is the headline\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost every wooden toy vehicle rolls on wooden wheels, and we say so plainly on the pages for our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/classic-stacking-number-train\"\u003estacking number train\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/farm-tractor-and-trailer-with-bales\"\u003efarm tractor\u003c\/a\u003e: wooden wheels are loud on hard floors and they will not roll on a deep pile. Rubber solves both. It grips, so the jeep actually travels across a rug instead of being dragged, and it runs quietly on boards and lino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your downstairs is carpeted, or there is a baby asleep upstairs, that single difference decides which wooden vehicle gets played with. It is also kinder to skirting boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🦁 Six passengers, and all of them fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour safari animals and two peg people, and the jeep is built so that every one of them can ride. That sounds obvious until you have owned a vehicle toy where only two of the five figures fit in the seats and a child has to choose who gets left behind — which causes precisely the row you would expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoading everybody in, driving somewhere, tipping everybody out and starting again is the whole game at this age, and the counting of who is in and who is out happens naturally rather than because the toy is trying to teach anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🧒 It is a two-year-old's toy, which makes it the sibling buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe should be straight about where this sits: at 2 to 6 years it is the oldest thing in our jumini range and well outside the baby end of what we normally sell. That is not a drawback, it is what it is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great many of our customers are buying for a new baby and already have a toddler or a three-year-old standing next to them wanting to know what they get. This is a good answer to that — a proper toy for the older one while the baby has the soft things. If you are buying for a child under two, our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/wooden-safari-jeep-shape-sorter-toy\"\u003esafari jeep shape sorter\u003c\/a\u003e is the same theme from 12 months with shapes to post and no loose figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e⚠️ Worth knowing before you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix loose pieces, and a baby in the house changes the maths.\u003c\/strong\u003e Four animals and two peg people are small enough to ride in a 17cm jeep, which tells you how small they are. They are the whole point of the toy and they are also exactly the sort of thing a crawling baby finds first. If you have a younger one who mouths everything, this is a toy for the table or a closed door rather than the floor of a shared playroom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThings will get lost.\u003c\/strong\u003e Six figures and a jeep.

It carries CE and UKCA marks and complies with EN 71, the European toy safety standard covering mechanical hazards, flammability and the migration of elements from paints and coatings. jumini are a UK family business.

It is rated from 2 years and it has six small loose figures. They are the best part of the toy and they are also the sort of thing a crawling baby puts straight in their mouth.
