Fisher-Price Little People Melody the Mini Van Review

What's with the Mini Van?
I'm a firm believer that every little girl deserves something pink. My daughter loves cars and finding "girlish" cars is harder than most people think! When I located the Fisher Price Melody Mini Van, I knew it was coming home with me...

Melody the Mini Van is a 4 four piece play set. It includes a pink and purple plastic van. The van is 8 inches long, 4 inches high, and 5 inches wide. Melody has a smiling, friendly  face, and her eyes move up and down when the tires roll. The van has no windows or working doors, so the dolls just "plop" in. The trunk opens and closes on hinges, and the interior is made from purple plastic. There are three chairs for "Little People" brand dolls to sit in. Sadly, the passenger seat is empty since Dada was excluded from this set...Melody does come with a Mommy figure, a cute baby, and a green stroller, all of which are difficult to fit in the van.

..."Turn the beat around"...
Melody Van has a small music button in the center of the dash. When pressed, the button plays "road tunes". Songs like; "Wheels On the Bus", "London Bridges", "If You're Happy and You Know It". There's also cute sound effects like horns honking, engines reving, and laughter. Too bad they left out the real noises, things like "Road Rage" "Aggrivation" and "yelling"... My daughter adores her mini-van and she loves putting the figures in their seats. The pieces are difficult to maneuver inside the vehicle, but it's never stopped her from finding creative ways to cram them in. Do we love Melody Mini-Van? YES WE DO! But be advised, there's NO off switch for the repetitive, soon to be annoying, sound effects.

I will NEVER be a mini-van mom, but for now, I'll let my daughter have this.
