Cross-post from Around the House
In case you haven't seen my post in Around the House and have thoughts about my issue, I'm posting here as well (where this actually should be) now that there's some traffic over here.
I've thought about this before (and even posted about it before), but this time I am really going to do it. I'm going to get DS a firehouse for his 3rd birthday. (Especially because he says he wants a firetruck theme, it should be perfect).
I have 3 options that I'm considering. If you have experience with any of them, please chime in. General pros/cons that you can see even if you don't own them would be appreciated too. The only one I've seen IRL is the Ryan's Room one, so I need some additional info. TIA
By the way, here's my current thinking: I think I'm leaning toward the Kidcraft one because it's bigger, has a garage for the truck and has drawers that come out of the furniture (which DS seems to like at PBK). I like the "brass" pole on the Constructive Playthings set, but it's so hard to see what's there and it's the most expensive, so that makes me nervous. I really like the men that go with the Ryan's Room set. I'm thinking that if we need more fire fighters, I could supplement with the Ryan's Room firefighters. I love the cool tools they can hold.
