Fun toy!

My kids love Chase’s new police truck. There are quite a few things this truck does keeping them engaged and playing for a while! My youngest (2.5) finds the trailer difficult to open but it doesn’t stop him from enjoying play time with it. Overall a great toy.

Chase Rescue Truck - Launches projectiles

Let's note that first we are talking about PAW PATROL. This is the words uttered by every child these days.

The CHASE RESCUE TRUCK comes securely packaged and will need adult assistance to open.
The truck inside comes with Chase figure which fits in the drivers seat in the front and also on the platform when the truck opens.
There is a launcher inside which launches plastic sticks (comes with 2).
Note: As a precaution, teach the child that it should not be aimed at any other child in play.

The instructions are very simple and mostly picture oriented.
No where does it say what exactly the sticks that shoot out are supposed to actually be.
Not sure if that is in the cartoon itself or not.
Once you show your child where it goes and how to shoot it, it really does not matter as it becomes the goal to get it into a cup or hit the target.
Again, not sure if it really goes as part of a "rescue" toy but it keeps the children engaged.

The truck is compact and when the back opens upwards to reveal a platform for Chase to sit, 2 secure spots for the 2 launch stick and the closed launcher.
The truck when extended opens the launcher to launch position. The sticks are insertable to the launcher where it clicks.
When the launch button on the launcher is pressed, the spring loaded

The launcher is spring loaded and fairly weak so the sticks will launch about 1 foot up and 2-3 feet forward.
The launcher does not swivel but the truck can be angled to change direction

Children can have hours of fun trying to aim at set targets and using their imagination playing with this Rescue Truck

Remind the child to put the sticks back in the truck after every play. These are small and should not be left for other small children to potentially put in their mouth.
Additionally they can be easily sucked up into a vacuum cleaner and if lost the launcher is useless. There are only 2 provided with the Toy Truck.
More should have been provided (Ideally 4 to 6).

It's recommended for 3 an up. I would say maybe 4 is more appropriate.

Fun for Paw Patrol Lovers

My 2 year old and 4 year old are huge Paw Patrol fans and loved receiving the Big Truck Chase. It occupied them for awhile as they took it on an adventure with the other pups we already owned. They enjoyed how the truck “transformed” and loved playing with the hidden projectile launcher. The only con was that the trailer roof doesn’t fasten securely and would often fly open, which frustrated my 2 year old.

Lots of fun

My 5 & 7 year old both enjoyed it - especially launching the rockets at each other
The roof hatch feels a bit flimsy and in fact fell off once but was easy to put back on. They’ve asked for me to buy the rest of the collection
