TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!
What It Is
The Tonka Roadway Rigs are sturdy, plastic, free-wheeling trucks that come in police, fire truck, and rescue themes. Each of the trucks has themed lights and sounds (three different sounds), and each comes with a trailer and a light-up sign that the trucks can tow to the rescue just like kids see in the real world. The Roadway Rigs Fire Rescue truck comes with a sign that says "Road Closed" and the Roadway Rigs Police truck comes with a sign that says "Checkpoint Ahead." Other Tonka Roadway Rigs trucks include Life Guard with "High Tide" sign and Construction with "Road Work Ahead" sign.
Why It’s Fun
There are few things that boys love to play with more than trucks. Some of the most popular trucks are police and fire trucks. The Roadway Rigs will inspire a lot of imaginative rescue play. Tonka has always stood for great, basic play and that's what the Roadway Rigs are all about.
Who It’s For
The Tonka Roadway Rigs are for ages 4 and up.
What to Be Aware of
Save the package insert because it has signs and roadblocks printed on it that an adult can cut out so kids can create a whole rescue environment.
Each truck requires six AAA batteries, which are included.
