‘Super impressed’ cry mums as The Range launches sand pit car at almost half the price of Amazon’s version
Who doesn’t love snapping up a bargain?
It’s even better when it’s something that keeps the kids entertained without costing a small fortune.
Let’s face it, buying toys can get expensive fast, which is why mums are raving about a fantastic find that’s perfect for outdoor summer fun – and it won’t break the bank.
One savvy mum couldn’t wait to share her discovery on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK – a wooden Car Sandpit from The Range that’s got parents buzzing.
She posted a photo of the toy, which is ideal for little ones to enjoy in the garden during the sunny months.
She explained: “Super impressed with this wooden car/digger sand pit from The Range.
It’s available online for £49.99, which is already a good price, but was £39.99 in my local store.
It comes with a ground sheet, fitted cover, and has a moving steering wheel + built-in storage space.
My car-obsessed little boy is gonna have lots of fun with it this summer.”
This deal is much cheaper than similar products being sold elsewhere.
For example, the Big Game Hunters Car Wooden Sandpit, with similar features, is currently listed on Amazon for £73.99.
Unsurprisingly, mums are going wild for this affordable version now available at The Range.
The sandpit is packed with features that are sure to delight little ones.
It includes a steering wheel and bench seat for imaginative play, while the car bonnet opens to reveal a spacious storage compartment for keeping toys and accessories neat and tidy.
It also comes with a weatherproof cover to protect it from the elements and ensure the wood lasts longer.
Plus, it’s designed with secure panels to prevent sand from escaping and is easy to set up with its sturdy prefabricated design.
The post received plenty of attention, with 19 likes and mums rushing to the comments to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “Good for 40,” while another added: “Definitely, I thought it was a decent deal even at £50.”
What to watch out for when buying toys online
HERE are the British Toy and Hobby Association's top tips for buying toys online:
- Shop early. Don’t leave purchases to the last minute rush which might leave you fewer options of where to buy from.
- Check out third-party sellers. Look for sellers you recognise and trust. Be cautious of retailers you don’t know and do your research checking reviews and where they’re based.
- Go for branded toys. Try and choose a branded toy as then you can compare it to the manufacturer’s own website to check it’s legit.
- Be careful of going for the cheapest price. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.
- Check if there are any age restrictions. Make sure you give suitable toys to children based on their age.
- Check reviews carefully. Some reviews are fake so look carefully at the comments.
- Stay with children at first. When your child opens a toy for the first time, stay with them and check for faults, detachable small parts, access to stuffing and loose or accessible batteries or magnets.
