About the Chad Valley Lights and Sounds Construction Playset
The spiral ramp of the Chad Valley Lights and Sounds Construction Playset makes for breakneck descents, the crane and wrecking ball deal with the big stuff. The manual car lift brings one of the high-quality, die-cast free-wheel toy cars to the lofty heights, the rotary platform brings bulldozer and co. into the correct position, then utilise the authentic conveyor for added realism. The printed decor of the play base should hopefully prevented it from excavation! Light and sound effects add a further dimension to the varied experience of this comprehensive set for children of three years and up. Weight 2000g. Size H52, W79, D45cm.

Chad Valley Lights and Sounds Construction Playset Reviews
1/5 1826372 'Wouldn’t waste your money. I put my sons up on Christmas Day and within one use the crane stopped working so they replaced it and it did the exact same the second time. Can be used without the crane but completely defeats the whole point. It is very cheap plastic and breaks so quickly. Definitely not worth £40.'5/5 Gerrydave 'Fantastic toy the grandson loves it.'
5/5 Gra38 'My 3 year old son absolutely loved this Christmas gift and spend many hours happily playing with it on Christmas day (and beyond). On sale it was a great bargain and very well made as kids toys go. Takes 30+ mins to assemble so probably best to do so before wrapping (if gifting it). Takes LR44 batteries (Not LR41 as someone answered in the Q&A), but doesn't require batteries to play with it.'
3/5 123 'Bought this for my grandson for Christmas. It’s not very sturdy and some barriers broke on his first play. Glad it was in the sale'
5/5 Karl 'Bought for my son, absolutely loves it. Great toy!'
5/5 Jwheelz 'Brought this for my nephews 3rd birthday. Very good quality, and he loves playing with it. Really pleased with it.'
5/5 Sal 'Bought as a Christmas present so although it looks good I can’t really say how good it is.'
5/5 Susieq 'This has been bought for our grandson who, at 2, loves cars, building blocks and making a noise. He will be so excited to play with this. It looks good value too.'
5/5 Parker597 'My 4 year old got this for his birthday. It’s brilliant, surprised with the quality. I thought the vehicles would be plastic but they’re a heavy metal. He’s loving playing with it. Great bargain buy!'
5/5 Mhudson 'Boys aged 5 and 2 loved it, so much to do for them and really surpasses other similar toys which are much more expensive'
4/5 Walker 'Lots to do with this toy. Lots of moving parts, small trucks, crane and sound effects.'
4/5 Danielle23 'This toy is brilliant and my 3 y/o love this. It has everything you need in a toy for a construction obsessed child. I would love to give 5 starts but the reason I have given 4 is because the lift it hard to turn, I find it quite hard to turn and my son can’t do it so doesn’t play with this part unless I am able to help him. It is also quite flimsy but for the price it’s great.'
3/5 Ozzy12 'I bought this at Christmas for my 3 year old Grandson. He is intrigued with all the features especially the track. Unfortunately the trucks that came with it seem to be of poor quality and only two of them have stayed in tacked. He uses his toy cars instead. The sounds are very quiet and really aren’t worth being on there. It came in many parts and think it’s name “ Construction Site “ is more apt to actually constructing it. My Grandson does enjoy playing with it it’s just a shame that some of the parts seem to be of cheap quality. I am pleased that i bought it when it was on offer as i feel it is worth what i paid for it and would have returned it if i had paid its full price.'

5/5 Grannypatch 'My three year old Grandson is totally absorbed with this Construction set, it is a brilliant toy!'
3/5 JerC 'First off, the play set is very flimsy and within an hour some of the small parts had broken. The assembly instructions were poor at best. The batteries recommended on the Argos website were incorrect as the sound and light unit takes small button batteries not the 3 x AAA batteries stated.'
4/5 Dave 'My son loved it, made his Christmas, but sadly 2 different bits broke within a week and both our local stores didn't have it in stock to swap'
5/5 Temmy 'This was a great Christmas present for our 3 year old. Got it for half price definitely a great buy... Much bigger then expected. Has a part that lights up and makes construction like sounds... You need a small cell battery for it which wasn't included.. Luckily I had some at home. Comes with 5 construction trucks as wellOverly happy with this toy son is still playing with it.. Happy son happy mum!'
