Description
This multi-storey car park in the Bosch Car Service design features a helix elevator that transports the cars to the individual levels by turning the helix upwards. The equipment includes light and sound effects, two vehicles, departure ramps and four fuel pumps.
The cars can be refuelled and tuned at the modern petrol stations on the ground floor. From here, the cars can be driven via the smooth driveway into the Helix elevator and elegantly transported upstairs. Simply turn the crank and let the tower shine and sound with pleasure. Once at the top, the colourful speedsters can simply park and enjoy the view or embark on a rapid descent. The little drivers themselves determine which course the cars take. You set the course and let one car take you on every floor, the other skip a parking deck and arrive faster. What fun!

What our experts think
The Bosch Car Service Parking Garage provides lots of opportunities for small-world play, sparking children’s imagination and helps them to develop important language skills in creativity, communication and storytelling. Playing with the cars in the garage allows children to replicate real-world scenarios through play (e.g. beeping to reverse into a parking space) which helps them to learn and make sense of the world around them.
The play set is easy to set up, coming with step-by-step instructions which are easy to follow. It features flashing lights and sounds which were a great hit with children, adding a realistic element to their creative play. Small-world play sets like this also encourage children to play with others, which is a great way to develop social and emotional skills such as turn-taking, negotiation and empathy.
