Let your aspiring firefighter imagine his fiery adventures inside this detailed big red fire engine play tent. The lightweight and portable bright red tent sets up easily with EZ-Twist technology. Includes a tunnel port for crawl-through action. For ages 3 years and up. Spot clean and air dry. Made of non-woven nylon binding and steel. Imported. 38Hx30Wx38L".

It's a three-alarm blaze of fun for youngsters with PlayHut's Twist 'N' Fold Fire Engine, another in their imaginative series of quick-to-assemble, spring-loaded, collapsible nylon mesh configurations. Here, a bright red, 49-by-24-inch, stylized rectangular fire truck replica, almost 3 feet tall, forms itself from the apparatus which, fully folded, fits into a bag no larger than a grocery sack. The only assembly required is to attach the nylon rear door (complete with a replica of a fire ax) and the inflatable steering wheel to the Velcro toggles on the main structure. Unfortunately, the included printed matter barely mentions these two extra pieces, leaving assemblers guessing as to how to attach them. The steering wheel is a no-brainer, but the back door panel possesses one toggle and there are four possible loops for it. Parents might also be annoyed by the fact that the foldaway instructions are twice as lengthy as those for setup. --Tony Mason
