American Plastic Toys 18" School Bus, Yellow (83140)

(Pic after 5 months of abuse) Build/construction feels a bit cheap. We'll see how it holds up to my toddler after Christmas. I was hoping it'd be a bit more sturdy.Update: Yes I still think the plastic is a bit cheap, and a few stickers have come unstuck since Christmas, but it has held up remarkably well too my 22 month old riding on this thing. Yes, I know it's not made for that, but he's doing it, and it's taking it. So far anyway!Update: Still standing 5 months later after MUCH abuse. Now my 3yo had been riding it too... A bit worse for wear, but still standing, nonetheless.

There are a lot of strong negative reviews about this bus so I took a chance on ordering it. Overall I'm happy I did. It's basically just a toy that like you'd get at a Dollar General or a discount store.Pros:Big and roomySeems solidDecent priceCons:Stickers came slightly peeled upPlastic finish looks a little wonkyBasically I think if your kid wants a big bus they will love it. I don't really think it's nice enough to give as a gift for like someone else's kid. It's not a collectable... It's a toy. I'm happy with it.

The only issue my little one has with it is that the hard plastic seats inside are not indented or rubbery so that her toys can ride in it without sliding off their seats and ending up in a pile in the bus floor when she rolls it. (We tried to stretch elastic bands around the backs of the seats and the toys to be like 'seatbelts' but those slid off right away. Next I am going to try and remedy the situation with some non-slip pieces of rubber foam or by painting the seats with some black tape paint. If that doesn't work I may just paint a coffee stirrer to match the bus and superglue it to the seats along the 2 aisles to sort of 'cage' them in.) My little one's LPS animals are 2-3 inches in height and fit perfectly on the seats, it could easily fit toys slightly larger too. If she decides to use Her little Playmobil people in the seats, I fear the spaces in front of each seat may not be deep enough to accommodate their legs, but they could turn toward the aisle and be fine. The bus is huge and just the right size for hands and toys to fit into. They can use the bus door and it rolls very smoothly, as it is all I can do to keep my kid from using it as a skateboard! The Paper stickers on the side were coming off and not put on smoothly but my little one doesn't seem to care And this effects the playability in No way. Overall the bus is exactly as advertised and seems to be of great quality and If your little one has no issues with their characters staying upright in the seats, I think they will have a wonderful time playing with it! I saw a review where one Of these buses was given To a bus driver as a gift filled with goodies And I think that would be a great way to gift something to a teacher or school employee or Even a kid as a Get well soon, back-to-school Or first-day-of-school present! ~ Also, if you have dogs, this is made of a hard plastic and has proven difficult for our little mutts to chew up. Not one tooth mark so far! ~-UPDATE-There is rust on the wheel axles. I am able to wipe it off so it isn't a real issue yet, I will Re-update if it becomes an issue.Also, My Little One has been using some soft wax to stick her smaller toys to the seats. So far it is working!I am posting pictures, it says it may take a few days to display them here.

Purchased 3 buses in a 2 year span which all resulted in the same damage, a non-repairable broken wheel off the axle. The 3rd (and most recent) purchase only lasted about 60 days. This bus was purchased from VM Express. Customer service of VM Express was horrible and when I asked to speak to supervisor/manager Austin said "thats not going to happen". Eventually spoke to a nicer more understanding supervisor, who ultimately gave me a 10% discount code if I bought another bus, but would not replace bus since it was after 60 days.Lastly, I called American Plastic toys to complain about my experience with multiple buses and to share my experience with their vendor (VM Express). Kudos to American plastic toys who replaced not one but two buses. Now that's great customer service!

Ok so this bus is big, and it rolls around well but it's not exactly the quality I had hoped for. The door is kind of hard to get open and closed and the sticker on the side is peeling off (and was like that when it arrived.) overall I'm thinking its alright for the price (I got it for $12) but don't expect it to be perfect. I got it so my daughter's my little ponies could ride in it. They fit through the door and on the seats, but you have to position them the right way.

The origin states "Made in the USA or Imported" but all the stamps on this bus state made in the USA which is a plus. The bus will be a Xmas gift for a 7YO addicted to anything school bus. The fact he can load and unoad passengers thru the roof or the door that opens is a plus. I will say the very thin metal axels snap in and out of the plastic quite easily as long as the prongs don't break I'll be happy. He'll not like the fact that there is no hinged stop sign that swings out (typically a requirement for his bus). Tough to find a big and SILENT vehicle so I think this bus is impressive. Happy with this purchase.

I like that it was made in USA, and that the door opens, but that's about it. It's made of cheap plastic, and so the edges of it a kind of sharp (not sharp enough to actually give you a cut, but just kind of uncomfortable to hold). The seats are too far apart to use them with either the Playmobil or the Lego people without the figurines constantly sliding off the seat, which is very frustrating to my kids. They do still play with these buses sometimes, and they've both actually tried to sit on top of the bus, and so far it hasn't broken, so I guess they're sturdier than they seem.

My son love his yellow school bus. We got it for him for his 3rd birthday and he has played with it everyday for over a month. Originally we wanted to get him the Playmobil schoolbus but the shipping charges to Ireland were more than the bus itself so we went for this one and just bought him some Playmobil figures locally and he absolutely loves it all! Happy son- happy mommy!

Made very cheaply (definitely China not USA) and all stickers are half ripped off, but fortunately our bus have doors (and my kids do not care about stickers). I regret that didn't buy it when it was only 10$C because it's rather low quality. But it works, my LO Peppa Pig figurines more or less fit in so generally happy, as I didn't expected anything great, especially after reading other reviews.

This is a cheap looking toy but I know my son will LOVE it because it’s a school bus and you can put little figures inside in the seats (he wants to put his paw patrol pups in it) and that’s all he wanted for his birthday. He doesn’t know or care that it’s cheap. The only thing was the sticker on one side of the bus was lifted off and crooked. Other than that it will do the job. Arrived on time. Bigger than expected.

Decent quality for the price however it has obviously been used before. It is all dirty and the sticker was put on incorrectly, they also added a sticker in the back that will not peel off leaving ugly sticky stuff.

It’s a good bus but the quality is super cheap and came with stickers half out and somePlastic bent. I like the fact that it’s open from the top so kids can put things inside etc. But honestly I wouldn’t pay more than $7 for it
