Tek Nek Police Role Play Set with Action Sounds Belt & working Flashlight product details page

Okay, I have a 5 year old little boy who REALLY, REALLY thinks he's a police officer. He has a police costume that he wears on a everyday bases however the belt that was included with the costume has be demolished,ripped and torn let's just say it's been worn often. In saying that, I purchased this set to replace his belt with a more durable belt and Tek Nek provided that. However, the interactive voice of the belt was a big disappointment to me because of the following reasons:1.It sounds like a 10 year old little girl saying the phrases.2. A lot of the phrases were a little lame for my growing 5 year old who thinks he's a real cop.I understand that it's a interactive,imaginative set but if my son didn't already have several police cars and toys with more realistic dispatcher sounds along with a very authentic sounding police officer maybe I wouldn't be so disappointed. We actually removed the interactive voice box from the belt and replaced it with a badge. I know my son would have been a little disappointed in the sound of the belt. Tek nek I think made the belt so your child could feel as though he as a kid playmate within the belt ( if that makes any sense) instead of the phrases making your child feel more like a authentic cop partner. I think the age of the belt should stop at age 3 and not 3+. All kids are different no two are the same I just wanted to give someone a look at the belt from my view of a mother who son REALLY thinks he is a real cop so maybe this belt might not be for you. As far as the other accessories in the pack they are ok the set as a whole I really like it's just the interactive voice box of the belt is what I really did not like. I hope this helps!

My boys really like to play with this set and the Construction Crew set. I got them walkie talkies and they are in a their own little imaginary world!

Great for imaginative play. The flashlight was broken from the beginning, not to mention the clip is poorly made so it falls off the belt consistently. The goggles broke almost immediately (lens pops off easliy) and same for the belt radio. Not durable at all. Better off buying a tool belt and play toys to put in it. The quality is no better than the police toys at the dollar store.

Saw some great reviews of this on other sites. This is a really fun role play set. The belt has 20 different sayings and sounds which helps create imaginative role play. The belt also has pockets to put the pieces into - so they don't get lost. The pieces are also big and chunky so they don't feel cheap. There is plenty here to dress up on. Durable, long-lasting and sparks my kid's imagination - very pleased!
