Fisher Price Little People versus Happyland
Just wondering,why do so many people on here prefer happyland staff?I just got a free happyland rose cottage as a part of a subscription to a mother and baby mag and I dont think it it as good as Little People,yet hardly anyone ever mentions them on here,why is that?Just genuinly wondering..

I think they're pretty much the same tbh. Oscar got the Little People Petting Zoo and loves it. He's also getting some Happyland figures for Christmas. He was going to get the Happyland pirate ship and island cove as it was half price in Debenhams over the weekend (??22.50) but saw a similar ship in The Entertainer for ??10 so got that instead - just to throw another type into the mix lol
I'll buy whichever is cheaper tbh as the quality seems pretty similar between the two but don't have a preference between them x
Which is why lo has the Happyland funfair (my personal favourite) and the village set with the cottage and shops and the fold up mat for Christmas!
I also like it cause its the same size as the other elc range of stuff (pirate ship, castle and the girly stuff - not that we have a girl but if we did int he future...) which means that the toys can all be played with together and interchange without frustration. I also like that hte happyland cars fit in the ELC garage cole has and that the magnetic elc cars he has are the same size as the happyland cars so they'll all fit on the fold up mat road when he gets it for christmas.
I think Jemma is right about the happyland being for older babies (its 18 months - 4 years) - I know what you mean and it doesn't sound bitchy - cole didn't play with his quite so much when he first got it for his 1st birthday but as he's got older he plays with it more, but my goddaughter who's 6 months younger than cole got loads for her 1st birthday and she has to play with it every day or she gets grumpy lol.
One of the big things that made us choose it is that it has a good age range on it and is still playable with by kids older than 4. With cole's birthday being just before christmas we only get one toy influx a year so when we are picking stuff or suggesting stuff for people to buy we want to make sure we get stuff that is either a bit old for him to grow into or that will last a while. Hope that makes sense and people know what I mean.
Happyland fan over here lol
so i am a deffinate happy land fan. xx
I just went and compared the animal farm and fire station.
I think the lp is good for younger chidlren as they are chunky. But I personally prefer happy land as its for older children and should last longer.
Happyland is more colourful with a variety of characters and I personally feel the buildings are more realistic and modern.
Hubby and I like to buy things that are long lasting through several ages with more than one purpose. I remember the dog from little people when I was a child, but I think I will join the fans of happy land
