I got this Zip-Bin for Remy after seeing the reactions from other kids and parents in the store. Last week, when I was at Borders, I saw several boys were playing and having fun in the kids section. Their ages are from 1.5 to 4 years old. I went over and took a closer look at what they were doing. I saw they were playing with cars and car books. One of the kids had this package in his hand so I pick one up from the shelf, too.
This is a toy serves two functions. Kids can zip the map and made into a carrying bin or they can un-zip it and play cars on the map.
The package for this zip bin is quite amazing. It has very detail and clear illustrations with a lenticular card to describe how it functions. So people can assemble this unit within a minute. Being a designer, I really appreciate the package designers and toy company put their afforts and money to produce this product.
