Junior Mailbox

Overall, we're pleased with the mailbox. My son is 2 and received this for Xmas with a letter from Santa. Product is smaller/shorter than I expected, but perfectly child sized. We live in a rainy area, so this is going to be an indoor toy for my little guy. He loves getting mail and putting things (that don't belong) in the mailbox. I thought it might be a cute idea so that he and my husband could exchange notes on a daily basis since my husband leaves for work early in the morning and they don't see each other until later in the day. My husband could leave a note in the morning and my son can leave a note/colored picture for Daddy during the day. My biggest complaint is the name label on the side...you write it on clear sticky plastic with a permanent marker, so no letters are included and will not look perfect like the picture. I would recommend buying those alphabet stickers to spell out your child's name instead if you want to personalize, then, maybe cover the stickers with the sticky plastic included (especially for outdoor use). Also, only small envelopes fit into the box, because it's not deep enough for the longer ones if you want to shut the door. Not that big of a deal. Also, it's not heavy, so my son carries it everywhere. Not a problem for me inside, but I couldn't image that it would stay upright on a windy day outside, even though the base is really wide. Maybe it could use some weight like a little sand bag in the base or something. Plastic itself is pretty thick, so it looks really durable.

This mailbox is very small....you cannot fit a regular sized envelope inside of it. I gave it 4 stars because it sits on our back porch and gets rained on, etc and it is still in good shape. My daughter also scribbles all over with her chalk and it wipes clean easily.

My son loves the mailbox, but the "box" part is a little too small for any real mail he gets, which is how I'd been hoping to use it. Cards needs to be folded or bent and no magazines or letters will fit. He still enjoys putting Legos and other small toys in it to discover, however.

This mailbox was a great addition to our play area! It's the perfect height to use with our cozy coupe car. Our kids love to play mailcarrier & this is the only plastic mailbox that I could find at an affordable price that looks like a real malibox - has working door & flag. It's very sturdy & fun for toddlers & preschoolers to play with. I would have given it 5 stars, except I wish the inside would be a little larger (3.5"w x 4"h x 5.5"d). It's pretty small so most things we stick inside either have to be folded, the door left open, or we do what the post office does & leave a card in it that says they have a package that needs to be picked up from the post office. Other than that, it's a great toy!!

My daughter got this for her 2nd birthday and loves it. She likes to put different toys in it and come back later to take them out while talking about what she needs to get out of the mailbox. I plan to put little notes and such in there for holidays like Valentines and Easter, etc. to continue to make it a place to keep special things.
