Sprig Toys Discover Rig Reviews.
My 3 year old son recently received a sprig discover rig for his birthday. It quickly became his favorite toy to take on walks. He calls it his “jumbo” car!! (the driver of the car talks and says “jambo” which is”Hello” in swahili, but it sounds like “jumbo”) It’s fun to take on walks because the more you push it, the more sounds and music you hear.(elephants,monkeys, etc) Unfortunately, the music/lights stopped working after about a month. My husband took the car apart to see if he could fix it,but the links that turn the generator inside the car were broken. My son was heartbroken that his jumbo didn’t work anymore. Since it was a gift from relatives in another state, I didn’t have a receipt for it. I emailed the sprig company and quickly received a reply from one of the co-founders of the company. I explained my situation and he offered to send out a new chassis for the car. (for free)I received the new chassis today and the car is fixed again. I was very impressed with the level of customer service I received!!
My son is a little young (2 years), but the discovery rig is one of his favorite toys. He will push it all over the house and yard. It can easily go over the rocks and stairs, but there’s not a scratch on my hardwood floors. He loves the music and will often stop pushing to do a little dance and then he’s back on his adventure. I love that I don’t have worry about how it’s made. It may be part plastic, but it smells like wood which gets a great reaction from all my adult friends.
