Best Toy Figure Buses of 2026

"I've had this bus for my son since his first birthday, and now over a year later, he still plays with it every day. Its durability and ability to withstand rough play really stand out to me. Out of all his toys, this bus has held up the best, and it’s clearly his favorite. I ended up buying another one as a gift for a friend’s child because I was so impressed. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a lasting, fun toddler gift."

"My grandson absolutely loves this bus! He spends hours pushing it around and playing with the Little People figures inside. The fact that it can seat five figures and includes fun music and sounds keeps him entertained. The bus is sturdy and just the right size for little hands. Even his older sister joins in the fun—definitely a hit with both kids."

"This school bus has brought so much joy to our home. The lights, music, and easy-to-press button immediately capture my child’s attention. The large opening makes it simple for little ones to put figures in and out. The only minor issue we've had is that the door latch sometimes takes a few tries to close, but overall, it’s a wonderful, engaging toy."

"I’m thrilled with this purchase for my niece. She absolutely adores the toy bus and can’t get enough of the “Wheels on the Bus” song. Initially, I thought it was broken since it only played part of the song, but after discovering the switch at the bottom, it now plays the full song and other sounds. The sound quality is fantastic, and it’s become her favorite toy—she dances and laughs every time! Highly recommended."

"My grandkids love this bus! It’s sturdy, simple, and offers endless play possibilities—they load it up with all sorts of toys and use their imaginations. The included JJ figure with movable limbs is a great bonus. The music and sound effects are pleasant, not annoying, and the bus is perfect for real toddler play. Definitely a favorite in our house."

"I bought this for my toddler son since he loves buses. He carries it everywhere because it’s lightweight, and the wheels roll smoothly. The music is fun, but I wish the headlights would light up and that the speaker wasn’t underneath, since the sound gets muffled on carpet. Still, it’s a wonderful toy that keeps him entertained."

"I'm always impressed by how durable and detailed these buses are. My child is fascinated by real vehicles, and these toys are not only sturdy enough to survive all his imaginative play but also have features like individually opening doors. The value for the quality is outstanding—definitely a favorite in our household."

"As someone living in NYC, I can say this is the closest toy to the real MTA articulated bus I’ve found. The color and design are spot on, and my son is obsessed with it. He loves opening and closing the doors and showing it off to his friends. 9/10 for quality and realism!"

"My grandson has barely put this bus down since he got it. The interior and exterior are impressively realistic, and we've even used it to talk about real buses we see outside. When it fell off the table, it didn’t get a single scratch—it’s incredibly sturdy."

"My daughter was absolutely thrilled when she received these for Christmas. Even though a few decals started peeling, the overall quality makes me happy, especially considering how much my kids play with them."

"I’ve had these for over a year and they’ve needed some superglue fixes for the tires and wheels. Despite that, the kids really enjoy them, so I’d still buy them again, though I do keep an eye on them while they play."

"I was very disappointed because the toys were not cheap and the tires broke quickly on most of them. The seller did send replacements, but the same thing happened again. For the price, I expected better durability."

"My 2-year-old grandson absolutely loves this bus. The quality is great and it's a good value for the price. The flashing lights inside make it look like a party bus, which is adorable. The only minor issue is the spoken audio, which has a heavy accent and is a bit hard to understand, though it doesn't bother my grandson at all."

"The bus is well-made and has brilliant sounds. My son is so excited to play with it. It's a good size and feels sturdy, making it a hit in our house."

"While my kid really enjoys the toy, especially the Wheels On The Bus song, I do wish the music would keep playing while the bus is moving, rather than stopping when the door is closed or when you press the top. Otherwise, it's entertaining and fun for the most part."

"I gave this as a birthday present to my one-year-old grandson and he was absolutely delighted with it. He recognizes school buses from our daily routine, so this was a hit. The lights and movement really capture his attention, and it's just the right size for his hands. Even though the sound is a bit strong for my taste, a bit of tape over the speaker made it perfect. He can't get enough of this toy!"

"This toy was an absolute showstopper at my best friend's son's birthday. The music is so lively and loud – it basically turns into a party wherever it goes. Watching the bus zip around, reverse, and flash rave-like lights was a blast for the kids. I kept getting updates about how much fun his son was having, and I could tell it was a huge hit, even if the parents had to put up with some serious noise!"

"The bus has a cute look and appealing lights, but I found the volume to be a little much for our son at first. Thankfully, I figured out how to quiet it down with a bit of foam. It also doesn't roll straight when you try to use it as a push toy, but removing the wheels solved that easily. Once adjusted, it's still a great source of fun!"

"I bought this for my son who adores London buses, and after a long search, I finally found a quality wooden double-decker that’s the perfect size. While it was a bit pricey, especially with shipping, I’m impressed with how large and robust it is—definitely worth recommending."

"I gifted this charming red London bus to my grandsons and was delighted by its sturdy craftsmanship and classic appearance. It’s a toy I believe will stay in the family for generations. Highly recommended, especially for Anglophiles!"

"This bus is a beautiful, well-made toy that has withstood plenty of play from my two-year-old. The removable top deck makes it interactive, and it arrived fully assembled. We were a little disappointed that the driver wasn’t included as advertised, but overall, my daughter loves it and that’s what matters most."

"For my grandson who is absolutely bus-obsessed, this toy was a hit. The lights, sounds, and pull-back action kept him entertained, and he was thrilled to have something to open on his birthday. Even though the mirrors broke off easily, he didn’t notice, and the fun wasn’t diminished."

"My granddaughter, who always watches her sister get on the school bus, is crazy about buses. She absolutely loves this toy! It’s very sturdy, and the lights work great, making it a favorite in our house."

"After a few months, our grandson still keeps returning to play with this bus. It’s stood up well to rough play and seems to be good quality overall. I’m happy with this purchase."

"I’ve purchased several of these buses because my grandson absolutely loves them. Even though he plays rough, this version is built much better and holds up well. The pull-back action, large wheels, and moving stop sign are huge hits. Highly recommend for energetic kids!"

"My toddler picked out this bus and has been obsessed ever since. Both my son and his twin sister love it, so we’ve ended up buying extras. Although it eventually broke after a few months, the fun they had made it worth it. Wish the quality was a bit more durable, but my kids can’t get enough of it."

"When the bus arrived, the front wheels were badly bent—it wouldn’t even roll. The bus itself is neat, but the wheels were disappointing. It’s also smaller than I expected, but my son still thinks it’s cool."

"This city bus toy is well-built and fits perfectly in a child's hands. The lights make it fun to play with, but I wish there was an on/off switch for the sounds, as they get triggered with every touch."

"I bought this for my toddler and it's become a favorite in our home. While it may not be the absolute best on the market, I still give it five stars for quality and the imaginative play it inspires."

"Purchased this for my grandkid and he absolutely loves it. The bus looks very realistic, and both the interior and headlights light up when it moves. Great for pretend play!"
