    Hyatt Resorts Toy Box Features Ravensburger Toys Review (& Giveaway Ends 1/19)

    By 390 Comments

    ABOUT:

    To make traveling with kids less stressful, Hyatt Resorts has come out with a new program called Hyatt Resorts Toy Box.  Upon checking in to a Hyatt Resorts hotel, parents can borrow from the 24 different toys they carry.  The toys are for kids from toddlers to tweens, and there are even some family games to enjoy!  The program – powered by Toy Tips, a respected independent toy testing company that helped Hyatt choose the right toys for the program — includes must-have toys and games from companies you know, like Ravensburger.  Known for superior quality toys, games and puzzles, Ravensburger has THREE toys in the Hyatt Resorts Toy Box, including:

    •      Katie Camper’s Holiday Friends – This WOW brand preschool toy features an 11-piece friction-powered camper with two characters, a dog and accessories, including beds, a mirror, tent, barbecue grill and picnic table.  The camper opens to reveal a home setting and the back of the camper can be unhooked from its magnetic trailer. Ages 1½–5 years

    •      Mix ‘n’ Fix Mike – This toy from the WOW preschool toy range features a friction-powered cement mixer truck with realistic engine sounds.  The three-piece set offers a clear outer drum with a friction motor that rotates the inner cement drum with colors and sound.  The detachable barrier can be fixed to the back of the truck for storage. Ages 1½–5 years

    •      Jungle Jive – An “egg-citing” and award-winning balancing game that will have everyone “monkeying” around!  Jungle Jive challenges players to complete a series of creative and silly activities and exercises while holding onto an amazing “egg” with their hands or feet.  When a player tips the egg too far, the laughing bird inside lets them know!  Ages 6+

    The Hyatt Resorts Toy Box toy-lending program is available free to hotel guests.  Upon checking in, guests receive a Toy Box book listing all 24 available toys from which they may choose.  Once the toys are returned, they are inspected, cleaned and repaired, as needed, so every child receives a toy or game in pristine condition.

    MY THOUGHTS:

    First off, I think this program is awesome and I definitely would consider Hyatt Resorts just for the toy program alone next time we travel as a family.  With two boys, I am constantly dragging in a bag of toys for them to play with in the room because there is nothing worse than being cooped up in a room with a 2 and 3 year old who have nothing to do!  The problem with carrying toys is carting them in our car or luggage if we are flying, and then making sure we bring them all back home with us!

    So not only does Hyatt Resorts offer toys, but they are no ordinary toys, they are high quality hand selected toys.  With Ravensburger offering three toys I know that the toys will be appropriate and durable for my kids to play with.  We have other Ravensburger toys at home so it is nice to have a familiar brand of toys with us when we are on vacation!

    Since I have two boys I new the Mix ‘n’ Fix Mike Cement Mixer would be absolutely perfect.  It is a toy first off that requires no batteries – just imagination!  I was worried my sons would get bored since it doesn’t light up or play music, but it does make an engine sound when you play with it.  My sons have been zooming it back and forth with their other construction toys and it fits in perfect.  It is the perfect size for their little hands and they love the bright colors on it.  The Mix ‘n’ Fix Mike Cement Mixer is really the perfect toy for any child!  It is also just one of the great toys you can check out on your next stay at Hyatt Resorts!

    VISIT: A full list of participating toys in the new program is available at Hyatt Resorts Toy Box.  To learn more about Ravensburger’s extensive lineup, please visit www.ravensburger.com.

    WIN IT: (1) US winner will receive the Mix ‘n’ Fix Mike Cement Mixer

      I think this is a fantastic idea! You don’t necessarily have to take toys with you for an overnight trip AND your child is thrilled by having a DIFFERENT toy to play with. Great idea!

      This is a super partnership. These toys look great – and durable – even if I brought my own toys what a fun “treat” for my little ones to try out some new toys on vacation!

      What a phenomenal idea! Saves having to decide what toys to pack when you travel and it gives the kids something different to play with while on vacation.

      I think that the partnership is a great idea.
      And I love that Hyatt Resorts goes so above and beyond to make sure that families are comfortable in all ways.
      It says a lot about them to me.

      I think it’s a wonderful idea. It can be hard to entertain kids in a motel room. A few “new” toys to play with would be great.

      I think this is a great idea, because it is so hard to take alot of toys for the kids to play with, we just don’t have room!

      i love this partnership – when you have kids and take a trip i always have at least 2 bags of toys, 1 for each child – this would save space while traveling, time looking for the lost toys in the hotel room – love it!

      I think it is an excellent idea. It would save parents from having to lug all kinds of toys along on trips, and provide the children with some familiar activities in a strange place.

      I say good for Hyatt Resorts, thinking about the kids…..good for them! I will think twice about where to stay the next time we go away from my granddaughter.

      I think this is a great idea. With three kids, we wind up packing almost as many toys as clothes when we go on vacation.

      I love this program, so many times something different to play with can save the day. If I could only count on my hands the kids saying I don’t have anything to do. This fits that bill!! It’s so great that they offer this, yes I will stay there just because of this program. It’s like you know they have them and it’s a great way for the kids to play with other toys and make them feel like they had a vacation to — from their toys.

      I love the idea of having toys available to you when you stay at the Hyatt! I have two girls, and when we travel we always have one suitcase just filled with activities/toys. No matter how carefully we watch, we always seem to lose a toy! It would be nice to not have to worry about packing toys just to keep the kids occupied! They have the fun of having new toys they have not played with and I have the ease of not having to pack toys, watch toys, and constantly find lost pieces!

      Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

      I think it’s a great idea as long as the toys are continuously cleaned and sterilized after each use. However, we have used an outside service for such things including a regular crib for our hotel room.

      Wow! I love this idea! It’s brilliant! I know my boys would be much happier while stuck in the hotel rooms. Actually, so would their dad and I.

      I think it’s an amazing idea. With 2 year old twins it would be a huge relief knowing we are staying somewhere that provides quality toys for them to play with during our stay.

      since I know that travelling with (younger) kids is not always a smooth ride, I really appreciate the Hyatt Resorts Toy Box with Ravensburger Toys

      I think this is a GREAT idea! Obviously hard to pack toys and if you have a little one, those times spent in a hotel room in between the sights you are visiting can be preeeetty boring! love it

      I think it is an interesting partnership. It is nice to have the toys available if need be, but when I am on vacation we don’t spend much time at the hotel to play with toys other than ones for when kids go swimming

      I love the idea! Having two toddlers myself, I think it’s brilliant to offer some toys for the little ones. It’s too hard to pack kids’ toys on vacation/traveling- This is great to know for the next time we are on the road. . .

      I love this idea! (as long as they clean the toys…hahaha) What cute toys! My boys would love this… but they would probably cry to take them home…girl you are so good with these giveaways…not to be nosy, but how do you get all this stuff to giveaway

      I think the partnershop is a great idea because kids often need something to keep them occupied while waiting in the hotel room while their parents get ready.
