 Fun for adults tooFeb 08, 2010
By Michael And Darlene Snyder
I purchased this product for my grandson. He enjoys it very much as does the adults helping him with it. I would advise that the tiny cars are too small for younger toddlers. This toy should be used by children 3 and up. Since it is colorful,I am able to talk about the colors with my grandson. We also count the cars when they go on and come off the ramp. Overall, it is a good buy for the money I spent. However, I purchased it on sale for $9.99. I don't reccomend spending any more than that for this gift.

 Sorely diappointed adult, happy child. Overpriced!Sep 29, 2009
By H. Wadsworth
"Beeger boy Mom"
When I recieved this item I waited a few days before I opened the box. I had a few moments to myself so I though, "I'll go put it together." When I opened the box, I was shocked. No need to put it together since the item was about as big as a notebook piece of paper. In the picture it looked as though it would come up to my knees. I am not sure it comes up to my 2 year olds knees. For the price of this item I would think it would be way bigger. It has 3 ramps, but since the size is so small it doesn't take long to get to the bottom. The cars are about the size of a cell phone sim card with wheels. The pro of this item is that it is sturdy.

 Small Ramp + Fast Cars = Underwhelming EffectDec 29, 2011
By M. Peterson
I liked the idea of this toy for my 7 month old son as an alternative to the ball ramps that help with eye coordination. He is an infant, but I knew we'd use it under supervision only, so no safety concerns. They do say this toy is for ages 18 months+, but I really think it should be age 3+ because the cars have wheels that could likely break off under the usage of a rough 18 month old and I think they may have magnets in them. Certainly metal.
Aside from that safety concern, I'm a bit disappointed. As mentioned by other users, the cars can flip incorrectly, turning sideways and jamming the track or sometimes just flying off the ramp. It kind of defeats the purpose as there's no real way to control the speed or accuracy of the cars. When they do go correctly, they go so fast that it's kind of anticlimactic for even my 3.5 year old.
Ways this toy could be made AWESOME:
1) wider cars that are more fitted to the width of the track so they aren't as prone to go sideways AND/OR
2) heavier cars would be more likely to stay on the track and maximize the fun of watching them go down the ramp and flipping at each end.
3) It would be scientific, perhaps to weight the four cars differently so kids could compare the way differently weighted cars went down the ramp.
On the pro-side, the ramp structure is both light-weight and sturdy and it's small enough to make it easy to store (fits perfectly on our Ikea Expedit cubby shelves).
I do like this toy over-all, just think I had greater expectations for it beyond a quick car ramp. I'm sure my kids will love it just the same.

Well made and our 12 month old loves it!Dec 12, 2011
By N. M. Sawyer
We bought this for our son's first birthday and figured it would be something he might not know how to use just yet but will grow into. After watching us play with it for a couple minutes, he started doing it on his own. The cars are small enough for him to manipulate but large enough for him not to be able to stuff in his mouth. The track is very durable, he's already thrown it on the floor off the table 10+ times and there's not a dent to be found on it. Great product!
