Step2 Thomas the Tank Engine Up and Down Roller Coaster

The Thomas Roller Coaster Ride has been an excellent purchase and definitely worth the money. I have two children daughter is 9 and son is 1. I also have nieces ages 3 & 4 and Nephew who is 2. They all love this they play on it for hours at a time taking turns. Now for my 9 year old daughter this is way too small for her and we wouldn't have it if we just had her but she still loves to ride down it so no its not made for 9 year olds but yes she still uses it. My one year old I have to help with it still but he is getting close to be able to do it by himself. My nieces and nephews 2, 3 and 4 do it on there on and love it. This is probably best for ages 2-5 but again my 1 year old loves it he just needs help on it and my 9 year old uses it but its way too small for her.It was easy to assemble I am terrible at assembling things and I was able to put it together in just a few minutes. The car comes assembled. It is a larger toy we have it in our basement play room. My sister has the Step 2 one which she placed hers outside and you could place this outside as well. The kids love this one more than the Step 2 one and play on it for longer. Again this is very large so you will need a larger area to put it.The kids also will ride the train around the basement you just push with your feet. There are no batteries needed. It is excellent and we absolutely love it. I would highly recommend this for all kids they will get a lot of use out of it.

I got this as a Christmas gift for my friend's little ones (2 and 3 1/2) and they absolutely love it!! They played with it literally all day. Assembly was easy. The most time consuming part was putting on all the decals. The overall sturdiness is great. The only thing is the left front wheel is slightly off the ground when sitting at the top of the track. However, it doesn't casue any issues, it's still completelt safe (think of a chair that lost one of the pads on the bottom of the legs; rocks a slight amount but has no way of actually tipping over). The snap together feature of the tracks is great! The first few times it might take some extra force to snap together but it all fits. All in all, excillent product. If you're giving this as a gift, I recommend you take out the train and put that all together first since it takes about a half hour to an hour.

Favorite toy of my newly 2 year old. Plays with it every day! Very durable! Easy to use off track too… he either makes it go himself or puts his feet up to be pushed! One little problem with an easy fix so I couldn’t take any stars off.‼️‼️The hole that the red handle goes in has sharp edges. With a regular paper fingernail file I filed both sides down to smooth!!

While I don't love the space that this roller coaster takes up (or the dent in my trash can), it doesn't take up as much space as I thought. My 2.5-year-old son loves it! He kept shouting, "Thomas!", "I LOVE IT!", "I LOVE THOMAS!", and "Mommy, say, "I love Thomas!" The first few times we had to load the car back up for him, but now he can do it on his own. There have been a couple of times that he's loaded it with one wheel off the track, but the majority of the time, he gets it locked in with no problems. He doesn't slow himself down with his feet every time; hence, the trash can dent.Assembly requires a hammer to attach the wheels and a steady hand to put quite a few decals onto the train. The track/steps slide and snap together within a couple of minutes.*Helpful tip: Thomas was sliding around quite a bit during use so we put some non-slip drawer liner pieces under the step portion and the end of the track to help keep it in place.Great, fun toy!

My 2.5 year old loves his Thomas ride-on train and cannot get enough of it. The ramp has served as a launchpad for many other toys, and has seen it's share of train-toy collisions that make me wonder if my boy will be producing The Fast and The Furious 27 some years from now. On the indoor tile floor, the child-train combo can easily roll 15-20 feet from the ramp so plenty space is recommeded. Although not advised, my 12 year old also takes his share of turns. I've tried it myself, and my life flashed before my eyes... Well not really but I did feel like the engine might need to be surgically separated from my wedged in torso. Overall very satisfied with the purchase. Would love to see a track expansion pack to perhaps double the height and distance, but of course that would probably be deemed 'unsafe'.

When our Thomas the Train loving 2 year old grandson first saw this birthday present, he was thrilled and he loves riding on it. So does the 5 year old although being tall for his age, he has to hold up his legs but it doesn’t bother him at all. They ride it backwards sometimes too just to change things up.It went together easily and it very high quality. If you do not see the rods for the wheels, just turn the train upside down and there they are taped underneath. It has nice decals to put on the train and it looks great. As long as you have a long, narrow empty space for this toy, you should give it a try.

Our 3 year old LOVES this. It was very easy to assembly and seems very sturdy. The only issue that I have with this is the top base does not snap in the way it should. It's like the pegs need to be another inch or two longer to stay locked in. Almost seems as if it is short on one of the sides. Nonetheless, it works well and we'll get a bunch of use out of this.
