260 PCS Construction Race Tracks for Kids Toys, 2 Electric Cars, 4 Construction Cars, 1 Map & Flexible DIY Track Set, Engineering Presents for 3 4 5 6 Year Old Boys Girls

I bought this set for my grandson (2½) to play with when he visits and we can't play in the garden. I read the reviews on the many different sets now available and noted the comments about battery usage and flimsiness of some of the components. But when this set came up on a limited time deal I decided to give it a go. I have to say I have been very pleased with the set. It's quick and easy to fit the track together and it doesn't matter too much whether or not you can create the exact track layout shown on the box. The track is very flexible and is easy to adjust if a corner is to tight and the car comes off. Anyway I set it all up and my grandson loves it. The cars work really well and chunter round the track at a good speed (don't bother with the supplied batteries, just insert a good quality AA alkaline battery into each car). It's fun watching them go round and the two sets of 'points' make it interesting because the cars are always changing direction. However, my grandson isn't content just to watch; he wants to intervene. He enjoyed switching the points himself to make the cars change direction, and if that makes them crash so much the better. He enjoys changing the shape of the track layout to see what happens, and if that means the car leaves the track and disappears under the furniture that's great. I think the cars are really well designed - the motors are strong and, with good batteries, they go quite fast. That means my grandson likes to play with them off the track, and we had a great time just sending them to each other across a table and back. Sometimes we caught them and sometimes we didn't. This car set has been subjected to some fairly rigorous play - using the cars in ways not intended and the track being kicked about when he got bored. So far the cars have survived and still work and all the track components are still in working order. I'm sure something will break eventually, but it hasn't yet. In terms of all the 'pieces' in the set, the car and the track are the most important and are well-made. The numerous signs and trees etc are of no interest to my grandson and they stay in the box. He does, however, love the little friction powered construction lorries and plays with those, even when he isn't playing with the track set. Finally, on the issue of battery consumption I have found that each car uses about 1 good quality AA battery a day - this includes playing with the cars away from the track and leaving the cars on their backs with the motors running (it's what kids do). I don't think this is too outrageous. All-in-all I think this set is great value. It has kept my grandson occupied for long periods of time and it has stood up to use and misuse. For the price, I think it has been great value.

Child loved it. Easy to assemble, well made, good fun.

For £19.00. This toy is worth the price. The ramp is quite flimsy. Hence the 4 stars. Otherwise good quality toy car track for endless hours of fun!

It took a little time to assemble correctly but once done, it was easy. It works well. Our grandson loved it.

Excellent. Captures his imagination for hours Xxx

Great value

Excellent

One of the cars worked for 2 weeks only, I replaced the battery but it is not working. The bridges keep detaching from the track, expected better quality based on the reviews. I bought much cheaper elsewhere and works better.

Well made toy that gives your child hours of fun. Quick and easy to set up and children love the many different ways they can set it up. Comes with cars or you can use any cars you have at home for hours of fun. Toddlers would need some assistance setting up the tracks but enjoy racing their cars on the many tracks and driving the cars up and down.

Comprato per 2 bambini di 3 e 2 anni. Molto facile da assemblare e divertente per i bimbi perché si possono fare tutti i percorsi immaginabili. Ci sono i pezzi per fare 1 ponte ma mettendo degli spessori sotto la pista si possono fare tutti i dossi che si vogliono. Fare attenzione alle parti più piccole se si gioca con bambini di età inferiore ai 3 anni c'è pericolo che li mettano in bocca. Ottimo passatempo.

Track is fine, Electric cars are also good but consumes to much batteries

Súper genial las pilas no duran nada pero son excelente para jugar
