Step 2 Up and Down Roller Coaster

Our 1 1/2 year old grandson has...

Strengths: great play value

Weakness: none that I've found

Our 1 1/2 year old grandson has been fascinated with this toy..he is able to climb into the car and then go down the rollercoaster track and use the track as a personal slide as well as a track for his toy trucks. This toy appears to be a very safe and well constructed toy with varied uses.

Sturdy Great Fun

Strengths: Quality, sturdy construction/ Ease of putting together and taking apart/ Stable thrills!

Weakness: Needs place and a space

My 2 year old grandson - and his parents, but don't tell - love playing with this toy. They have a long hall with hardwood floors where it stores pushed up against the wall til called into duty. The steps remove easily so it goes flat. Games on this so far include riding the cool car, sliding and pulling on belly or crawling, and lining up cars and letting them go. This really is a terrific...

My 2 year old grandson - and his parents, but don't tell - love playing with this toy. They have a long hall with hardwood floors where it stores pushed up against the wall til called into duty. The steps remove easily so it goes flat. Games on this so far include riding the cool car, sliding and pulling on belly or crawling, and lining up cars and letting them go. This really is a terrific energy-using toy with just the right amount of thrills, yet very stable. I am so pleased with it, and it will be around and used for YEARS which is more than I can say for most of his toys. It would be great in a carport or driveway - or a perfect indoor hallway. A really good purchase.

Love Step 2 Products!!

Strengths: Fun! Colorful! Keeps my 4-year-old and 2-year-old happy!

Weakness: none in my opinion

If you are in the market for a fun toy that kids will play with over and over than this may be one you should buy. I initially worried about them falling off, but that didn't happen. The car stays on the track. When the kids' friends came over they immediately headed to the 'roller coaster'. I would recommend most Step 2 products....durable...built to last

not thrilling enough for 3 year olds

Strengths: durable

Weakness: not fast enough for older kids

I purchased it for my twins' 3rd birthday. They loved it...for about 2 days and then stopped playing with it. It wasn't fast and thrilling enough for them. They ended up running up and down the tracks, so I sold it less than a month after I baught it. It takes up a lot of space indoors.

Years of fun.

Strengths: very durable Loads of fun

Weakness: catchs water between sections..holds water in the low part after rain.

Easily the best toy we have had. My now nine year old recieved it for his first birthday..It is on its 8th summer in our backyard. My third child (age 2) now enjoys it(and occassionally his seven year old sister and nine year old brother still take it for a cruise). We have never had to fix anything on it. And my three kids have literally riden it thousands of times. It is tough tough tough. It...

Easily the best toy we have had. My now nine year old recieved it for his first birthday..It is on its 8th summer in our backyard. My third child (age 2) now enjoys it(and occassionally his seven year old sister and nine year old brother still take it for a cruise). We have never had to fix anything on it. And my three kids have literally riden it thousands of times. It is tough tough tough. It looks like it will make it to the grandkids someday. All of our visitors enjoy it. Its a unique toy not everyone has. We look forward to years of continued use.

Rain Water does puddle in the low part of the track and in between the pieces. I scrub it down with a mild cleanser before putting it away in the winter and that seems to take care of most of the major staining done by the puddling water.
