We bought this toy for my 2 1/2 year old son. We have other take along sets that are alot of fun, but this one
is lousy. The top curved track keeps falling off, the carnival sign keeps popping off, and the fun house arch
doesn’t stand up. My son played with it for a few days, but I have to keep putting the track back together
and that makes him lose interest in the toy. I wish I read the reviews for this before I bought it, because I would
never have spent the money on this. I’m going to disassemble it and keep the track, but this toy is a BIG
disappointment.

My son got this for his third birthday – he absolutely loves it! For the most part it’s a great toy, except for the top part of the long inclined part of the track – that piece is constantly falling off if the track is bumped even a little bit. For the most part my son is very careful with it, because he enjoys playing with the track so much, but he does get frustrated because the joints are a little fiddly and require a grown-up’s coordination to put back together.
We’re going to try using hot glue on the underside of the track join for that piece, to see if it gives it just enough sticking power to stay together.
Also, it stays together MUCH better on hard floors as opposed to carpet.
I still haven’t exactly figured out how this track is supposed to be “take along” – maybe you could carry the spiral somewhere with you, but the rest of the track is too bulky to bother taking anywhere.
Regardless, my son LOVES this toy and plays with it every day.

We got this yesterday for my 3 yr old son. It looks great in the box but getting the pieces to stay together is next to impossible.
In fact my son threw all the pieces back in the box this morning and wants to return it to the store for another track. I’m afraid to buy another ‘take along track’ but he has a huge collection of the take along trains and I dont believe they are compatible with other tracks.
Anyway, not worth the $40. We will be returning this tonight.

This toy was a waste of money and provided nothing but frustration for my six year old son as it fell apart every time he played with it. It was put together by my brother who teaches Physics and Chemistry and more mechanically inclined than me.Even he could not get this thing to stay together.
I do not understand how after the recent Thomas recalls the company is apparently not even trying to produce a better quality product.A total disapointment especially to my son who LOVES all things Thomas.

I too did not read the reviews before I bought it, and we can’t even get it put together, much less get it to STAY together!! I’m seriously close to breaking out the soldering iron!! My son loves the trains and the tracks, but they barely stay together on the floor, much less suspended by flimsy plastic. Great toy for hardwood floors, very careful kids, and a lot of superglue. Other than that…you might wanna skip this one and get some of the other Thomas train sets that are a little more durable.
