Title: Fun, but gobbles batteries
Product review: Gave this to my 3-year-old son for xmas. He loves it. I also like it. It doesn't really encourage creative play like something like Thomas the Tank Engine sets do, but he is captivated by the speed and motion and he enjoys experimenting with cars of different weight to see what cars go the fastest. The drive wheels are well designed and try as I might, I couldn't manage to get the wheels to pinch my fingers in any way. However, he used the track about a total of an hour of "up time" and the pair off D-batteries has already started to dwindle. Might be worth looking into some rechargables, but 2 NiMH D-cells will probably cost more than a 12-pack of alkalines! Overall, fun toy.
