This was a gift for his 3rd birthday several months ago... Too many small parts. I had to hide most of them since they are choke hazards and he still puts things in his mouth now and then that he isn't supposed to.. He was left with the racetrack part which held his attention for a day or two then he moved on to play with other classic toys he likes better (lincoln logs, road rug, wood blocks)  Thought it was fragile - afraid if he fell or stepped on it, would break. My husband and I couldn't figure out exactly how everything worked (ramp?) - the road itself was all put together right, we thought it was supposed to do something else but couldn't figure out what was special about the toy.. There either wasn't instructions included, or they weren't very good. Now I see online the cars are supposed to jump off a ramp or something.  Since he hasn't played with it for a few months I'll probably be giving it away to goodwill.. Decided to get him the blutrack this xmas for his matchbox cars, which I think he will have a lot more fun with, and its only one piece so nothing to break or swallow!
