My 5 year old loves this! It's a little pricy considering it's just 1 part for the track, but it's worth it. Perfect for the kid who has a wooden track and loves to use trains AND cars! My son loves to create a city "inside" his train set, and now he can use the crossing for cars to go over it! The red barriers move, and they will snap in and out of the joints, so it would be hard to really break it.
