Great fun...until the 2 cars it comes with get lost

My son received this for Christmas 2004 (he's 3) and had a blast with it. That is until the 2 cars got lost, they don't sell them online anywhere, nor at any of the brick and mortar major toy departments. Now he can't play with the toy, might as well throw away the whole thing now.

1 and a half years later - best toy I ever bought!

I bought this for my son when he was three. It was so easy to pack up and take along when I had errands to run. It has never fallen apart and all the pieces fit into the carrier. He still plays with it one and a half years later. He loves it! Great price for the length of time he's had it. Wish there were more in the series.

can be frustrating to put away

My son got this for his 6th Birthday, and he and his 3 year old brother have a great time with it. We have taken it on several 4+ hour car rides and it has been handy for the bordom. BUT, trying to get all the pieces put away in the case can be a pain in the neck, especially when you are in a hurry (ie, trying to leave a resturant). The noises it makes, while my boys find very amusing (as does my husband) can be a little disturbing to others in boothes around you.
