User Submitted Up & Down Roller Coaster Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-12-30 One of the best toys I've ever purchased!!! We got this toy about 5 years ago for our then 1 and 2 year old children. They are now 7 and 6 and still love this toy!!! No, they don't use it daily but we've gotten our money's worth. It takes up a lot of space so we mostly keep it in our downstairs family/play room which isn't used very often. On rainy or snowy days, it's great to send them down there and they find their way to this toy, even now. It is still durable enough to hold them but also they can use it for other purposes (they use the car to pretend they are skateboarding (sitting down). When they were younger, you would have to supervise them pretty closely since we didn't want any one of them running over the other but that is the case with any toy at that age. For other reviewers who claim it's not used enough, I'd recommend putting it away for a while and taking it out at certain times only. That helps make it something exciting for the kids to play with. In the summer we also used to take it outside for the kids to use in the yard. we certainly got our money's worth. I'd highly recomment this toy! Date: 2007-12-30 FANTASTIC!!!! What a great roller coaster! Excellent quality... hours of fun.. safe and sturdy! Well worth the money. We had it in our living room for a few months, then on the patio for a while after that. We even used it in the grass for my son's birthday party. Comes apart nicely into just a few pieces to store it. The track itself is loads of fun for toddlers to roll balls on or race cars down! Date: 2007-09-19 Purchased when my 10 year old was 3....and he STILL uses it!! We bought this years ago (identical, just in a gray color) for my son, who at the time had gross motor issues/social issues. My son's occupational therapist highly recommended this toy. It was GREAT for bringing neighborhood children into our yard, for teaching my son to take turns, and for building up his little muscles - he never tired of using the coaster down the incline in our front yard, and pushing the coaster up the hill to ride again. Fast forward seven years and two more children, and I can tell you we have definitely gotten our money's worth out of this rather pricey toy!! My 10 year old has fond memories of this toy and whenever his younger brother or sister pulls it out he still takes a turn or two. If you can set this toy on a slight incline, I highly recommend that for extending the ride and the interest for older children. For younger kids, you will want to keep it on level ground, or run along side them holding on if they go down an incline. My kids never got hurt USING the toy, although sometimes there might have been fighting over whose turn it was. All in all, one of the few toys I have purchased at full price and never regretted. Date: 2007-08-19 BESt toy for active toddler! I bought this toy for my daughters' first birthday and she can't get enough of it. Prior to purchasing it I was a little nervous because the coaster is recommended for 2-5 year-ols, but after we saw it we couldn't pass it up. She needed a little help getting on it when we first gave it to her, but within two weeks she was doing it on her own. By the time she was 16 months old she could push it up the track herself (with supervision). This is the only toy at our house that gets played with every single day. All the children that visit our house love it and if I put it away it is the first thing they ask for when they come in. My daughter has also learned alot about sharing with this toy. Since it has a set start and finish it is great for taking turns. They also enjoy walking on the track and rolling cars and balls down it. I would definately recommend this toy; however, they do take up pretty much space and toddlers need to be well surpervised when using this. It is pretty stable, but the car can be easily knocked off the track by a clumsy toddler. My daughter has also pinched her foot because she didn't put her feet up on the foot rests. That said, this was one of the best toy purchasing we have ever made! Date: 2007-06-07 So Much Fun!!! I got this toy for my 3 year old son for Christmas after running out of ideas. The reviews I have read said that older kids enjoy it too. And my son did! It came a week or two before Christmas and my son was at the door to see it arrive! Needless to say, we had to set up early (that night) and he had so much fun! It was super easy to put together and take it apart. My son loves riding on it backwards and forwards. He loves it so much! Well worth the money!
