Construction Toys Race Track Set 178 PCS for Kids, Flexible Train Tracks with 1 Electric Train, Excavator,Cement Truck,Loading Truck Engineering Vehicle Playset,Gifts for 3 4 5 6 Year Old Boys Girls

Good toys but didn’t design properly
The coconut trees are a bit low, and it will block the cars. The power of cars were just ok to run on flat surfaces. When climbing onto the bridge, it is a bit difficult for the little cars to go up.

〰 Fun For the Little Ones 〰 Maybe Less Fun For the Parents 〰
I bought this Dinosaur-themed race track back in August 2021, for my (then) 4-year-old son. This set came with 2 dinosaurs, 2 electric cars, 4 trees, 1 bridge, a dinosaur ”head tunnel”, a swinging-style-door, and 160 pieces of tracks.Each car is powered by a single AA battery which makes the back wheels turn and makes the 2 front headlights alternate colors from red to blue. The flexible tracks are relatively easy to setup : you just click the ends together. It is worth mentioning that at first, my son did need assistance to install the tracks on the bridge and slopes though, as it required finer motor skills.The track size and shape can be customized, with twists and turns. You can also create ”your own slopes” by sliding a small object underneath the track (my son likes to use mini stuffed animals for this part). We have had this set for a while now, and my son has played with it extensively, and to this day, he still loves playing with it.~~~~~~~~ Why I rated it 3 stars ~~~~~~~~- The batteries do not last long in these 2 cars. We exclusively use alkaline batteries and after 15-20 minutes (depending on the battery brands) of playtime, the cars simply don’t have enough power / speed to go over the bridge slopes, so we have to put new batteries in relatively often, especially for longer playtimes. 〰 To solve this, maybe the car design should be modified to accommodate 2 AA batteries instead of just 1 ?- The track pieces don’t have enough of a sturdy hold when clicked together. If you want to switch the assembled tracks from the kitchen table to the floor for instance, more often than not, the track pieces unclip and you’re left with a few pieces of broken tracks. This is especially true for the tracks that are on the bridge and slopes. So, rebuilding / re-clipping a part of the track is often needed when trying to move the track to a different area in the house.- The bridge ”legs” are simply too loose when assembled and they, therefore, slide-out and fall off the bridge upper structure very easily if you lift the track. To solve this, I actually ”hot-glued” them to the bridge base to prevent that from happening and although it’s an eyesore, it has worked well to fix the collapsing bridge issue.~~~~~~~~ Final Thoughts ~~~~~~~~I would say that this has been an ”ok” purchase for the most part, as my son has played with this countless times. Would recommend if you want an inexpensive toy, but I would definitely suggest to stock up on AA batteries for longer playtimes.

Does not work with other sets
We bought this to add more pieces to the other set we bought from the same listingThey make them different widths so you can’t combine themThese are cheap and flimsy and break easily but they come apart quickly and can be setup quickGuess buy the same thing multiple times if you want a longer set I’ll be sending this back

Give it a chance
We bought this for our grandson’s visit. When we opened the kit , we thought about returning it. We found the the quality lacking specifically with secondary vehicles in the kit. There is also no assembly instructions. We gave it a chance. Once assembled we found that it worked quite well . The train is durable and runs on the track well. Our grand children loved it and we are considering buying an additional kit to expand the track. Like the title give it a chance , you’ll be glad you did.

Love these. I bought two for them to put together and make a large track- they’re easy to put together (although the bridge portion does fall apart and breaks easily,) and my 3 and 5 year olds enjoy them. The cars do burn through batteries easily though, we use about a battery a day for each car, and if they forget to turn the little cars off and leave them running against the wall or something else, the motor will burn out and it will stop working. I absolutely recommend these tracks though- I love that they’re easy to put together and take apart, because that means they’re put away quickly and set up- and they’re easy for the little ones that just want to watch them go.

Fun toy that has lots of opportunities to change it up because the tracks can be connected interchangeably. The Jeep’s are fast and rugged with an easy to use on and off switch underneath. The flashing headlights are great for nighttime or trying to find the cars. The bridge can be adjusted and really look like it’s off roading.
