TEMIKids Race Track Toys with 3 Mini Cars - Puzzle Rail Car Adventure Playset for 3-7 Year Old Boys and Girls

Some kids need to an outlet for stimming, and this does the trick. This was a new toy for our autistic grandson. He enjoyed the mechanism and learning the routine of moving the parts around. Its for kids, so adults have to ignore the noises coming from it.

We got this for our daughter (age 3 at the time) on Christmas, and it was her favorite toy of several. Even being so young, it captivated her and she was soon able to do all of the tasks. She still likes it a lot at age 4, and it’s held up. It’s a fun toy for parent and child to do together too. We keep it in a closet and pull it out periodically for her (we find rotating toys is the way to go instead of having everything just out all the time), and she will play with it for a good 15-30 minutes. It’s also a favorite of her younger cousin when she visits. Love that it needs NO batteries. Only thing I’ve noticed: the ambulance car is better weighted/balanced than the other cars as sometimes the other cars have to be slightly nudged if they stop on the track descent. This toy encourages problem solving and fine motor skills. We’ve gotten it as gifts for her classmates’ birthday parties and one nice thing: classmates never seem to have one of these already so it’s nice to know it’ll be an original toy. One point of advice: if you get it as a gift, consider sending a link of the toy’s promo video so they can understand how it all connects together. I think it’s hard to get the concept or to initially grasp how neat it is without seeing the video first.

First the good. My son loves it. He has been playing with it since we put it together. I'd be a liar if I said I didn't play with it a little also. Cool idea and pretty fun LITTLE unit.I deducted two stars for a couple of reasons. 1st the picture shown is incredibly misleading. This is worse than the pictures in your local fast food joint showing succulent delicious tall fluffy burgers, only to find a flat soggy mess in the box when you open it. The description does indicate the size so I recommend reviewing the specifications before purchase. Buyer beware so I'm going to eat the cost since I didn't read through that part or the comments.I also removed stars because since the size is not accurately represented, the cars are much smaller than expected. I believe they will eventually find their way under the couch, in the laundry, under a tv stand, possibly sucked up in a vacuum. Also the item seems to be a little more flimsy than I had anticipated. I'm hoping it doesn't get broken but time will tell.Overall it's a fun LITTLE toy. I just feel that the company should pull that main picture that shows the large toy and represent the product accurately. Seems a little shady.

I have a 3 and a 5 year old. My 5 year old is non-verbal autistic. Both of my kids love this toy, and will play with it for a long time. Setup is easy. I like how it includes several different cars. The mechanisms seem to work consistently, and my kids were able to figure them out on their own. I think the variety holds their attention and demonstrates different forms of lift and motion, like a problem solving puzzle. Also, the toy is affordable, considering how complex it is.Cons: The plastic parts have skinny fittings and pegs that can snap. They are repairable with glue. However, they can only take so much abuse before they're irreparable. The materials they use are not the most durable, but they are also what makes this toy affordable, so it's a tradeoff.Overall, this is a good buy.

The product photo has to have been photoshopped. The toy is very tiny! In the display photo of a child playing with it, the race track looks like it might be as much as two feet square. It's really more like nine inches square, making it totally useless. It is so small, that a two year old could fit all three cars in his mouth at once. It is too small for a two or three year old to manipulate the cranks and levers. But it is too simple for a four year old to enjoy. My grandsons that are 4, 6, and 9 played with it once, for about five minutes, and that was it. The three year old tried it a couple times, and was frustrated by it. The two year old only puts the small pieces in his mouth. I would NEVER recommend this toy. If the creator would re-create it to make it much larger, then it would be perfect.

My boy loved it but it broke it very quickly

This race car track is packed with fun! It’s a cool combo of a race track and puzzle play all in one. It’s imaginative and educational.The only downside is that it can be a little tricky for younger kids—my 3-year-old needed help figuring out how to use it. With some guidance, though, they still had a blast and loved the cars most of all.
