I bought this for my 15 mo. old son so that he would have some trains of his own to play with while his 2.5 year old brother plays with his trains. It has met that purpose. The two dog cars and the one ball car (the ball rotates while it moves) are great. They are cute and sturdy and the boys know whose cars are whose.

The things to know ...
1. None of the cars fit in the zippered pocket of the plush dog. So if you're counting on that feature know that it's not what it's cracked up to be.
2. The bone leash does a good job of pulling the cars (though my son is not interested in doing that). While there are mangets on the bone and the plush dog the magnets are not strong enough to pull the dog. (You can tuck the bone into the dog collar if that really matters to you)

In summary - the cars are great, so if you're comfortable with the price for 3 cars then I'd recommend this toy. While the plush dog is cute, it doesn't do what it says it will. My son isn't playing with it either. So, if you're drawn to this predominantly for the plush dog, I can't recommend it.
