This toy is absolute fun for both mom and son. If your kid has tons of hot wheels cars this is the perfect thing to get. Its so much fun to see which cars are the fastest. Also it basically comes right out of the box without all those stupid twist ties like every other toy usually has. Set up was very simple. I cant attest to the durability of this product at this point because we just opened it and it can be wobbly if your knocking into it alot. But its just so much fun. Also the "cars movie" (lightening mcqueen etc.) "mini adventures" cars work with this too.

I couldn't decide between the 4 Lane Raceway and the 3 lane Downhill Raceway. Four cars or three cars, $20 or $50, straight down or hilly down ?? I never got Amazon's "FLASH" demo to work so I went w/the Downhill model as I already can go straight down with basic orange track (just not 3 or 4 in a row). Now that I have the Downhill Raceway in hand, I can't believe how small it is. It looks/feels like a $12.99 toy. The box does NOT come w/a vehicle as indicated in the description. Note: The toy height is 14" tall, so the description wording regarding a 6-foot drop is somewhat misguided. Given the low drop height & hilly decline, the cars won't be going all that fast when they hit the finish. If you elevate the Downhill Raceway by as little as 6", the cars go flying off the slope. This makes it difficult to ever get any speed for any add on track. Note, the built-in add on connectors are only a 1/2" long. Not long enough to secure most add on track for more than a couple races. Over-all the track is wobbly making it easy to (accidentally or not) knock over. Overall, I recommend the 4 Lane Raceway over this model for price and performance.

My 3 1/2 year old loves this thing. He was so excited we had to stop to calm him down after ten minutes of play. He actually slept with it. He has tried to race cars side by side on seperate pieces of orange track for weeks now and I feel bad I didn't see this toy before. Like all plastic toys they need some proper set up and supervision but this thing worked great for 3 hours no adjustments. Till he fell on it ,then we just put it back up . I've read some reviews that say these toys are flimsy but I don't want my son playing with a nice sturdy steel track bolted to the floor. That might cost more than 20.00. and he'd get hurt falling on steel. He's a klutz just like Dad, Great toy.
