Very Good

I got this for my son's 2nd birthday, and predictably, he loves it. The problem is that it tips over very easily (not in a way that would harm him - it's just annoying). Also, I thought it was made of a fabric like rip-stop nylon, but it's actually that fibery-papery-fabric (sorry - not sure what it's called), and I wonder how long it'll last before getting torn up by my son and his friends.

We had a similar train that lasted 9 years, 3 boys! This is not the same material!!! It is not nylon like the original, it is a cheap guaze material that can be ripped, poked through VERY EASILY! We had it one week, and window is ripped, seam coming out, and holes poked through! The only reason we had to finally throw out our original nylon one, it was left outside and cats sprayed it. It never had one rip. (just smelled horrible ;)) I'm returning this junk and surprised this is made by play hut. The box it came in has picture of original nylon tent!

Bought this Thomas "tent" for my grandson, age 2 1/2. It was an instant hit! It is a nice size - not too big. Has two ways to enter and of course you can just lift it up as it has no bottom. He can look out the windows and not feel completely isolated while playing in it. I particularly like that it is a good size - not so big that you have to clear furniture out of the room etc. but big enough for a couple of kids. Folds up nicely although hard to get the exact sequence of folds for the storage bag. I could try harder....I do get it to easily lay completely flat. This really is a great gift - especially for the Thomas the Train lover in your house!

I got this for my 20 month old son because he loves Thomas and needs an outlet for all his energy while he's cooped up for the winter. I had read all the reviews here and watched the *fabulous* video review and decided I'd give it a try. I have to admit I was a little concerned because when you first open it up, it seems rather flimsy and looks like it would rip very easily. Luckily, that is not the case--and my son has tested this. It took him a few minutes to warm up to the idea of going inside but I'm small (around 5 feet) so I could go inside and sit with him at first while he got used to it. Now he just loves it. He loves lunging in the door and then lifting the whole thing up and running out the front. The more he plays, the more excited he gets and the less delicate he is with this but it has proven very resilient. It also folds down really easily. We don't bother to put it in the bag, we just fold it up flat and tuck it behind an easy chair so we have ready access to it. If you're looking for some easy to use indoor fun, this is the toy to get.

We got this for our 2 year old son for Christmas. All four of our kids play with it, sometimes all at the same time. I love that it's bigger than most foldable tents and it can take all the rough housing my kids do.

This is actually a good review I bought this for my 2 year old brother and he absolutely adores this. While I will say the material is questionable and very flimsy but it is easy to deal with. It is a nice little in house tent that you can pull out, quickly set up, and have fun. It is not that tall, it was bigger than my little brother which I was happy about, but it is big. Both of us were able to sit in it comfortably and I even laid down and almost fell asleep. Well I'm only 5 feet but hey. The point is my little brother loves it and when he's feeling adventurous we set it up for him and he has a good time. I recommend it for anyone whose child loves Thomas the Train and who just want some moments to themselves because if you set this up I gurantee you the little one will be out of your hair. If you want to join in the fun that is fine as well. Even though the material was flimsy (not for outdoors definitely) my hurricane of a little brother did not destroy it which surprised me so it had to be durable. Great Buy!!!

I bought this because as a young boy i always loved having a fort of some kind, so i figured he would to and he loves it, everytime i pull it out he jumps in and forces me in with him (yes, i fit). There is some complaint though on the fabric on this item which it isn't a big deal at all, it is tough and will last some time, HOWEVER the sowing on it is terrible if thats what everyone is meaning on 'Fabric' but it will keep the tent together in one piece.

I did find a problem on folding it up back into the small circle for traveling... i tried many times to find that there is no way i can get this back into the small circle for traveling without permanently bending, and no it isn't that it feels like it will bend i mean it WILL bend, i have seen others do it and how they do it i will never know, maybe you will have better luck than i am.

I purchased the Thomas Tank Playhut for our four year old grandson's birthday. He loves Thomas the Train, so my daughter suggested we get the Playhut. It was the best birthday gift of the party. My other grandsons enjoyed it as much the birthday boy. He has taken naps in it as well as sleep in it overnight. It is easy to put up and easy to store. It was well worth the money I paid for the fun our grandsons have had. I would highly recommend it to anyone with a child who loves Thomas the Train or trains in general.

He is very destuctive little 2 year old but the material is strong enough for even him it is a great toy and he loves it!
