My little guy just loves this. It is very compact when folded up and actually fits next to my sons entertainment center in a tiny little slit between the center and wall. It is a nice size when unfolded. As stated below in another review we did notice a funny smell after opening it at first but it quickly dissapeard. Actually when we folded it up to store I just stuck a downy sheet in between one of the folds and that helped right away!

It is actually roomy enough to have an adult sitting inside on one end and a child on the other end. We love it here! It's a nice quiet place for our son to go to read books...and sometimes he likes to peak out the front of the train and watch a Thomas Video!

Buyer beware on all Playhut products online that don't specifically tell you what the material is! They used to promote the nylon they used and made sure it was in each product description. Now they don't even tell what the product is made from because they are using plastic and "paper like" materials and selling them for the same price as durable NYLON. augh! I can wash my old Playhut things easily. They air dry and can be used for years. Try getting this junk wet and a finger could easy go right through it. The same warning goes for buying Playhut in the stores. Make sure you open it and SEE what it is made out of before you buy it. Playhut should be ashamed of what they are doing to their reputation. Cutting corners to add to their profits is losing customers who didn't mind paying more for quality but they refuse to pay more for trash!

We got this for our son at least four years ago, maybe five. Both our kids still play with it frequently. We misplaced the detachable smokestack somewhere along the way, but that's no big deal. It's held up suprisingly well considering the amount of playtime, and it nicely folds flat when it's time to store it away again.

My 4 year old grandson is obsessed with thomas..he owns the trains, dvds, books..you name it he has it..even a thomas hat..anyway when i surprised him at bedtime with a thomas tent..he was so excited..i mean so excited he was speechless..needless to say..he has not slept in his bed since i surprised him with this..he has dragged all of his favorite stuffed animals into the tent..especially at bedtime, even likes to have his meals in this tent..BUT, to unpack it is no problem, the material spot cleans well, however trying to fold it to fit in the carrying case has been the challenge for this grandma...reading the instructions is no help, so i fold it enough to fit in the closet when my grandson's gone home..this is a great toy for a kid, his infatuation with thomas and hours of make believe play...buy it it's worth it in so many ways!!

My 4-year-old is so disappointed. Thomas is ripping after only a few uses. I was disappointed when we opened the package and saw that it was made from the thin papery material used in disposable medical booties and gowns.

While I'm sure I can return it, that won't fix my son's disappointment. This toy was not worth it.

My almost 4 year old grandson had been wanting a Thomas the Train tent for months. So when I gave it to him for his 4th birthday, he was thrilled. I'm not sure he has come out of it except when he has to. He loves sharing it with his younger sister. I've spent my share of time with him in there also.

My two year old recieved this for christmas and has loved it soo much he has sleept in it every night since. We figured out that his crib matress fits in it perfectly. He use to throw fits about going to sleep in his bed now this makes it so easy for me! and him:)

My son (3 yo) has had this for about 8 months now and still loves it. Whenever his friends come over to play, they all inevitably end up inside the toy and take other toys in to play with. It is fairly durable and has been fought over and pulled from room to room many times. If your child loves Thomas, this is a good (if fairly large) toy to have.

My two year old has gotten hour and hours of play time with this. He loves it, and it has taken a lot of abuse, and still is going strong. The train is large enough for me to get into it with him (I am 5' 11"). This is a great toy and well worth the money.

I got this for my son for his second birthday party. It was the hit of the party since all the young guests wanted a ride in Thomas. A few kids at a time would go in and chug around the house. Now that it has been in the house for over a month, he still loves it especially when mama and daddy join him inside. I highly recommend this for all Train fans.
