Let's Race!     Posted 09 October 2008 My 2 year old loves this and so do I! This racer by Maxim is made of sturdy wood and the colors are fun. The two cars speed down the ramps and switch directions at every angle change. It's always exciting to guess which car will win! Fun for the whole family, boys and girls alike would think it's really cool.
Age recommendation should be 18 mos to 2 yrs     Posted 23 August 2008 This is a fun and well constructed toy that helps develop hand-eye coordination for toddlers, but I am subtracting a star for the inappropriate age designation listed on the product description and the box. In my opinion, 3-year olds and up will be bored with it.
However, I gave it to my 2-year old nephew and it was just perfect for him. Correctly seating the cars in the tracks was just the right challenge for him, and he spent a great deal of time experimenting with how the ramps worked and what happened when you put the cars in different places. There are no bells and whistles -- nothing lights up -- no electronic sounds -- just the simple mechanics of gravity and momentum. What a refreshing change!
The ramp and cars are made of wood and solidly put together. (He tested that, too!) I hope that he will spend many hours with it, although I suspect that once he is old enough to put the cars in correctly every time, his interest will wane. That's why I think it is more appropriate for younger toddlers than the product description suggests.
Great simple toy!     Posted 25 January 2008 I bought this for my 2.5 year old nephew for x-mas and it was clearly his 2nd favorite toy out of about 50 total! (#1 being a set of instruments - he's very into music, but he had a blast with this racer too.) He got a little frustrated when the cars didn't slide down the track properly but it doesn't happen that often...with a little guidance he picked up quickly and plays with it over and over and over....almost a little annoying for the adult because of the monotony but he loves it so it's okay. I didn't find that any of his other cars worked though and other reviews said they did so not sure I would count on that if purchasing. The wooden ones it came with work great though.
Cute, but not that exciting     Posted 23 January 2008 I thought my 4 year old and 21 month old would love this for Christmas, but they have yet to give it much attention. The 4 year old plays with it more than the younger one. I think they got too many other things that do a lot more so they are not that interested in this one.
Ramp Racer     Posted 18 May 2007 My 18 month old loves his ramp race (almost as much me). He pretty much trys to put anything in there, but is learning only to use small cars. The two cars that came with it, get down the ramps about 90% of the time without crashing.
