I bought this for my 3yr old's birthday as the next step up from the smaller (and much loved) coaster. i was nervous after some reviews for difficult set-up, but i had no problem. 4 big bolt in pre drilled holes, and a hand full of screws that went in easily (with a drill) but the holes were not pre-drilled. it took about 20 min to set up for me. my only issue with it is that it takes up half my garage. you can't just pull it apart like the smaller coaster. so put it together where ever you want to keep it. because its big and bulky. my children love it! my 3 yr old went right to it and played for hours. my fearless 13 mo old even loves to ride it (although i make him wear a helmet) i thought it would be to big for him, but he was so used to the smaller coaster, it was an easy jump to the big one. all the neighbor kids come out of the wood work whenever we bring it out to play. we have had it 4 months now and it hasn't gotten old at all. it was definitely worth the investment. i plan on using it for years to come!

We bought this for our daughter's 2nd birthday and she absolutely loves it! There were other children at the party also, ages up to 6 and they all had a blast. 2 of the other parents wanted to know where I got it from because they were going home to buy one. We went with the extreme coaster because the other one doesn't seem like she would enjoy it as long as this one.

My kids 7,5,2 love this Extreme Coaster! All the neighborhood kids love it as well. I wish they made one for Grown-ups! It is very durable. It is nice that it is weather resistant. We bring the car in at night. We have a slight slope that adds to the fun. We just move it around each day to keep the tracks in the grass from showing so much. [...]worth the cost...We love Step2!!!!

This item took about 45 mins to assemble. My son is 18 mos old and we were questionable as to whether or not he was too young to use the coaster. Our worries were fruitless, he loves it. Of course you need to highly supervise him with it due to the lack of a railing when stepping up to get to the car. The first thing we purchased was a helmet and he is very safe and loves his roller coaster.

Our kids are now 7 & 4 years old and have been riding this coaster for 4 plus years. All of their friends love it too. I would purchase the next size up if one was manufactured. It has been in our backyard in the Florida sun and it has held up very well. We have it positioned so the riders splash into our swimming pool with the car.

I bought this for my 4-yr-old and almost 2-yr-old boys, and they both love it. The 2-yr-old needs a little help getting into the car, but it won't be much longer before he can do it on his own. We have a very large and sloped backyard. We have the coaster at the top, flat part of the yard and they fly down the coaster and then almost all the way down our yard. I built it by myself while my husband was at work. It took me about 3 hours. It probably wouldn't take that long with two people though or with a power screwdriver. It seems very sturdy and great quality.

I love our new extreme roller coaster for our 26 month old son. He gets plenty of exercise running his car back and forth up the stairs. We use it indoors in a very open area with carpet to sustain the speed that the car can get. I strongly recommend supervising all youth and maybe consider a helmet if used outdoors as the car can speed for quite a distance. Our son loves his new toy and it is worth every penny.

Fantastic Item! I bought this for my 4 yr old & she loves it. She'll spend at least an hour at a time on it. Make sure you try it on grass first because it is fast! The only problem I had was that it didn't come with a seatbelt. [...] This is well worth the money.

The Extreme Coaster is worth it! This ride is great for neighborhood enjoyment. We have alot of kids that come over from the neighborhood and along with our own children, when we bring it out, it is always in use! Very sturdy and kids ages 2-11 are having a blast. Pay attention to the weight limit though because the Bigger kids will want to play on it:) for set-up time, make sure you read everything before you put it together because it is a bit of a project! BUT the result was well worth it!

Well the directions were mostly clear but i didnt put the washer on both sides of the bults so the bults pulled through the first part of the plastic and there is a gap there. Also when you have two kids it would be great if there was 2 cars because my kids just fight over the car. But they both love it as well as all the other kids that come over and no matter how cold it is outside they want to go play on it.
