This was a special gift for a 4 year old boy. Special indeed! This is played with constantly. Pushing the car up the coaster is a good workout. I'm a huge proponent for any toy/game/activity that kids kids active. This roller coaster is awesome! Step 2 does not disappoint.

I ordered this for my son's 4th Birthday party [...] My husband and father put it together in about 10-15 min.s. When I saw it in the living room I thought it was too big and I had made a mistake but I was wrong. My son was scared at first but from the first ride down he was hooked. All the kids at the party loved it. Even a 1 year old loved it but he's extreme! All the parents said where'd you get it now I have to get it because my son/daughter LOVES it. What my husband loves is that he can just relax while my son is on it he doesn't have to do anything. We had my son wear the helmet at first but he doesn't now. I still think he should but the ride is very safe and sturdy. Love it.

My son uses the smaller version at school and loves it so we got him the bigger version for his 4th birthday. He loves this bigger version too! It's easy for him get the car up the track and he tries to see how far he can get the car to go each time. It's great exercise!

We bought this coaster to have a toy at our house for our grandchildren to play with. We also have a playhouse and sandbox, but this product is by far been used the most. Over time, our grandchildren have become bored with other toys-but not this one. We have had it for 4 years, and they still love it. It is great for all ages too. As babies, we placed them in the car. As they got older, they have learned to push it up themselves. The exercise they get is an added bonus. Even our 6 and 7 year old grandchildren love it, although they are a little big for the car. You will not be wasting your money when you purchase this product. At Halloween this year, we had trick or treaters who wanted to ride the coaster instead of getting candy.

I have three girl ages 1-5. All of them love this. My 3 and five year old play on this everyday. My one year old uses the steps as a climber, so it is super great for that too. It did take a while to put together, but I'm sure it would have gone faster if three kids weren't helping. I know we will be using this for Many years.

I have two grand daughters. One is a more of a tom boy and not afraid of anything and the other is a girly girl that is very cautious about trying anything that even looks a little scary. I thought she would be too afraid to try the coaster but she loved it and wanted to go again and again!

We purchased the Extreme Coaster for our two grandsons, ages 1 1/2 and 3 1/2. We were quite sure that the boys would like it and we were quite sure that we would be happy with the quality since we have purchased quite a few other Step 2 items. The Extreme Coaster surpassed our expectations. The boys LOVE it and so do their young cousins. The 3 1/2 year old can "coast" independently and it won't be long until the 1 1/2 year old can push the car to the top. Our son-in-law was able to set up the Extreme Coaster on an incline.... so the kids really get a super ride.

THIS IS A GREAT COASTER FROM STEP 2 WE ENJOY WATCHING THE KIDS AS THEY ROLL DOWN . IT BRINGS SMILES TO ALL OF OUR FACES.5 STARS.WE HAVE HAD THE COASTER FOR A LITTLE OVER 2 WEEKS THE ONLY DOWN SIDE IS THAT THERE IS NO GRASS WHERE ITS BEEN USED SOOO MUCH! KIDS LOVE IT AND WE LOVE IT.

I am a child care provider with a home day care. My children absolutely love this. It is a bit unstable and flimsy, but if you watch the children while in use it is not a problem. It is VERY easy to put together and therefore, comes apart easily. Wish it was in more neutral colors like the Naturally Playful Line. Well worth the money for keeping children entertained. Even safe for two year old's. Car stays on the track easily, but does go a lot further than the actual product end. Make sure you have a lot of safe space. They can easily keep flying an additional distance of the actual product. [...]

Colorful addition to our backyard playground for our very active 3 year old son. There are no rough/sharp edges and the pitch of the steps are easy for him to manage on his own. Easy to assemble if you have 2 people working on it and appears to be very sturdy. Unfortunately you will need to take some time to disassemble nuts/bolts if you want to store for the winter out of the elements. We've only had it for 2 months and no complaints so far.
