My 4. 5 year old twins love playing on the Farm Friends Roller Coaster both inside and outside. On hardwood floor it rolls impressively far after they reach the end of the ramp. Each trip down is met with squeals of delight! While outdoors, we tried it at the top of a slight hill in our yard for more momentum. The response from my little thrill-seekers was "That was awesome!!!" (Note: For younger toddlers, definitely stick with a flat surface for safety. Being at the end of the age range for this toy, we were more comfortable branching out. )
Like all Step 2 products, the Farm Friends Roller Coaster is made with the same durability we all know and love. While the weight range says up to 50lbs, it held up fine when my 75lb 10 year old decided he couldn't resist having a turn or two. Assembling the cow car had a couple snags, as none of the holes for the metal rods were predrilled large enough. Plan to have your drill handy, even though it's not called for in the directions. Also, when putting on the black rubber handle covers, a bit of cooking spray is your best bet for helping them slide on. Soapy water is suggested in the directions in a tiny side note, but that did not work for us. Assembly of the track itself is a total breeze, as it just snaps together, no tools needed. The whole toy stacks to store which is an added bonus.
Overall:
5/5 stars for fun and entertainment
4/5 for some assembly inconveniences
