Cons: the laucning mechanism can hurt little hands
My 3 year old son loves monster trucks. Since this was a toy that he picked out himself, I had high hopes that he would spend a lot of time playing with it. Unfortunately, his interested in it lasted a few days. When he does pull it out on occasion, it is only good for a few jumps.
These are durable tracks with jumps designed for height not distance. The launchers are super easy for any kid to use, and the 2-y-o particularly loves hammer-slamming them. The trucks are super-durable with axles thick enough to be used as roller skates without distorting. The set comes with one awesome truck, but buy some more to ship with this track set; you'll be glad you did.
My grandson is 2 years old and is now obsessed with big vehicles. We bought this set because it was simple and not complicated to use. We can race the monster trucks or we can crash the trucks. He loves it. It is so easy to use and it occupies him. He can play with it alone or we can have fun together.
