i bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son and his smaller brother . they are not interested in it at all . it blows over constantly -you can not stake it into the ground .There are not enough ties to tie all four pieces together securely- there need to be ties at the top of the carriages as well as the bottom. .It isnt a crawl tunnel - as they can only go in one end - thomas's face needs to be a flap in my opinion. The role play idea is fine but no good for younger kids and i cant imagine older ones will want to stand still dressed as thomas and cranky.
expensive for what it is too.
