I have a 4 yr old son and a 2 yr old daughter and they BOTH LOVE playing with this toy. It is affordable at $24.97 at Wal-Mart, comes with 2 cars that race and makes fun racing sounds and quotes. My kids race all kinds of goofy things besides the lightening Mcqueen / Francesco that come with the toy. It's a spiral track so they put balls, legos, solider guys..just about anything will roll down that spiral...hours of fun and It's compact so it doesn't take up alot of space!!
