My triplets loved this!
My trio loves this. Our ramp did have a defect in the ramp. The hook wouldn't stay on but hubby finally got a permanant fit to it.

great all-around toy
My 21 month old son loves this toy. Generally, I buy a toy and it is old news within a few days. But it has been nearly a month and it is the one toy he plays with everyday. When I play with him, I try to teach him names of things, sounds, colors, etc, so it can be educational, too. I think the Little People concept is great for toddlers since it stimulates imaginatory play.

Fun toy, but not the best from Little People
My 2 year old son is a big fan of Little People and has been for about a year now. He received this as a gift when he was about 20 months old. He really enjoys sending cars down the ramp. I was very happy to discover that the Playskool cars and trucks for babies/toddlers fit in the elevator and the ramp as well. My son also loves to send the people down in the wheelchair that came with the Little People bus! He also enjoys having the truck tow the car and also likes to "fill" the gas tank of both vehicles.

My biggest complaint about it is that it's an awkward size. It's pretty large (larger than I expected), but if you set it on the floor, it's harder for them to play with the stuff on the bottom (gas pump, pull in for the station, etc.). If you put it on a table, it's harder for them to put things on the top level and send them down (and my son is in the 95th %tile for height). My other complaint is that the ramps come apart pretty frequently which is annoying (but easy enough to fix).

Bottom line: I think the farm, zoo, or house provide better learning opportunities in a smaller size that is easier to store. They also have more things "to do", but if you have a child who is really into cars, this will be a hit.

worth the money
My son loves putting everything from the little peoples car to cereal down the track. I like it because it is of good size. It is a nice big size but not to heavy so he can drag it around the house. it is durable and a bit hard to put together. I think it was worth the money simply because he enjoys it soo much.

Not like the old days
The racing ramp was a favorite toy of me and my brothers, so I thought it would be great for my son. Not so much. This version makes little sence. The elevator is hard to use, the ramp functions more on it's own. You can't really imagine you are in a car garage, using every level. My car crazed sone uses it MUCH much less than I thought he would. I'd buy a different car ramp after using this one. It was dissapointing. I'm combing second hand stores looking for the vintage version!
