Are they actual cars that a 4 yr old can just zoom across the floor? I don't want something that he needs a computer to play with them.

for a 4 yo it may not be exactly sthg he may enjoy since the front wheels are locked and relies on the rear wheels and a middle steel ball. they may not go straight without the launchers and by just shoving especially on carpet. it makes sense to use them with launchers sold seperately as a set which is again sthg that a 5-6 yo may enjoy the least. the telepods are added bonus to use with the iphone/android game which was nice since mine is hooked on the game already before i had purchased these. regardless these are very solid and will not break easily and will last for years

They are actual cars, but about 60% of the size of a Hot Wheels or Matchbox car. Very detailed and cute, though.

Yes. I bought them for my AB-fanatic 5-year-old. But they are pretty small (1"x2"). The wheels do rotate, and they're super cute. He puts the piggies around and makes the cars crash into them.

Yes you can. I actually bought a set of them for my grandson the wheel base on these cars is wide enough to fit over the slits that are down the middle of the tracks. He has also used match box cars on it but the wheels tend to get stuck in the middle slits, these tracks were meant to be used with the Fisher-Price cars.

Yes, I agree. My three yo uses the Disney cars all the time and is untroubled that they might not be optimal. He loves this garage. BTW, don't throw away the directions - he also likes to take it apart regularly.

We bought a set at toys our us and it was a wonderful race set for a 5-6 year old he could drag it around and it did not come apart! Just buy extra cars!!!

If your child like very small cars. Good to put in a pocket. I got them for my 4 year old grandson to play with in church.

Yes. Awesome gift. My four year old still plays with it. It also comes with some cars that are similar to Thomas and Brio.

My 9 year old and his friends play with it a lot...I would have been hesitant to let him play with it at 2 as the cars go really fast and the potential for him getting hit by a car is fairly good. If you do, I would sit with him the whole time.

Yes, our 2 1/2 year-old grandson has ALL of his cars in the garage, as long as they "fit" - by his criteria! His little arms can easily reach in and drive them around. He isn't particular whether the cars and trucks all match. He has his Dad's matchbox cars and various other size vehicles. His favorite thing is zipping them down the ramp ! It is also very sturdy because he leans on it to drive cars on the middle and bottom levels. Hope this helps. Good luck!!!

I got this for a 2 year old, but my son is 13 and loves to play with it with the 2 year old. Just get extra cars so they don't have to retrieve the cars a lot. More cars is more fun.

I would say no, unfortunately. It is a tiny car and really designed for 3-4 year olds. My kids grew out of them quickly, but they did enjoy them while they could. I transitioned them from the car to a radio flyer big wheel, the one with the low seat and the really large front wheel. They LOVED IT! and fit in it up until 2nd grade.

Yes, Matchbox cars will work, as well as Hot Wheels, and the little wooden cars & trucks that go with train sets. This is a well made set, but allow plenty of time for assembly! Once done, it will last for years. My 4-year old grandson absolutely loves this garage set. Sparks imagination - good old fashioned fun!

Depends on your kid. If he loves cars then he will like this garage. If he doesn't play with cars very much he probably won't play with this garage.

That really depends on how interested he/she still is in the little cars; I have a 9 year old that hasn't been real interested in playing with it, but our 7 year old boy will play with it, esp. with me, but not as often as we did a few months ago when we first got it. I wish the track was a little longer, but it does work pretty well.

I don't think so. I asked my 5 year old twins who love the Tomica sets - they both said no. They have a bunch of Tomica cars they use with this garage along with all their smAller hot wheels and matchbox cars. Larger hot wheels and matchbox - like SUVs - get stuck.

He would have fun with it after someone put it together. I bought it for my 4 year old grandson... He was not able to put it together, he had fun watching the cars fly around and off the track. Two may be a little young..

For any kid who is less than 4 yr old the attention span is just few minutes. If they find out they cannot play any game they lose interest in that right away. I would suggest get some cheap plug n plays for 3 yr olds and then get a more expensive one like VSMILE or LMAX or even GAMEBOY when they become 4 yr olds. Maybe by then you might find more variety to choose from

I highly recommend Lego Duple Creative Cars. I bought it as a birthday gift for my toddler when he turned 2 years old. It has been 6 months since I bought him Creative Cars and he STILL plays with it everyday! He uses his hands a lot because the pieces are designed so that the child clicks together and pulls apart pieces in order to make different cars. My toddler always has such a serious look on his face when he is creating the cars. I do see him using his hand muscles to create various styles of cars. So far it has been the best toy of his life :)
