We set this up on flat ground until they got used to it, and now, we have it on the top of the hill and they have a longer, thrilling ride. Best ages are from 2-6, and, with many children, instead of purchasing a 2nd car, the children wait their turn on numbered poly-spots(circles)at the bottom of the coaster. It is organized and fair. My children are 41/2 and 16 months, love this ride and their friends do too!
* It was easy to assemble. Just don't forget to put washers on both ends of the screws!!!

Bought this for my son's 3rd birthday; took longer to assemble than to give birth to him (and probably more painful); the parts were the wrong size (the nuts and bolts didn't match up; the bolt went right through the plastic hole - needed to add washers to keep it together); needed 3 trips to the hardware store; none of the holes were pre-drilled, so that added to the time and frustration; once assembled, it's a fun toy, but the set-up wasn't worth it

I recieved this item about 2 weeks ago. However, it did not come with any directions or hardware to put it together. Therefore, it is still sitting in my garage as I cannot put it together yet. I will be contacting Step2 and hopefully the service department is satisfactory. Disappointed that the company clearly has poor quality control as it didn't check for this before shipping!

My daughter and her husband order this for their son's sixth birthday as one of his presents. We received it by UPS the evening before the party, set up was not hard to do. The first time down my grandson was a little scared. He just turned 6 years old. We had been in a car crash and since then he is afraid to even spin around in a chair. After two times going down with assistance he became a pro rider. He loves it and it seems to have taken the fear of spinning and moving a way from him. It was great at the party and now all our grandkids and great grandkids (who live nearby) want to come everyday to ride the roller coaster. We love to set and watch them as they ride down. All their expressions are priceless. Ages of the children vary from 2 years up to 10 years and I even caught one of the older kids (age 15) going down it once to see if it was safe. It is such a joy for all of us. I say if you don't have one yet you should order one. One of our daughters said she has to get one just so her grandkids will come see her instead of down the hill to great grandmaws house. The kids marked off a finish line to see who can go the farther on the car. I have a little slope between my flower beds that is a dirt pathway and that has become their raceway, but that is okay I get to set on my porch and watch them play for hours and hours. We have other step 2 toys but I think this one is the biggest hit yet. Thanks for the joy it is bringing to all of us, best wishes from a grateful great grandmaw.

My Husband and I bought this for our son's 4th birthday, and he hasn't stopped raving about it yet. Every morning he asks, "CAN I GO RIDE MY COASTER????? PLLLEEEEAAASSSEEE"! The assembly is a little difficult considering there weren't any written instructions, but my husband has a lot of experience building things so it didn't take him long. We purchased it through the step2 website and it arrived within the week. The speedy delivery was great and the product is hands down amazing. I can't wait to furnish our yard with more step2 products!! Thanks for making such an amazing toy! It is sure to provide years of fun!

The grandparent's got this slide and my husband set it up in their backyard. It did take quite a while but he could pretty much do it by himself. The kids absolutely LOVE it and have had fun on it all weekend! It even rained the morning after we set it up, but it was very easy to dry off and the fun continued. Our 6 yr. old son is short for his age so he fits perfectly and even our 3 yr. old daughter had a blast and found it very easy to use. This was an AWESOME gift for the grandkids.

I bought this for my nephew and he loves it. To be honest, I'm a bit jealous because I wish we had cool toys like this when I was growing up. The coaster is very sturdy and easy to use. It's always a big hit amongst the cousins during family gatherings so we would recommend it to anyone!
