BluTrack 18' Starter Set


A big hit in (and out) of our house!
I had never heard of "BluTrack" a couple of months ago, but when my soon to be 4yo son informed me he wanted a "race car party", I started researching the best tracks out there to race Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars on. I fully expected to buy a run-of-the mill Hot Wheels track at Toys R Us, but when I asked some veteran moms about their top picks, they pointed me towards BluTrack instead. It seemed like a lot of money to drop on a pretty simplistic looking toy, but I have to say, it has been a huge hit with both my kid & my hubby. Like the previous poster, it was a little "bumpy" coming out of the box, but we had no problem softening it up. It worked fine as is in the house, but when I moved it outside for the big race car party, the sun warmed it up and it got plenty smooth.

At our party, the track was a hit again with both the kids & their dads. I foresee getting a lot of use out of it, especially as my son gets older and can come up with different configurations on...
Overpriced for What you Get
We purchased this for our 3 yo grandson, who is car-crazy, after reading the many positive reviews. It is a no frills product and somewhat difficult to use. It is just a rolled up two laned track that is fastened, in our case, to the window with a sturdy suction cup. I can only imagine how difficult it might be to unroll in cold weather, as it never completely uncurls in our temperate climate. Our grandson does enjoy shooting his hotwheels down the incline, but any loops have been disappointing. For half the price, I would be very happy, but over $50 for this seems way overpriced.
Excellent Toy
We purchased this for our 2.5 year old who is showing an interest in cars. I was very surprised at the quality and durability of the toy, even with our child trying to walk on it and slide down it himself. We are letting him do his own thing with it and it is quickly becoming one of his favorite activities. It is of much higher quality than any competing products I've had experience with. We paid around $33 when we bought this, which seems fairly competitive for this length of track.

I would recommend this product.
