Darda Upside Down Overpass

Darda is a huge hit with my four year old daughter!She loves her track, even though she has little to no interest in assembling it.Once assembled, though, the track is fairly sturdy and easy to keep set up for several days.We put it in our dining room and a few times each day would sit down and run our cars on it for awhile.

A month after Christmas, it's been moved to a bedroom where visiting children flock to play with it.We have three cars total so there are enough for a few to play at a time.

Some 3 year olds don't have enough manual dexterity to move the cars fast and long enough to wind them.They also seem to not understand that starting the car on the straight, level part is most effective.I've had to demonstrate that to a few little boys, but my daughter caught on right away.I'd probably not suggest this toy for someone under age 4.

Our daughters loved playing with the display at our neighborhood store, but once we got it home, we quickly realized that in order to use the track in any of the suggested configurations, one would need to screw the green baseplates to a table or board (like they have it at the store).

However, there is no indication of this on the box or in the instructions. In fact, the instructions say you can use it on the carpet.

The problem is the big, twisted "overpass" piece of track. When you bend it to make the giant loop, it naturally pulls the two green baseplates up off the floor! So you cannot run the cars on the track without holding down each baseplate with your hands.

That's just plain ol' bad engineering.

Darda: Either clearly tell customers they'll need to screw it to a table like a train set, or re-engineer the set to not pull up like this.

We got this for our sons for Christmas based on the great reveiws that others had given it and were disappointed.The car jumps the track frequently before completing one go-round.Some of the track pieces do not fit together well, which effects how smoothly the car can go. The track is so light weight that it does not sit flatly on the ground as shown in the photo. Both our 5 and 9 year olds have set it aside.
