Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Prepared, set, spin. Kid will love the put - & - take fun of placing chilled race cars on the ramp. They roll down & around on the swirling, light - up raceway, then, surprise. The spinning action sends each automobile out to the exit ramp & under the spinning flag. Or kid can pull the gearshift to start the fun. Zooming speedway sounds, lively music & flashing lights ramp up the excitement, with a winner every time. Requires four C batteries

Educational:
May not appear educational ("abc/123, repeat, repeat..duh"), but shows plenty of fundamentals of physics ie: motion, friction, gravity, centrifugal force, inertia, action/reaction, colors, lights, and sounds. The lights and sounds are thrilling for him. Flipping the finish line flag will make a "zoom, beep beep" sound which makes him laugh. He will flip that around a bunch of times to listen to it, now its a tiny worn and will pop out of the holder (ball joint thing).
Sitting up Incentive:
My son was 8 months and not that interested in sitting up at the time they got this for him. One time he started playing with it, he desires to sit up to play. This is a great toy for that transition period. He is now beginning to crawl and this also gets him up on all fours to see the track spin around.
Overall:
Great toy for infant about to sit up or crawl. Observing the basics of physics.
What my son liked:
For him, he was not a lot interested in the cars spinning, but desired to watch the track spin and put his hand on it to see what was going on. He will repeatedly press down and let go and press down on the track, so I am positive the motor process will wear out finally. This ought to be expected when you buy it.
