Step 2 Up And Down Roller Coaster By cafn8me on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
We have owned this great ride-on toy since my son (now 8) was about 2. From the first day he got it, he used it for hours on end, day after day, week after week. And every time we had visitors, the children all lined up to use my son's "rollercoaster". This toy has survived innumerable birthday parties, backyard BBQ's, playdates, and plain old everyday use. It has withstood the cold, wind, rain and sun in our Massachusetts back yard, with nary a crack or split in its sturdy plastic construction. And six years later, it is still the favorite outside toy for any and all visiting children who are able to ride its vehicle down the 10-foot coaster track.
Its gentle slope allows just enough momentum to build for the child to enjoy a little wind in his hair. The vehicle has a sturdy handle, convenient footrests, and a high back to prevent the child from falling backwards.
Although the age specifications are for children 2-5, I still see my 8 and 6 year olds and their friends sneaking a ride when they think no one is looking...this toy is just THAT much fun!
We have a pool, 2 playhouses, several bikes, a swingset and various other ride-on toys, but the rollercoaster remains the all-time favorite of every visitor under the age of 8. If you're looking for a durable outdoor toy that will be used for years to come, look no further. The rollercoaster is your answer!

How fun! I didn't know they made such things. This sounds like something my kids would love! Thanks for sharing your experience and insight.
Sounds like fun. My grandson would probably love this!
I wanted to get my son one of these when he was little but we did not have a place large enough to put it. Now we have the space to put it but he's too old to use it. I want and adult size one for me to play on, it looks like so much fun.
Would be great if I had a yard to put it in....We have hardly any yard at all. Thanks for sharing the information.
This sounds like a load of fun. I would like to try it...lol j/k. I am glad that it is durabable and such a big hit. I think my 2 year old nice would love this. THanks for the great idea for a gift.
How fun! I took my granddaughter on her first rollercoaster ride last summer. She even put her hands up in the air as we descended! She would love this and I can see why all the kids want to ride it!
Quite a testimonial- the kids love it that much! I've never seen this- sounds great!
This toy is adorable! I've never seen this before, but it looks like fun. I'm sure the children love riding on this. Sounds like this riding toy has held up very well.
I have to get this toy. My daughter loves going down slides so a rollercoaster in our back yard would just be heaven. I am going to go look into this right now!!! And once I get it I am sneaking a ride on it!
This is a really cool looking toy! So, fess up... have you ever been tempted to try it out?
