Amazon.com Product Description Young conductors will definitely be all aboard this twist and fold Thomas the Tank Engine tent. Featuring EZ Twist's patented twist-and-fold technology, the tent sets up instantly and, when fully folded again, stores in a small included bag that's no larger than a grocery sack. The only assembly (and it's not even required) is to attach the inflatable steering wheel to Velcro toggles. Once the freestanding train is up, preschoolers and toddlers can place chairs inside to take them on imaginary rides around Sodor Island or dream up a slew of other creative play scenarios. Slip a sleeping bag inside the large (52"L x 26"W x 38"H) hideaway structure and kids can even extend their daytime adventures into naptime escapades.
The bright blue, red, yellow and black two-cube engine has a sunroof so little heads can look ahead for any dangers on the track, a tunnel port for crawling through, and swinging side door access for realistic play. The lightweight material and compact storage makes this tent very portable, allowing kids to take something familiar to new places -- or the grandparent's house.
This fun Thomas tent has plenty of room for friends.
We've had this for yearsNovember 14, 2008 After several years, this tent is still intact and gets played with on a weekly basis. My kids can be pretty rough on their things so it's pretty amazing this has lasted so long. Folds away neatly. So many things you can do with this neat little tent, even long after you're over the Thomas craze itself.
Great for imagination!November 7, 2008 My 2 year old son just HAD to have this after playing with it at his cousin's. It is perfect for our tiny house because it folds flat for easy storage. It is extremely easy to set up and also to put away. Easy to clean up after a busy day of playing. Big enough for at least 3 kids to play in comfortably and my little one loves to eat his lunch and take naps in it, too. We got more than our money's worth.
Nephew loved it!August 30, 2008 I sent this for my nephew and he loved it. Great price and excellent shipping!!
The fun trainAugust 13, 2008 There is a world of imagination hidden in this toy. It was the hit of the party for my grandson's second birthday. If you know a youngster who is a Thomas fan, this is the toy for them to foster their creative spirit.
Captures the kids attention immediatelyAugust 8, 2008 I got this for my friend's son (a 3 year old) for his birthday. The gift was an instant hit with the kid. It served as a play tent - "his own home" - as well as a huge train he could actually get into and play. He was thrilled. The colors were also bright and nice and that added to the attraction. It has a sun roof and windows through which the kid can see you and that helps as well.
The tent is quite spacious that a kid and an adult (a slim adult) can actually get in and play. It took 30 seconds to open and set it up and so quite easy for the parents in terms of maintainability and maneuverability around the house.
In terms of durability I cannot comment since I got it just a week back so we will have to wait and watch. But it looks pretty durable to me!
Overall I would say this is a great gift for any kid!
