I ordered this item for my grandson for Christmas. I haven't opened it yet, but it appears to be of GREAT quality. My only concern is that if you too order it for Christmas, BEWARE. It didn't come with any wrapping, just clear packaging that shows what the product is and a shipping label. Luckily, Andrew lives 1200 miles away and the surprise was not be spoiled.
Rating: - Better than I expected and a big hit with our 5 year old.
Our 5 year old just received this for his birthday and he wants nothing more than to play with it nonstop. He has used both his Pixar Cars diecast cars as well as his Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars on it. Although the Pixar character cars don't fit exactly within the lanes this doesn't bother him at all.
As picky parents, his dad and I thought the graphics could have been a bit better--there are a couple of places where one lane of the two land road narrows noticeably and it too narrow even for a Hot Wheel to not go over the center line. We also thought the actual road layout was a bit dodgey and could have been thought out better. Details like this don't detract from the play value, but they don't enhance the educational value.
On a positive note, I will say that this rug exceeded my expectations in two areas. First, the carpet is soft and supple. I was very pleased that it rolled out and stayed flat instead of suffering from carpet curl at the ends as I feared it would and like so many cheap and stiff runner carpets will. It is a runner size, long and narrow and our five year old can unroll it and lay it out by himself (a real plus!). Second, I expected that the carpet would smell, I have had unpleasant experiences in the past with chemical odors eminating from the backing material of carpets. There was none of that here. The carpet was absolutely benign in this regard straight out of the wrap. What a relief.
It is hard to say how durable the carpet will be, but it certainly seems sturdy. If we can keep the cat off of it and dirty shoes it should stay nice for a long time.
Overall, I am very happy with this carpet and with how much our son seems to be enjoying it.

I bought this for my 3 year old grandson who likes small cars. Before he only lined them up and pushed them on the floor. This "rug" now gives him a purpose and he really enjoys it: parking the cars, obeying traffic lights, stopping for pizza, visiting friend's house, etc. When he's finished playing after a while, his parents just roll it up and put it away. The colors seem bright and the product appears well made. The variety of places to go that are printed on the rug is very good for his age.

This play mat occupies my grandson for a long time, as he loves to drive his little cars and trains on it.
Rating: - Lots of fun!
My 18-mth old loves to drive his cars on this rug and stop at all the houses and the train station, etc. Very tough material, but still soft enough to play on. Great product!
