Explain geotrax to me...

So, we are thinking about telling someone to get Austin the Cars version for Christmas. Obviously there are all different kinds that you can buy, and I always see them at consignment sales, so if she's buys him this one set, can I buy more at sales and add to this one to make it bigger? Or are all the tracks and cars different? Is Austin too young at age 2 for them? Should we wait til next Christmas? TIA! :)

  • From what I could tell at my friends place you can add diff tracks to one another perhaps I am wrong so I hope someone with it chimes in.

    They are on DS list this year as well. I love the remote and both boys could work them so A would be fine.

  • Yes, you can add different sets and more tracks.  Robyn has a ton, she'll know more!

    2 isn't too young either.  Evan got some for his birthday.  Personally, I dont' like them b/c the trains don't stay on the tracks for shyt but we get them out once in awhile.  I'd rather have a train table if I had a choice or the space (which we DO NOT have).

  • Yup!  You can buy track sets, elevation sets, etc to add to the existing sets.  We have everything from the Christmas train to Cars, and random regular Geo Trax sets and combine them all when we want one big set.  The girls love them from Mara's age to even Peyton.

    We are getting a train table, and that's one of the reasons why I don't know if we really NEED this (well of course we don't NEED it, but ya know! :)). I get really stressed just looking at the huge bags of 100's of pieces at the sales, but I'm sure he would like them? I don't know. Christmas is really hard at this age. Especially knowing that he plays with very little of the obscene amounts of toys that he already has.

  • We have a train table and the boys love it, but I think next year they will like it even more. They can put the tracks together, but still need some asistance. Our trainset is not electric so they have to push it. I like the geotrax because they get to use the remote. They seriously played with it for over an hour at a playdate.
