Summary of reviews
This puzzle is a hit with kids, offering an engaging and educational experience with its vibrant design and world landmarks. However, the wind-up cars are prone to breaking, which has led to disappointment among many guests. Despite this, the puzzle itself is sturdy and provides hours of fun and learning.

My kids loved doing this puzzle, but one of the cars broke within the first few hours. And I can’t find any place to buy replacements. So disappointing!

My son adores this puzzle and as an adult I enjoy helping him build it because of the lovely illustrations. Sadly, one of the cars broke the second time we brought the puzzle out so it’s no longer as fun and I can’t find replacement cars for the track anywhere. Very disappointing!

My 3.5 yr old daughter loves playing with this puzzle and running the cars around the track. However we’ve only had it for a short time and the cars have already broken. One of them won’t even wind up anymore. Looked on the website to see if you sell replacement cars but no luck. It’s a bummer because she really enjoyed it!!

Bought this in the store, so didn't bother to read the reviews--wish I had. My grandkids loved this right out of the box and couldn't wait to play with it again. Unfortunately, the second time out of the box, one of the cars didn't work, for no obvious reason. Disappointing as the cars are what makes this fun--definitely don't need another boring floor puzzle.

This is a really cool puzzle and track system. Was fun to put together and race the cars with my 4 yr old son. But he’s now terribly upset that one of the cars no longer winds up only a day after we bought it. Need better cars or a way to fix or replace them.

Our 5 year old received this for christmas and was able to play with it that day before both cars broke. If the cars were better quality or came with extras would highly recommend. However with the current quality you'll have disappointed children. The puzzle is great.

I bought the Tracks Floor Puzzle for my 4+ year old twin granddaughters. We had fun putting the puzzle together and they had fun with the cars for ONE HOUR. The cars then stopped running and I had 2 moaning girls on my hands. Great toy idea....need a better car. Now this is just a puzzle which they have plenty of. Disappointed in this Christmas gift!! Usually Melissa and Doug haas a quality product. Where can I get replacement cars????

My boys received this puzzle for Christmas and one of the wind up cars came broken. Very disappointed that the only solution is to return the entire puzzle and start again. This seems to be a common problem with this product and needs to be rectified by Melissa and Doug.

Sandy - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
Cars stopped running after ONE day of play. Great concept and loved it while it lasted but it’s a really cheap wind up car. The puzzle is great and we love the tracks but since these little cars don’t run, they can’t push any other type of toy car or train on this puzzle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This floor puzzle is so much fun. It has several landmarks from around the world and some animals. It is bright and colorful. It has 48 pieces. The pieces are easy to put together. My 6-year-old can put it together without help, but it takes a while if he is doing it by himself. It has two wind-up racecars that fit on the race track. The storage box didn't last long before my kids tore it up.
So cool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Race Track Floor Puzzle is a fun game featuring worldwide landmarks, such as Niagara Falls, Big Ben, Mt. Fuji, and many others. I like that the box is also a storage and no batteries are required. My kids had a lot of fun putting the puzzle together or using it as a race track. Highly recommend for fine-tuning kids’ gross motor skills, improving their hand-eye coordination, and strengthening their problem-solving skills.
