Toys and Games Reviews of Playhut Thomas the Tank Train Engine Play TentCustomer Review: almost perfect! Summary: 4 Stars
For my two-year old granddaughter, this is a wonder and a delight! The instruction sheet is useless. To attach the chimney, open the tent, unfold the bungied plastic tube and place it inside the "boiler" part of the tent near the top. You will see two velcroed holders where it fits. Then attach the chimney to the exterior velcro tabs.
It took me three hours to figure out how to fold and put away the blasted tent! Fold the "boiler" against the cab as shown in the diagram. When you have a flat rectangle, position the "boiler" away from you and, starting at the top left, roll the rectangle over itself twice, aiming for the bottom right. You may have seen the car windshield sun screens that are silver on one side and black on the other. Although the Thomas tent is stiff, it folds down the same way. I was afraid I'd break it at first, but knew that if it couldn't be easily put away, my son-in-law would not permit it to stay up in the house! Now my granddaughter "helps" put Thomas to bed at night in his blue tote bag, and asks to have him "wake up" in the morning!
Oh--note that it is an inside toy only. There is no floor.
Description of Playhut Thomas the Tank Train Engine Play TentHop aboard Thomas the Tank Engine for hours of make-believe play. This two-cube structure snaps into place in seconds. Enter through the side entrance or tunnel door; there's mesh ventilation in the roof and two mesh front windows. Tunnel ports allow for expandable play. Includes a convenient carry case. Made of durable nonwoven nylon and mesh. Measures 52"L x 26"W x 38"H. 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. |
