PITTSBURGH -- This is my first experience with the Geo-Trac brand. I have heard wonderful things about the train set and I was excited for the kids to try out this toy. It is an air plane that runs on its own trac.

I was a little disappointed when Jack (Age 3) started playing with it because it is not very interactive. You have to put the plane on the track and push the button, but after that it just goes on its own. You do not have to hold the button in. So even after you have walked away the airplane is still zooming around the track.

The kids loved it though. Jack always wanted it on. He would play with it, but if he walked away and it stopped he would go back and start it up again. He liked taking the pilot out and putting him in the elevator and in and out of the plane.

Mary (Age 8) and Kelly (Age 5) loved changing the track to see if the airplane could still do it. They had so many loops, you would have never thought the plane could do it, but it did almost all of them.

This toy would be great if you have other Geo-Trac systems. It would be a great addition. I think that it is not a great toy to have alone. I feel like it needs something else to add to the fun.

Have you played with this toy? Please share your comments with us below!
