Product Description
Hop 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.

Amazon.com Product Description
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.

Thomas Tent
This fun Thomas tent has plenty of room for friends.

5 out of 5 stars The fun train   August 13, 2008

There is a world of imagination hidden in this toy. It was the hit of the party for my grandson's second birthday. If you know a youngster who is a Thomas fan, this is the toy for them to foster their creative spirit.


4 out of 5 stars Captures the kids attention immediately   August 8, 2008
Sim (Las Vegas, NV)
I got this for my friend's son (a 3 year old) for his birthday. The gift was an instant hit with the kid. It served as a play tent - "his own home" - as well as a huge train he could actually get into and play. He was thrilled. The colors were also bright and nice and that added to the attraction. It has a sun roof and windows through which the kid can see you and that helps as well.

The tent is quite spacious that a kid and an adult (a slim adult) can actually get in and play. It took 30 seconds to open and set it up and so quite easy for the parents in terms of maintainability and maneuverability around the house.

In terms of durability I cannot comment since I got it just a week back so we will have to wait and watch. But it looks pretty durable to me!

Overall I would say this is a great gift for any kid!

As soon as my 3 yr old crawled into this tent, he loved it. Sitting on the floor it was not very sturdy and would keep falling over. I put it on his bed and it seems a bit more sturdy and frees up floor space. The folding directions are not clear and I could not master them. Over all, I am pleased w/ the purchase for the cost.


5 out of 5 stars Lots of fun the the "Thomas   June 3, 2008

My grandson really loves this tent. Fairly roomy inside and very easy to store once you figure out how to fold it back up.
