I looked at several ball and track sets and finally decided the Haba version was just too advanced for a 2 year old to enjoy. The plastic Made-in-China versions looked like junk. I was actually concerned that it would be too simplistic because it is safe for a one year old, but that really relates to the size of the ball. I am grateful I don't have to worry about actual marbles around the baby. My toddler has good fine motor skills and can manipulate the basic pieces but will be able to grow and enjoy the games for a long time to come. The design is really thoughtful and can be arranged many different ways.
It is also attractive enough to leave out during a dinner party. Several of our guests enjoyed playing with it.

it's the coolest toy my son has. i bought it for his first birthday knowing he wouldn't really understand or have intrest in how it worked. more just mouthing everything. around 18mos i started playing with it more. DS would always rip apart my designs before i had a chance to roll the ball down. but now at 21 mos my son is careful not to destroy the track and enjoys placing the ball on the track and watching it go through everything. just this afternoon while playing with it he was trying to piece his own track together. i guess it will be only time until he understand they all fit together in a certain way. but i LOVE this toy! it's a shame selecta will not be selling it in the states anymore. very well made. quality chip proof paint.
