Great fun, but not perfect
My 1 year old daughter was given this for her birthday last week and the one time we have had it up so far was a great success with both her and her 4 year old brother having lots of fun.

As I said though, it is not perfect. Firstly it is the standard 'pop-up' design where popping it up is fine but getting it back in the box is a nightmare for any parent! We have given up on collapsing the large red tent part of it. The photos on the instructions are next to useless. What this really needs is an instructional DVD.

Secondly there is no way to connect the four sections together. The means that they all move around and get disjointed as the children play in them. Just some connecting velcro or ties would have been a nice touch.

disappointing
The biggest problem with this is that the sections do not attach to each other, so by the time my daughter has run/crawled through one the other has separated, so really each part can only be used independently which isn't the main idea. She found it a lot of fun for a peek a boo game, but a sheet over a table or clothes horse would have done the same!
As the bits don't connect you end up with them separated everywhere, and as children don't consider what might be the other side of something they just hurl themselves at something that isn't where it should be and there could be a wall or radiator the other side. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that it is very flimsy, far flimsier than it looks in the pic, and so gets blown about by the slightest breeze if used outside, or knocked over by the lightest touch!
Daughter liked it as it showed her In the Night Garden friends, but in my opinion it is way overpriced, and it's best value is to play peek a boo in the separate bits, but I'd hoped for more use.

Dissapointing
We bought this for my youngest childs second birthday. I thought she would love it but she didn't and got bored with it after a few minutes. My biggest assumption was that the train connected together, but it doesn't. You just get four different pop up tents. It seems a bit pointless to be honest. And very overpriced. It has been put away and never asked for again. Huge waste of money.
