I'm not sure why the manufacturer recommends that this product is good for kids starting at 1 year - unless they were curious how many of the tiny parts the kid would ingest (I'd say 300 out of the 400). For my 8 year old, snapping the pieces together caused semi-permanent indentions in his little fingers.
But, we had fun putting it together - and then disassembling many parts because we had oriented the little connectors the wrong way You need to be of ninja-level Ikea assemblier skill to not run into this mistake.
In the end, we put it together. Kind of fragile and the car mostly made it around the track.
Not a bad deal for $10, but set your expectations accordingly.

However, the quality of K'nex is no longer what made them awesome. I bought the Blizzard Blast coaster brand new at a yard sale and it worked but only after a few cycles, then the car keeps bottoming out. I don't get why it bottoms when I followed the directions clearly. So my son loves K'nex and I bought this lizard one as a gift for my son for his birthday and yet again I am met with a bad product. I would not recommend buying this or future K'nex products. You will be met with disappointment and hear are my reasons.
First, the directions are confusing and unclear to begin with. ESPECIALLY, when it comes to the track assembly. Those do not make sense and are very unclear. We both struggle when the design requires unique bends or upside down parts. I think a re-engineering of basic mounting requirements for all track pieces are key. Second, better structural support would be better. MANY of these rollercoaster designs are badly engineered. The track and framing wobbles and moves, which results in the car loosing what little kinetic energy it has that requires it to complete the course.
Third, this lizard coaster kit while nice for its compact design had a bad design element at the end that seemed to be just haphazardly put together at the end. It looks like the designer ran over budget and simply cut off another section that may have been planned.
After this purchase, I will no longer buy K'nex roller coasters. I have been repeatedly disappointed with the outcome and tired of being let down. Nothing is more disheartening and disappointing than seeing your sons face of sadness and defeat because he cannot get the coaster to complete its course.
Once we got them together, they were fun to watch but after about 5 minutes no one was interested. These now sit collecting dust.
