Step 2 Deluxe Canyon Road Train and Track Table
When my kids were 2-years old, I wanted to get them a train table, but I had nightmares of train tracks being thrown around the house and me constantly rebuilding. I thought about buying a traditional train table with Thomas the Tank Engine or Brio trains and tracks (actually, we got one of those when the kids turned 3-years old, but I’ll save that story for another time) and gluing the tracks to the table, but then I found the Step 2 Deluxe Canyon Road, Train and Track Table and my problems were solved.
This toy is great. First, it’s a snap to put together. Second, the triplets can’t throw pieces all over the house because the only parts that can be removed are the bridges and those have to be pulled off with force. Matchbox cars, Thomas and Brio trains, and all similarly sized cars, trucks and trains work perfectly on the tracks and roads, and there is even a top that you can use to hide the mess or turn the toy into an actual table.
My kids have been using this toy for nearly two years now, and it’s still in perfect condition (and let’s just say, they are not gentle with it). I can’t say enough good things about this toy, and I don’t anticipate they’ll get bored with it or stop using it anytime soon. At $99.99, this toy was pricey, but it was well worth the investment!
What toys do your kids have that have been great investments?

I completely agree that this table is excellent, not only for durability (we’ve had ours for about 2 years now also) but for price. We briefly considered buying a Thomas the Train table set, but were shocked at the hundreds of dollars that would require, even if we bought it second hand. The Step 2 table is not only cheap in comparison, but since it also supports cars as well as trains (and has a helicopter pad) my son and I spent more time racing hot wheels around the table than trains.
