GeoTrax?

I have been trying to decide what to get L for his birthday next week and my BIL just recommended GeoTrax.  He says all his boys play with it still, they're ages 6, 4 and 3. 

If you have this would you recommend it over a regular train table + wooden tracks?

TIA!

I LOVE GeoTrax.  Jakob played with them from ages 2 - 5 and then my parents boxed it all up and shipped it from Michigan so Layna could have them.

We play with them nearly every day.  I think they are way better than wooden trains.  You can set up crazy configurations and then watch your train go.  Wood trains don't give you that battery-operated awesomeness  And sometimes you can leave it off and Layna will push the trains around the track.

We have it and I wish we'd gone with a traditional wooden set.  My kids are 2 and almost 4 and they don't totally get it.  But they go crazy for the wood sets at the children's museum, stores, etc.  I think my husband likes the geotrax more than the kids  

I do really like that DD (my oldest) can build the tracks herself and she loves all the props.  I am sure she could do that with wood tracks, too, though.

My boys have had the remote GeoTrax since Christmas and they LOVE them.  We now have about 3 sets and Jay likes to build these gigantic things out of them and the boys will each take a remote and hope that their cars crash.  They love them.

No GeoTrax experience - but I'm curious if you switched L's daycare?  Can't remember when you were doing that.
