Summary: Excellent bridge, loads of fun.
Comment: My son is 18 months, and this bridge has proven to be more fun for him than I expected. The typical assembly with the ascender tracks on each side presented a puzzle to my son: he could push the train up the track, but had to let go of the train as it passed through the bridge entrance. This resulted in long trains rolling back down the ramp. To my surprise, instead getting frustrated, he learned to use both hands, passing the train from one hand to the other as it passed through the bridge entrance.
The ages on the toy are 3+, so I only let him play with it supervised at first. Now he is 20 months, and doesn't take the train layouts on his table apart, I leave it set up. This might be a good bridge for younger children because it doesn't involve separate pieces that can be knocked apart accidentally, like Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Knapford Covered Bridge
The construction is solid. The button to make the bridge drop doesn't work perfectly every time, but since my son doesn't use that aspect, I can't really comment if this will be a problem for him in the future. Actually, it sticking makes it less likely he will accidentally trigger it, collapsing the bridge. This button also does get in the way of engines/cars passing directly under when we play on the carpet, but it is just a matter of aligning the track to the left or right of the button, so there is enough clearance.
Overall, currently my son's favorite piece. His collection is still small though, and my wallet is in trouble the next coming years.

Summary: FRUSTRATING!!!
Comment: I just bought this bridge for my 3 year-old boy. The frustrating part is that the bridge has two female ends, meaning you cannot make a full circle. At first I thought it was defective, so I called Learning Curve. The customer care person confirmed that it is made with two female ends and I need to buy an adapter. The toy was expensive without having to buy a $10 adapter. Why would Learning Curve do this? My son kept crying because he was so excited to make a track and he couldn't. Such a shame . .

Push a button, and the Sodor Suspension Bridge collapses. Then push the button again to "fix" the bridge, and the trains are able to travel once again. This action-packed bridge is inspired by the "Calling All Engines!" video, in which the bridge is damaged by a storm, but the Steamies and Diesels are able to work together to repair it. Measures 17.25" x 6" x 8.75".
