What type of material is it, and damage free for children under 3?

It is like contact paper. It would work with children any age. I do not know how safe dry erase markers are.

As you can see from the previous answers, it at least looks like wood and functions like wood. We have several youngsters (ages 3-8) coming to our house over the past few months and playing next to our cabinet (which holds their toys) without doing any damage. We are very happy with our purchase.

i don't know, sorry. i purchased for my niece who is now age 3.5 and she loves it and it's made well.

My 2, 3, and 4 year old haven't destroyed theirs yet, and they're no gentle little people. :)

There aren't small parts to it. My son is only 2 and he has no problems with them.

It is made of wood, but the wood is fairly light and cheap. So far it has held up for my toddler.

I wouldn't recommend it for a 2-3 year old, there are a lot of very small pieces. It's definitely better for older children. The durability is good. I had one when I was a little girl and 30+ years later it's still in my dad's basement. I purchased one for my 5-year old last Christmas. It's probably a better fit for children around 4-5 at least.

It's plastic and as long as your child doesn't go out of their way to destroy it, it'll last a long time.

Plastic, quite durable. We have had it for over a year and the kids still love it. The smaller ones are less durable. My son peeled the wheels off of the tiny 2 1/2" ones. But this size is perfect. Not sure if any small parts can break off. It's the pull-back and go design. Unsure of the "paint" they use.

It appears to be well made from quality plactic materials that are capable of taking some abuse. My 4yo grandson plays with it a lot and has put it through enough the last 3 months to distoy it if he was going to. Still going strong!

We've had years of fun with this item, but always be sure the supplied ground stakes are secure -- esp with multiple or heavier kids. I agree with other two answers to your questions. Doubt I would ever have playground equipment without stuff to soften inevitable child impact -- materials you find at schools and parks. Sorry.

It's a plastic, no cloth. I will say though that it is pretty darn durible. Lots of walking on it ams pulling on it and heels and kids trouncing on it and it never ripped.

It's not cloth, they are more of a harder foam like material- very light. If thrown at another child, it wouldn't hurt them. I never had a problem with my son trying to bite them. I bought this to share with my two kids, which at the time, my daughter was getting ready to turn 3 and my son had just turn 1. They played with the blocks a little bit, but they LOVE the wagon. We still have it and it is pretty sturdy. Though, I keep it in the house. They both will push each other in it and ram it into the couch with one of them in it. Very easy to put together. Hope this helps.

Yes, the one I received is a durable material. It should be fine for a 5 year old :-)

It is probably plastic, but it's very hard plastic and good quality. It's not bendable so guess it's NOT rubber! :-) The kids love them!

I have used it for one session and it has served us well two adults and a toddler! Not sure of the material

Metal. The unit is well made, but it is aimed at young kids. I think it's a little to fragile for youngsters over 12, or so.
