The cars on this product look very skinny in the picture. Can the carrier be used w/ regular matchbox cars as well or only the provided wooden cars?

the cars are a good size, bigger than matchbox ones so I believe matchboxes would fit..I have bought two of these for gifts for a 3, and 4 yr old boy..Both love it!

i think it is too tight - the space may be a "tad" bigger - but I wouldn't say "yes" to this

The cars on the carrier are actually a little skinnier than matchbox cars. The tracks on the truck carrier also has grooves to keep the cars in place. I don't think a matchbox car would fit very well but I don't actually have any in my classroom to test them.

There are grove marks for four cars and the width of the grove marks does work with other types of cars, however I will say matchbox cars may not work the best due to the depth of the groves. It does work with Thomas trains, my son has used it for hot wheels trucks, he has tried with cars and it works but not AS well as a vehicle that has a higher underside clearance.

They are about the same size but the wheel base is different. This means that the diecast trains do not fit on the wooden track because they are slightly too narrow. The wooden trains do fit on the take'n'play track.

You can push or use any cars that fit inside the track. The track is wide, so that should apply to most toy cars.

The cars are all the same width, and will work on a standard wooden train track. However, due to their differing sizes (length and height), most will not fit under train-track items such as tunnels, etc.

My grandson uses the Matchbox-type cars on it all the time. He fills up the parking spots. I think those fit in the elevator, too, but am not 100% sure on that.

Absolutely. We use all of our hot wheels and match box cars on this. It's great! The longer cars won't ride in the elevator but shorter cars fit nicely.

I asked my som to test this for you. The wooden railway and battery operated trains fit. The smaller "Take n Play" do not. They are too small. I hope this helps!

Sorry, I can't help you. We don't have Matchbox cars or I would try it for you.

They are the same size. It's just Hot Wheels is made by Mattel & Matchbox by Tyco. Both brands should fit in the case (maybe with a few exceptions). I hope this helps.

Just have the train, so I don't know. I think I would try to call the company directly about that. This train has provided a lot of fun. I like the way the cars connect. Good for eye-hand coordination. The four containers in one of the cars are a bit tricky for a young toddler (or adult sometimes) to figure out. Kind of a tight fit. Overall a great and very durable toy.

Unfortunately this size of cars is kind of funny; haven't seen before. You can try micro drifters. My 3 yo loves cars micro drifters and I bought this toy in order to have some play set where he can use his cars

This works only with very small or micro cars. Standard matchbox won't fit through some sections and will fly off the track.

Yes, definitely. Each car is less than an inch wide and between two inches to 2 1/2 inches long. They are very cute!

No only the regular size hot wheels and matchbox cars. If I were handy with wood working I would by a case at hobby lobby and modify it to multiple sized shelves. My grandson must have over a thousand of those little cars, and knows and treasures each one.

Yes. I bought my grandson a collection of Matchbox cars to go with it and they fit great.

I purchased a webkinz cat and it fits in snugly. It is also a great carrier for small cars, etc.

I have both hot wheels and matchbox cars and they all work fine. Its more the shape that can be a problem. Only normal shaped cars will work with this.
