Could you place matchbox cars on the strips and will they hold?

hello Virginia, I thing the cars will hold as long as the strips are screwed into the wall/surface as per the directions. The magnets that come with the strip seem strong enough to the car, but I am trying to remember how much the little cars weigh. I think definately two magnets would a little car.

The cars will not stick to the strip itself without a magnet as the strip is just a piece of metal. If a magnet is on the strip and is also thick enough to be able to touch a metal part of the car then maybe the car could stay. It would really depend on the magnet used. The magnets this comes with are very thin (strong, but thin).

They hold the die-cast metal small ones (which are the ones i purchased for my son). Yes they will run on the track but it is not battery operated.

If you are referring to Fisher Price Wheelies cars, no. They are too big. Some Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars will work. I tried some of my old Micro Machines mini cars, but they aren't heavy enough and get stuck. And the cars have to be low-profile enough to clear through the Eifel Tower and Big Ben features at the bottom of the track. I picked up this item second-hand without the original cars and we've been struggling to find the perfect cars to use with this.

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

Yes...you will get sticky pads to place them. They are very strong stick-ems!!

1:32 scale cars will be proportional. Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars are too small.

Yes. We have put matchbox, hot wheel, and Cars cars in this case. The slots on one side is very flexible. On the other side, they are different sizes so it will depend on the car size as to which cars fit into which slots.

i am not sure which ones you have. My grandson uses his metal matchbox cars and they work fine.

The Matchbox and/or Hot Wheels cars would have to be pushed on the track. The train and cars that work on these tracks are battery powered and go on their own. Not sure if that's what you're asking or not. Hope it helps.

Yes, you can use other types of cars on the parking garage. I actually put the cars away that came with it because my boys were only a year old, and the cars provided were small. (I have since forgot where I tucked those cars away.) My boys use the standard matchbox cars. Some of the long cars/trucks don't fit perfectly in the elevator, but it still works.

Yes, hot wheels will fit into the slots. There larger spaces in the middle that will hold larger vehicles.

I tried many types of cars last week and the matchbox cars DO NOT work with the elevator lift--they just roll right out and fall. They only cars that seemed to work for us were the originals. Sorry my answer doesn't seem to match what others are saying...We tried it for hours!

It depends on how big they are. matchbox/hot wheels cars fit, so if they are around that size or a little bit bigger I would say yes.

Yes, they can. Strips are same size for top and bottom. So if you only wanted to do top, for example, you could, and you wouldn't lose any strips.

I used hot wheels on it, and matchbox r similar but do not roll as well. I would say they probably will fit on the track, but will fall off while going down the steep drops. Either way my two year old still loves to play with both cars and trains on the teach, and we do too. It's a great family toy for almost all ages!

No! But they do sell extra cars that you can buy. Match box cars don't have the right type of tires or batteries to make it travel around the track.

Actually, it does. My grandson had match box cars and some of them did work. It was the lighter ones that worked. If the weight is too much, the mechanism isn't strong enough to push the cars up the track.
