Flimsy Tracks
. The flimsy tracks don't stay in place unless the kids are very careful when playing with the train. Since our 3-year-old can not achieve that kind of precision, the tracks move around, he gets frustrated and disappointed.
. The train set is tiny, it is hard for kids to hold the engine and pull the train.
. The magnet is very weak, and when you pull the train over the bridge, the rest of the train separates from the engine and goes down.
. The magnets repel each other and the units don't connect, unless the units are positioned in a particular form. It is hard to make the kids understand this concept.
. After playing few minutes, my son leaves the set in a disarray, picking up the pieces and storing them is not fun at all.
Spend some more money and get a set with beefy tracks.
Great, now I have to go buy more train peices...
Godparents bought this wonderful toy and it completely blew all the toys WE had bought for X-mas out of the water. Who knew a almost 3 year old would say," No open more presents! I want to play train!!!!!!"? Not I. I wish we would have known it was going to such a big hit. I would have bought ONLY train parts and not bothered with the matchbox cars.
*oh and FYI: they fit all things Thomas. We found out when our neighbors brought over their brand name Thomas tracks. I can't tell if we even got the right tracks back, but we still have only the figure 8 so all is good.
Keeps kids busy for hours!
This is absolutely the best thing for busy little minds. Paired with an automated train engine, it makes for unending fun. The little ones love it.
