User Submitted Play N Ride Train Reviews (cont...)Date: 2006-10-31 Well worth the money! We bought this as a Christmas present for our 18 month old twin boys two years ago. I realized they were on the older end of the age range, but we planned on another child so I knew it would go farther. The boys have loved this ride-on train since they got it! They use it almost daily. And now their 15 month old sister enjoys it, too. They all take turns chasing each other around the house. This is one toy that has never been "put away" or rotated as we do with other toys. Definitely a great toy! Date: 2006-10-23 lasts years and years!!!! I bought this for my daughter in 2001 and it has lasted through 2 other children. They all love it!!!!! It really takes a beating with so much life let. My youngest son is 20 months and he palys with it every day. There is not one thing broken on it. The one thing that I have to mention is that the handle on the back is not secured to the train and comes off when any older child or adult pulls up on it. That was how it came. It really didn't bother us. Date: 2006-06-14 Awesome, Well-Built Toy My daughter loves this toy. At different times, she's enjoyed each of the different features. Right now, she likes opening up the seat & pretending to take something out & giving it to us. We got the train for her when she was 11 months. She started out pushing it around & now rides it all over the place. At 17 months, she doesn't quite understand the steering part, but I like that it poses a challenge for her & will grow w/her. This toy is extremely well-made, & I love that it was pre-assembled. When I researched riding toys, I read of many headaches that were brought on by trying to assemble other ones. Date: 2005-09-12 Look ma, no batteries We got this for my 10 month old son who is showing an interest in pushing things around and pulling up on furniture. Therefore I really appreciated the advice of another reviewer to put ankle weights in the middle compartment to keep the train from tipping over. That being said my son truly enjoys everything about this train. I really debated on this purchase because I did not know which push and ride toy to purchase or if it would really be used. I almost bought the one by Little Tikes but after reading all the reviews I decided to go for this one once I found it available with free shipping from Baby Universe. Also the fact that this one seems to be a little higher off the ground is good for my son whose height is in the 90th percentile. My son also enjoys the different levers and knobs which I also enjoy since they don't require batteries! I do agree with another reviewer that a brake would be a nice addition for when my son is "working on the train". I like the fact that this ride on toy steers very well since we have an octagon shaped living room. Obviously that may not be a concern for a lot of people. I can also see the point of the argument for a push toy that stays on a straight path but my son mainly uses it on carpet which slows the turning down when the toy is pushed. Update: My son is now 2 1/2 and this has remained in his most played with toy collection. He now picks this over any other ride on to push around and play "crash" with. It has taken quite a beating and still looks brand new. Since it enables him to steer the train he prefers this one since he doesn't have to pick it up to turn it. Date: 2005-09-03 The best money we've spent on a toy My 2-year-old son loves ride-on toys - we have three different ones at home and he's ridden on lots of others at friends' houses. This is hands-down the best ride-on toy I've seen. It's just the right height, very durable and easy to roll and steer. It has some nice little gadgets to play with, but nothing electronic or annoying. He started using it at age 1 and I've had friends' kids up to age 3.5 use it with no problem. We even bought one for both of the grandparents' houses because it's something he can use for a couple of years.
