Sit and scoot on Thomas! This first riding toy encourages activity as the motion-activated engine sounds act as a reward. The 3-in-1 design allows toddlers to scoot along, push it around, or be pushed along by an adult. Features normal / low / off volume setting for sounds. Secondary sound buttons layer music, whistle, or railroad crossing sounds over the top of the engine. User Submitted Scootin Sounds Thomas ReviewsDate: 2008-09-07 great, save for the fact it fell apart within days My one year old is a unvarnished Thomas train junkie. His world up and starts with the DVD/film, TV series and his Scootin' train. However, with regards to the latter, after a week's worth of infrequent use the back handle by which you push your child around has come loose. Now it won't insert snugly again. This production flaw is a huge drawback making it nearly impossible to push my son around safely. Not much value here. Date: 2008-04-04 Nice train sounds, nice big size. Handle has problem I bought this after I heard the reviews said about the handle problem because I love this ride on so much when I actually saw it in store. But I finally decided to return it. It's big and roomy (even fit a very small size adult!) The sounds are nice and make you think about the old days in the train station. Not as annoying as the other ride on you see in market in my opinion. However, the back black handle (as other reviewers has mentioned) can easily be pull off when you push it in a certain position. The handle is absolutely not sturdy due to its design. I'm afraid my son would get hurt if he pushs it because it WILL fall off. I thought of removing the handle but then it will not look as nice and there will be a hole with rought plastic around it that it is not very good either. If that's not a problem for you, I recommend it. Otherwise, stay away from this toy. Date: 2007-12-09 My son's favorite toy... my arch enemy. I've always been under the impression that the handle comes off to prevent kids from climbing this toy like a stepladder. This feature (or flaw) has never really bothered me. This was my son's big Santa present last Christmas. He was 14 months old when we got it and immediately knew to push the buttons and dance to the Thomas and Friends song. At first he only liked to push it around but he got the hang of scooting pretty quickly. Now, a year later, he scoots at lightning speed and still loves this toy. Unfortunately, this is a heavy toy-- heavier when there's a robust toddler riding it-- and I have had several minor (but very painful) foot injuries from my son scooting into or over my bare feet. I'm very careful to watch where he's going now. I'm also pretty tired of the Thomas song, as my son feels that it needs to be playing the entire time he's riding this toy. He's figured out how to work the switch on the bottom so I never get a break. I gave it 4 stars because it's a nice, durable, fun toy and my son absolutely loves it. But if there was one toy I could toss out the back door and never see again, it would be this one. Date: 2007-11-13 Poor Quality Like others have said, the black handle/back comes off too easily and it winds up sitting in a corner somewhere. My 2 year-old who has never broken a toy or ripped a page in a book managed to break the button that plays the song - in just one month after receiving this toy. If a gentle child can easily break this toy, then I'd hate to see how long it (doesn't) last with a rough and tumble toddler. Date: 2007-11-12 Fun, but the rear handle is really annoying My son is 21 months old now, but I got him this Thomas toy quite some time ago. Overall, it is fun. He can only just now sit on the seat (it is wide and square, which requires a wide spread and frankly looks pretty uncomfortable). The main problem is that annoying black handle on the back. If you push forward more than down, it will pop out. Early on, my son fell a couple times due to it. Eventually he would just bring me the handle to put back on. No problems with buttons or stickers. The red handle has a little bit of play, but it hasn't had any problems. Overall, I like it, but that rear handle is crap. To the reviewer who said it is fine if used properly, tell that to a < 2 year old boy :)
