Grand Central Station is simple to set up, has an excellent build quality and the remote control (with forward & reverse) is very easy to use. Even even a two-year-old can assemble the track, and it holds up when he or she decides to walk on it.

The people that are included in the pack encourage imaginative play and will be constantly played with!

Happy parents say “Easily one of the best train sets we have ever bought. Easy to assemble and change designs of tracks. Comes with little men and carriages, which keeps things interesting for the little ones. Highly recommended.”

And… “My 3 and half year old loved this train set. Fab value… still not broken which is a strong endorsement considering the battering it’s taken.

Video review of the Amazing Animals Sing and Go Choo Choo Train

There are 5 different places to house the character’s wheels and see them move! In the engine car the wheel character can be put in front and it will rock side to side or the wheel can be placed in the side window and it will spin.

In the middle, ‘honey pot’, car the wheel will be positioned on top, and as the train goes along the honey pot will wobble making the character inside the wheel wobble too.

Finally in the last car, the wheel character can be placed vertically or horizontally and it will spin around.

The Winnie the Pooh Spin & Fun Train is great for children 12 months and over.

Well worth buying for a child up 3 years old, although suitable from 6 months..

• Put Sonya Lee in the driver’s seat and press down to hear a fun jungle tune and animal sounds.
• Train includes Sonya Lee, tiger and giraffe – place the animals in their own train cars.
• Watch the tiger as he teeters on his teeter totter.
• Great for eye /hand co-ordination.

• This is a “must have” toy that both parents and children will love!

Great fun for your baby aged 6 months and over.

• Press the funnel to make the train chuff along, complete with lights and music

The train, like the blocks, is very well made it can easily survive being chucked across the room! If you want to give it a clean just use a damp cloth or use baby wipes.

You can buy new blocks to add to your collection, there are so many different ones to choose from. A great buy, you will not be dissappointed!

Video Review of the Fisher Price Peek-a-Blocks Train

Push the train with the large easy-to-grab handle and it comes to life with lights and choo choo noises.

Four pop up blocks are included with fun faces that play peek-a-boo with baby as they play.

Music plays and lights dance when baby presses the smokestack.

Babies will improve their fine motor skills as they grasp and move blocks as well as gross motor skills as they crawl and push the train.

In terms of mental learning, the Stack n Action Train encourages thinking as baby figures out how to stack blocks, activate music & anticipate surprises.

Recommended for ages 6 – 36 months. Comes with 3 AAA batteries.
