Playskool Wheel Pals Polar Party Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The mere thought of a penguin on wheels had me excited! However, even at a greatly discounted price, I was disappointed with this toy. The age range is 18 months and older. I have it to a 19 month old as a gift. I was HUGELY disappointed. It does nothing. Sure, the animals go down the ramp - sometimes. That is about it. I'd rather use a single piece of Matchbox track and create my ramp. At least then, nothing could fall apart during use.
The only reason I gave the toy two stars was for the two animals. They are cute, well contructed and if used on their own, they are great! As for the playset itself, it does not serve the purpose for which it was made. I am glad I didn't buy the other sets to go with it.

Set one of your vehicles at the ?igloo? corner of this ?icy? playset and lift the lift-and-go launcher to send him speeding down his path.

Busy Basics Busy Ball Choo-Choo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 10-month-old son LOVES this toy. I almost didn't buy it because there's no volume control, but I'm so glad I did. It also helped him learn to crawl because he was so motivated to chase after it. It's very easy for him to get the train to go -- the button on top is easy for a baby to push.
He loves grabbing the balls as they spin around inside the train and then putting them back in again. The different settings are good (spinning balls vs. balls falling out the back; stationary vs. moving train), and you can also turn the center wheel on the underside of the toy to make the train go in a circle instead of a straight line. The train will also move on carpet if the pile isn't too thick.
Only downsides are that there's no volume control--it's pretty loud--and the tunes get stuck in your head.

Melody Express - Musical Train Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son received this for christmas (less than 3 months ago), and LOVES it. However, it has already stopped working after only moderate (and gentle) use. The train sticks at every couple of tiles (tiles are what make the musical sounds). I have replaced the battery, checked to be sure the track is snapped together well, and that the musical tiles are perfectly placed (which is a bit tricky anyway). We have it set up on a flat hard floor (not a carpet). Nothing is working, and my son is frustrated. The manual says not to press the contact buttons on the bottom of the engine. This seems a bit nutty and unrealistic since the toy is meant for a 3-year old (we know how they like to press buttons). I have personally never seen him press them (and we usually play with this together so mommy can build the songs), but I couldn't swear that he hasn't touched them. I am so disappointed, as is my son. I can't return it because I don't know where it was purchased from, so we are stuck with a faulty train. This would be a great toy if it was more durable.
Update: Attempted twice to contact the company with no response. The train has been trashed. We tried using it a few more times, and it got stuck every couple of tiles no matter what we tried. Then it got stuck "on". I had to remove the batteries to shut it off - and when I replaced the batteries, had the same problem (it will not shut off once it is turned on). Too bad - it was really fun while it lasted.
