Circo® Wooden Bead Maze Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This toy was a christmas present for my 12 mo and it broke on february 15th so not even 60 days it lasted. Not only that but I am glad I caught it when my baby broke it because of all the cheap pieces of wood and the metal wire could of hurt him. maybe the melissa and doug would of been better choice for Bead Maze. My baby didn't even play with it that steadily like his other toys, he really had just started playing with it and it just fell apart into pieces

Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway System: Coal Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My two-year-old loves trains, and loves playing with magnetic cargo and cranes. This coal station has the added steps of turning the crank to raise the coal to the top of the belt, and then dropping it into a waiting car -very fun.
The problem is that the crane cannot support the weight of the magnetic cargo and immediately tips over. You have to hold the crane as you turn it and transfer the coal; my son has just dispensed with the crane support and he just lifts the crane itself. I don't know why the designers of this toy did not provide more support for the crane and did not anchor it better (there's just a very short knob to hold the crane in place on the support). If you want to get a crane for magnetic cargo, maybe try the new Cargo Transfer - looks like it has more stable support esp. as you turn the crane.

Thomas and Friends: Sodor Cargo Drop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This toy appealed to me because of the compact size, the colors, and details. Unfortunately, it doesn't really do much. The "drop" indeed does just that, and little else. I wish it were designed to also pick the cargo up out of the cars, because then it would be great. Even so, for the price, it is worth it -- it adds another little thing on the train table for the trains to visit. Also, it is almost worth the price for the very attractive red cargo and blue cargo car.

Plan Toy City Crane Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It looked so nice in the picture and being wood, made it seem even nicer. It has never worked right. The clamp/grabber part can't hold onto anything so my son cannot collect any object, no matter how light, with the crane and lift it around. Also, the crane came in 3 sections which were very easy to assemble, but never stays together either. After reassembling it over an over again, I finally duct taped it so it would stay together. So this crane doesn't pick up anything, nor does it stay together.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe 50-piece Wooden ABC/123 Blocks Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although the recommended age is 2 years, I confirmed with the manufacturer that this age recommendation is for the child's interest/educational sake and not safety related. My ten month old loved the blocks and immediately bagan examining each one, as well as tasting them as everything goes in her month at this age. Within minutes, I noticed she had something in her mouth that she was chewing on. The blocks are made from such soft wood that with a little saliva she was able to scrape wood (and ink) off with her teeth! The ink on the side of the block was already smearing with a little saliva, and as I said she was able to scrape off the wood-- enough to chew on! Needless to say, the toy was taken away from her (much to her dismay). I was very disappointed with the quality of this classic styled old fashioned toy.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Toll Booth Bridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The toll booth is basically a cross track piece, but adds excitement to your layouts because it has a function. It's easier to incorporate then some of the bigger destinations (like the mountain tunnel) and can be used in place of other tunnels/bridges (like the mountain overpass). It's cheaper and more fun then the clock tower because it has two levels of track!
The only complaint I have is that the button that lowers the toll arm is INCREDIBLY stiff. I can barely do it so it goes without saying that my two year old can't. However, the arm can be lowered manually so it's not a reason not to buy this product! A good piece for a Thomas fan to have.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Power Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you get in on sale (e.g. 40% or so off), it's a good buy & a nice addition to your wooden train set. Between loading the coal, unloading it, generating power (pushing the smokestack which spins a "power" wheel & lights up 5 little lights), there's a few nice interactive things for your little one to play with (none of which require batteries!).
Also comes with a coal car & two loads... which is nice. What's also nice is that there isn't a track attached to it... which makes it much easier to work into your layout.
I've knocked a star off just because relative to some other Thomas & Brio items, it seems a little pricey for what you get - and doesn't seem to be as "high quality" as some of the Brio stuff or even other (older?) Thomas items.
In general though, the kid likes it (& so do I!). So a good product / buy!

Educo Choo Choo Tracks Bead Maze Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was much smaller than it appears in the picture. I purchased it for my 2-year-old grandson. the magnetic pencil is on a very short string and the magnetic balls are really small. He was not able to work it with confidence, even after many, many tries. I don't recommend this for a small child. It seems to me more of a car toy for a bored 1-3rd grader.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Rheneas & Rock Crusher Cars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Working at the quarry is one of the most important jobs on the Island of Sodor. Rheneas can be relied on to work with the rock crusher to grind the island's boulders into gravel for the roads.
Rheneas with Rock Crusher is a three train set (hence, the customary steep price). I was disappointed to find that the second car, which features a conveyor belt, was not activated by running it along the wooden track. I figured that it would work like the gold cars, where the compartment containing nuggets spins as you push the train along the track.
However, the second car must be manually elevated, and the belt must be manually moved along. The third card is only features stationary gray plastic lump to simulate a car full of rocks.
Rheneas is quite colorful, with a reddish pink finish. They seem sturdy, but surprisingly, my son doesn't take them out much. If you want one of the more elaborate Thomas and Friends trains, you'd be better off getting the Aquarium Cars, Gold Cars, or Fog Cars, in my opinion.

Alex Toys Rainbow Rollers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My three-year-old son received this toy as a birthday gift and it was the hit of his party. He and his friends took turns running the cars down the track and laughed their heads off for a good thirty minutes. On the down side, it hasn't really held his attention for long since then. He still occasionally runs the cars on his own, but mostly plays with it when friends come over. It's good for teaching kids to take turns, well constructed and very cute. Ultimately though, toys that allow for more variation by changing the tracks to create a new set up get more play time. That said, it's very attractive, so I don't mind in the least if it just sits on the shelf most of the time.

Learning Curve Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway - Bill and Ben Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son recieved these two for Christmas and they have become a hit! We have a lot of Thomas trains and these two are a very good value, because you get two for almost the price of one (unlike other twin sets, Donald and Douglas, which you have to buy seperately.) My son has a lot of fun taking these trains around the track and getting them into trouble. His favorite train is Gordon so he loves using these two to create little situations because Bill and Ben like to give Gordan a hard time.
These are an excellent addition to any train engineers collection.
