4.0 out of 5 stars Daughter's Favorite Train, but...., November 25, 2005

This review is from: BRIO Polar Express Battery Train (Toy)

My daughter (4) absolutely loves this train. We've had it about a year, and I found her sleeping with it the other night. The sounds are great, and she likes that it moves bacwards and forwards (although it needs help mastering steep hills). My complaint is that ours sucks the life out of batteries EXTREMELY quickly...it doesn't seem normal. I don't know if its just ours or if all of them work in the same way, but most of the time the batteries are dead and she just plays happily with it making her own noise. If I had to do it over I would consider the one without batteries -- I really think she would have loved it just as much. However, she is overjoyed when I put in fresh batteries and quickly wears them out again!

This review is from: BRIO Polar Express Battery Train (Toy)

What a neat toy! This has been the BEST addition to our train set for quite awhile. My only complaint is that the coal car should be a little larger but other than that, this thing is nothing short of awesome. My little one plays and plays with this thing and we've had it for over a year now. It is clearly the favorite and I've now been told that I can get rid of all the other trains but we HAVE to keep the Polar Express. This is made by Brio so it doesn't really have all the details the Thomas trains have but it's no less entertaining. It doesn't use batteries that much - ours last at least a couple of months before wearing out. It's just a very neat way to bring the movie to life in your own home and quite the treasure. If you can find one (try ebay), grab it. It certainly is worth every penny. Great toy, highly recommend!

3.0 out of 5 stars neat idea but not enough power, January 19, 2006

This review is from: BRIO Polar Express Battery Train (Toy)

I bought this train and some of the other items in Brio's Polar Express line because my son wanted the Polar Express train to go around our Christmas tree. Well, the train moves okay on it's own, but if you connect any other trains to it, it barely moves (sometimes not at all) and we end up having to push the train anyway. Too bad Brio couldn't have designed it a little better.
