Editorial Review

It's easy to see why BRIO has become the No. 1 wooden toy company in the world. Even with something as simple as a curved switching track, their always-vigilant attention to the little things is amazing. Each of these two curvy Y-shaped pieces measures about 3 by 6 inches; grooved tracks on both top and bottom allow children to change the track's direction by simply flipping the piece over. This opens up a variety of traffic patterns: straight, S-turn, half-circle, or reverse S, for starters. And BRIO's knob-and-hole attachment system is simple enough for even the smallest railway workers to manipulate. The kiln-dried tracks are guaranteed to be free from flaws such as knots or cracks (not to mention insecticides and toxic chemicals), so every smooth beechwood piece will still be around for your great-grandchildren to enjoy. --Julie Ubben

This review is from: BRIO Curved Switching Track (Toy)

We have several of these pieces. They are high quality, typical for the Brio name. They have stood up to many many years of playing by my three children and their friends.

The one negative point is that you can not control which way a battery operated train will chose to go on this track piece. There are others that you can control with a small switch which way the train goes. We enjoy those and use those more often than these. However, these are less expensive and still add to the fun of building a train.

This review is from: BRIO Curved Switching Track (Toy)

BRIO is the most durable and has the best quality wooden train on the market. These are a must have to be able to extend the railway and your child's play. It is excellent in helping him/her in problem-solving skills in the process of developing/setting up a railway.
