Product Description

Editorial Review
All aboard! This ride-on or push toy (for engineers up to 3 feet tall) is a colorful train with some unique features. On one side of the pretend smokestack funnel is a lever that makes a barber pole spin, on the other a lever that makes a silly squeaky noise. The top of the funnel is a working steering wheel that has a spinning top with colorful balls that bounce and clatter once you push the button. With a tall, removable backrest that doubles as a push bar for beginning walkers--and a seat that opens up to a compartment to hide important treasures--this is a great addition to any rail yard or playroom. --S. J. Kurtz

5.0 out of 5 stars Look ma, no batteries, September 11, 2005

By	Maria Poole "Maria Poole" (Southeast) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

We got this for my 10 month old son who is showing an interest in pushing things around and pulling up on furniture. Therefore I really appreciated the advice of another reviewer to put ankle weights in the middle compartment to keep the train from tipping over. That being said my son truly enjoys everything about this train. I really debated on this purchase because I did not know which push and ride toy to purchase or if it would really be used. I almost bought the one by Little Tikes but after reading all the reviews I decided to go for this one once I found it available with free shipping from Baby Universe. Also the fact that this one seems to be a little higher off the ground is good for my son whose height is in the 90th percentile. My son also enjoys the different levers and knobs which I also enjoy since they don't require batteries! I do agree with another reviewer that a brake would be a nice addition for when my son is "working on the train". I like the fact that this ride on toy steers very well since we have an octagon shaped living room. Obviously that may not be a concern for a lot of people. I can also see the point of the argument for a push toy that stays on a straight path but my son mainly uses it on carpet which slows the turning down when the toy is pushed.

Update: My son is now 2 1/2 and this has remained in his most played with toy collection. He now picks this over any other ride on to push around and play "crash" with. It has taken quite a beating and still looks brand new. Since it enables him to steer the train he prefers this one since he doesn't have to pick it up to turn it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best money we've spent on a toy, September 3, 2005

By	Research Mom (Baltimore, MD United States) - See all my reviews

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

My 2-year-old son loves ride-on toys - we have three different ones at home and he's ridden on lots of others at friends' houses. This is hands-down the best ride-on toy I've seen. It's just the right height, very durable and easy to roll and steer. It has some nice little gadgets to play with, but nothing electronic or annoying. He started using it at age 1 and I've had friends' kids up to age 3.5 use it with no problem. We even bought one for both of the grandparents' houses because it's something he can use for a couple of years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Ride On!, August 13, 2004

By A Customer

This was my son's Santa gift for Christmas. He was an early walker and 10mo old when he got it. He loved it from day one and pushed it all over. Since then he has learned how to ride it and one of his favorite things is to put things in the seat and push it around. He also love to sit on it and chase the dogs around. At 18mo old this is still one of his favorite toys and is standing up well to my son's constant use and abuse (he does stand on it and sit on it while its on its side). I love to find toys that don't flash and make noise. I think toys like this one encourage more imaginative play. The levers and stuff do reward exploration with spinning, squeaking and simple reactions. This is very sturdy and my son doesn't have any problems with it tipping over. This is definately one of our favorites.
