The Amazing Animals and Their Choo- Choo
Toot! Toot! Here come the animals, riding around on a musical choo-choo train. This fun motorized train helps babies ages six months to three years learn about animals through song and play. Simply place one of the three small friends in the engine car to one of four amusing songs about animals. Baby will love to crawl along with the train as it lights up, playing music and sounds. The Go Choo-Choo also encourages curiosity as the baby figures out how to make it go. Each train car has a unique feature that captures your precious little one's attention and keeps them busy. You can choose between a sitting mode for the youngest baby and motion-activated for older play. Watch out parents, the tunes are so catchy, you'll soon be humming them yourself!

Each animal car is full of rewarding activities to engage baby's attention. The engine car has leaf- shaped beads that slide from side-to-side and the smallest car has a built-in trapeze for the monkey. A light-up smokestack delights the eyes and when pressed the train moves forward in a straight line. For hours of amusement, the animals have movable joints, textured feet, teethable ears, and rainstick sounds. This toy is made from sturdy plastic and can withstand harsh child play. It rides especially smooth over hard surfaces, but works on carpet too. Best of all, should you suddenly feel like you're in a zoo, there is a power- volume control for quiet play. The Go Choo-Choo Train requires three C batteries (not included) and measures 23-by-7-by-13 inches (LxWxH).

Features
It is no surprise that this choo-choo was chosen for Parent's Magazine Best Toys of the Year award, 2006, as well as other prestigious awards. It develops motor skills and helps babies learn to crawl, while teaching them about animals. And these chunky animals are not just cute, their feet are sculpted with various textures for fun exploration and they have teether ears to chew on. This toy also appeals to a diverse age, from babies who are first learning to crawl to toddlers who like to sing along with the animal friends. Plus, Amazing Animals sets are available if you'd like to add to the bunch.

What's in the Box
Three animal friends and a motorized train.

Select 'Sit and Play' mode for younger babies.

Select 'Move-Along Fun' mode for active babies.

From the Manufacturer

An infant motorized train that helps baby learn about animals through sung songs and classic play. Each train car has unique features. The engine captures baby's attention with a light-up smokestack. When baby presses the stack, the train comes to life with a sung-song about the animals and automatically rolls forward a few feet. Place any animal in the drivers area to learn more about the world of animals through 1 of 5 shorter sung songs. The second train car features a bead bar and a space for any animal, and the last train car features an overhead bar from which the monkey can hang. Choose from two modes of play: sit-at for the youngest baby, and motion activated for older play. The train includes 3 animal friends (Giraffe, Elephant, and Monkey) which can be used interchangably with the other animals available in the collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars FYI / Wonderful Interactive Toy, July 28, 2006

By 

J. Smith "Stay at home Mommy." (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Sing and Go Choo-Choo (Toy)

This toy has many different learning options. It is very interactive.

1. Moves great on carpeted surfaces! (unlike most moterized toys)

2. Fun educational songs about different animals play when animal is placed in driver's seat.

3. You can buy many add ons for this toy with different zoo animals.

4. FYI...Note to consumer: You need to pull out the clear tag from the bottom of the train in order for it to work correctly (otherwise it will operate in demo mode).

5. The biggest complaint that I might have about this toy is the train car add ons and how they attach to each other. The additional train cars have hook and string add ons that tend to fall of easily during play. An older child might not have such a problem with this.

6. The animals make clicking sounds when the joints are moved. The bottom of each animals foot/hoof have textures and shapes.

7. Some of the animals even make the appropriate sound for that animal...like the monkey.

8. Has stationary mode and moving mode.

Overall, very neat toy. My 9 month old really enjoys it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Durable, Consider even for an Older Child, August 9, 2006

By 

Mom "First time Mom" (California) - See all my reviews

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

This review is from: Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Sing and Go Choo-Choo (Toy)

This is part of a new line, so I did not have much advance feedback on the product. However, my daughter got it for a first birthday and she loves it. The animals are durable and fun to position (they sit, stand, etc. without tipping over). The train moves well when the smokestack is pushed, but this feature can be turned off and my daughter likes pushing the cars around. We even bought an extra animal (sold separately) she loved it so much.

I think its great even for an older child and a toddler neighbor loves it. It is a good toy for pretend play with the animals and the train cars are sturdy enough to hold other things (blocks, etc.)

Overall, a great toy at a time when it is hard to find toys that are safe, yet encourage active and creative play (that 12-24 months range).

4.0 out of 5 stars Adorable!, February 21, 2007

(VINE VOICE)   

This review is from: Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Sing and Go Choo-Choo (Toy)

This animal train is an adorable toy. My 2 year old has this and she loves it. 2 or 3 is definitely not too old for this. It's really cute and not so babyish that it seems inappropriate to give to this age.

It's nice that this train goes so well on carpet, unlike some other toys. There is no problem with that.

My daughter especially likes the sturdy, colorful animals that came with this. Her set came with a giraffe, an elephant, and a monkey. The giraffe's & elephant's joints make cool clicking noises when you move them around. This is very appealing to little kids. Our monkey is not jointed and makes no sounds. A previous reviewer said something about the monkey making sounds. That person must have been referring to a monkey that came in a separate set because the one pictured here doesn't do anything.

One thing my husband and I don't like about this train is the singing. Singing is good, don't get me wrong. It's just that the woman's voice on this thing is LOUD and annoying and she isn't singing known songs. There are 2 volume choices- loud and louder. We ended up putting a few layers of tape over the speaker holes & it's still loud. As for the songs on this, I'd think "I've been working on the railroad" or something like that would have been nice rather than the made up nonsense that this train has. It would also be nice if the train would run without the music turned on, but it doesn't.

Overall, great toy but horrible music.
