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.

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).

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.

I had originally bought this toy for my 8 month old, (as the package said it's for 6months+)... but when I gave it to him to play with, he didn't really seem that interested. Instead, my 21 month old daughter took it and has a blast with it! It keeps her occupied for several hours a day as she tried to position the animals and put them on the train etc... She LOVES this toy and we can't wait until the other animals arrive! I wouldn't buy this for a younger child (under 12 months) but is perfect for a 12-30 month range.

We bought this train when our son was 6 months old, after watching him thoroughly enjoy one at a cousin's house. He loves it and we are thrilled that we bought it. He has played with it ever since, and even more than any other toy he has. Not only that, but every child that has come to our house has enjoyed it, whether they were 6 months old up to 9 years! It simply captivates children of all ages. This thing is super cute and extremely durable. Even after repeated abuse (beating on it, throwing it, standing on it, even puking on it ;), it runs like a top! It even runs great on carpet! The batteries last surprisingly long on it too. In a year and a half, I think I've only changed them twice, and considering how much it is played with, that is remarkable.

It is a noise-maker, with songs and sounds, but there is a low and high volume switch (as well as an off switch) and the low setting is very tolerable. The music is really great--anything gets annoying after it's repeated many times of course, but all things considered, these songs are very well done and I enjoy them.

Just a side note that has probably already been mentioned: if you get all the train cars and hook them up, the engine isn't quite strong enough to pull them all. And then, it may do better on a hard floor rather than carpet--I haven't actually tried that. Nevertheless, that hasn't ruined the experience for my child in any way. He loves this toy, and the animals all by themselves are enough to entertain for long periods.

One more small thing: you have to buy all the rest of the train pieces and extra animals separately. This can get pretty pricey. I have seen a few deals where you can get a couple of cars and animals in a multi set for a better price. We had grandparents and friends who were encouraged to add pieces for my son's birthday and Christmas, so it actually worked out quite well. All in all, this toy gets a A+ from our family, and I would totally recommend it to anyone!

Bought this for my 7 1/2 month old son as a splurge, hoping to find a toy he would actually be interested in for more than 5 minutes. Great interactive toy. He is more interested in the train for the moment than the animals. He can spend over 1/2 an hour playing with the wheels, the moving leaves, and bananas that are attached to the train before wanting to move on. There is also a little red bird attached to the train with a spring that bounces back and forth as he bats it. Very few toys keep his attention for this long (which I guess is normal for his age). The only things that he will play with for longer periods of time are small cardboard boxes and small plastic tupperware lids, all of which I can find around my house for free! Still, I consider it a good purchase, because it will grow with him, and he can play with it differently as he develops.

One note though... one ear on the elephant broke after a day. It is still attached to the elephant, but it no longer makes the clicking noises it is suppose to as it rotates.

This toy is one of those that will get played with ALOT and be worth the money you spent on it. Or will make a great gift! My son is 1 and we bought this for his birthday. We also bought the zebra that attaches to the end of the train. We dont buy alot of toys because they just dont get played with and we cannot waste our money but this is one toy we spurged on for him and he loves it. This is a toy that can be played with for many years and he will not outgrow quickly. Great toy! THANKS FISHER PRICE! quality, durable, safe (hopefully no recalls like alot of other companies have) I hope to get the other two attachements for christmas. (I think there are 3 in all)I bet we see these toys being passed around for the next 5 to 10 years. Just like the other 2 fisher price toys that he is currently playing with that were my daughters 15 years ago!

Whoever sang the songs that this train plays has really earned her dough. She warbles, she falsettos, she vibratos.. she sells it, man. She's a much more enthusiastic singer than the woman in the Fisher Price Fake Noah's Ark, I tell you this much. I really appreciate when someone goes above and beyond the call of duty for things that don't really matter, like singing a stupid animal song on a kid's toy.

The toy itself is good, as well. My son loves to throw the gorilla at me (I think the Gorilla is actually from the fake Noah's Ark) and my daughter likes to throw the little chimp at my face. It teaches hand-eye coordination and.. ?
I'm not sure. Learning about animals, I guess.

My son has played with this train for over a year now (from the time he was one). He doesn't care too much about the animals, but the train itself he loves to play with - he pushes it around and loads things into it. As a parent, you may start to despise the cutesy songs about animals, but thankfully, there is a switch to turn it off or have it on a lower volume. This train has held up really well under a lot of rough use (outside in the dirt, water spilt on it, etc.). Good toy, good quality.

I Purchased the train and plan to purchase every animal that is avalible to add on! My son is 7 months and it gets his attention. Its hard to find toys that a baby (under 12 months) is interested in. This is a great toy for parents too, its kinda fun to play with, and to interact with your child. Just so you all know, a Kangaroo is coming out soon! I would recommend this toy for any child and even for a baby when they start to gain interest in their toys when they can sit up right! GREAT TOY! LOVE IT!
