Folks: this one is a great hit with infants to toddlers. Our baby first played once with it when he was 6-7 months and loved it. Now his grandparents got him one in time for his 11 months and he can't stop playing with it. A member of the Peek-A-Block family of toys, this one comes with a bundle of blocks and a train that glides across the room (except if its carpeted) with fun sounds and lively colors. Ultimately this toy combines durability, fun and a certain educational value with a much welcome $20 price tag.

Fisher Price has done it again with their peek-a-boo block circus train...at least in my home. I purchased this for my son when he first figured out how to crawl. At 12 months, he still chases this around the living room.

It is very easy for baby to put this train into action...a simple baby press of the smoke stack. Great cause and effect learning! It is amazing how fast they learn!

There is a little spinning dial on the top of the train. If you place a block on this it will cause movement inside the block itself. So far my son isn't interested in that yet. It sure fascinates my older boys though and they are constantly placing the other blocks to see the change in activity. This leads me to believe that the toy will last through a variety of stages.

The music and colors are bright, inviting, and engaging. If he is creeping out of the room and I don't feel like moving yet....I just push the smoke stack and start up the train. It grabs his attention immediately and Luca will always creep back to "catch the train."

It is a substantial toy, great gift idea! It is of good quality, in the Fisher Price tradition.

This particular train has proven to be a lot of fun for our family and can be found parked under our piano and makes frequent runs around our parlor daily. I don't forsee it being parked in our closet any time soon!

My son received this toy for his 1st B-day. He loves the toy, but keep on taking it apart, the block are all over the house and the last piece of the train is constantly missing. We took this toy to a yoga class where there were a lot of children different ages, and every one wanted to play with it. And I noticed that every one of the kids was doing the same thing - first - they took it apart, then they played with it.
The music is great, not too loud, and fun to listen to.
I put it away once in a while, to let my son forget about it and every time I take it out again, he enjoys playing with it.
Overall - a good toy!

I purchased all of the peek-a-block toy sets before my son was born. All of them have been a great hit. My son is now 8 months old and this is his favorite of all of the peek-a-block toys. At 6 months old I brought it out for him to play with and he instantly loved it, at 7 months old he had figured out that if he pushed the front of the train it would play music and move and he loves to crawl after it. He also discovered that if he pushed the spinning piece in the center it would play music and he instantly starts to move as if he is trying to dance. At 8 months he has discovered that at the bottom of the blocks there is a place to spin what ever object is inside and when he finally gets his little finger to turn the object inside he laughs, then places the block on the train. Also, my 3 year old nephew instantly runs to this toy when ever he comes over, so I know that this toy will be a big hit for some time.

My son (now 18 months) recieved this train as a gift last year for Christmas. He was about 7 months when he got it. He LOVES this toy! From the day that he got it, he was completely fascinated with it. We keep it at my mom's house, since he goes there each day for half of the day. For months, it was the first toy that he would play with immediately after we walked through the door.

He doesn't care much for the blocks being in the right place, and he will toss the blocks if I put them on the train. At 18 months, he still plays with this train on a consistent basis. He isn't as infactuated with it anymore, but it is definitely still a favorite.

With near-constant play, I have replaced the batteries three times in almost a year. It is worth it though, because it has been the best thing in the world, according to my son.

I have read some reviews that the train won't move over carpet. We haven't had this problem. It moves over our carpet without any problems, although I can imagine if we had thick carpet it would be more difficult.

I HIGHLY recommend this train, especially if your child loves toys that light-up, sing, and have moving parts. It has been an overall fantastic addition to our toy collection!!

I got this for my son over the summer when he was 18mos old. It is by far his favorite toy! The push & go action is great as is the realistic train sounds. He does not play with the blocks at all, but the train is a hit!

My son has had this toy for a very long time, but her loves it till this day. He loves to chase the train as it moves along the floor. He has tossed this toy on the floor so many times and it has yet to break so I am very thankful for this toys durability as well. I would really recommend it along with the whole peek-a-boo block line of toys.

We recently bought this toy for our 11 1/2 month old daughter..she loves it..We bought the Christmas version of it though..It is so cute..I actually like it better than the origanal version.The blocks are so cute and our daughter gets excited when she plays with them...She is walking now and has been since was 10 1/2 months old and loves to follow along after the train..she loves the music when she pushes down its smoke stack..its just a very entertaining toy for her..Great buy..I love all of the Peak a blocks..they are a great toy for any age.

We got my 1 year old this and he loves it. Its durable he has thrown it across the room and it still works. He loves piling on the blocks and watching it go. He is starting to talk and the blocks are wonderful to start him out with matching pictures and words together.

This little train is great! I have not seen another toy hold my 11 month olds attention as long as this toy does. It has just enough lights and motion to keep him interested and takes very little to get it going. My 2 year old and 7 year old also have had a great time playing with it. It moves by itself and plays music and my baby crawls after it or he can push it by himself. This is one of the best toys I have seen for infants (and I am a mom of three).
