I bought this for my daughter at 11 months. She hasn't played with it much because of my train crazy almost 3 year old son. I like this toy. The songs are pleasant sounding (nice) if repetitive) what kid's toy isn't? As you add trains it names off the number car and asks the child to add other color cars.

This train is a lot of fun. The songs are catchy and easy to sing along with. There are several different songs depending on the train mode so as a parent, it doesn't get too irritating.

The toy itself is built out of strong hard plastic which has survived the dog chewing on it and being thrown around the room. There is a switch that changes modes which includes an OFF mode for parents.

Learning motor skills, my kids easily hook up the different cars to the train engine and love hearing a new part of the song. Depending on the mode, they learn about colors or numbers.

Stacking the cars is another way to play with this toy. I've never seen a "train tower" in real life, but the kids love making these at home. The best part is always knocking it over!

I bought this for my son when he was 10 months old. He loved trains and of course he loves this one too. When we brought it home we discovered that when you hook the cars onto the engine it recognizes which one you have put on and will tell the child (depending on the setting) what color or how many objects are on that train car. Each car attaches by magnet but is strong enough to hold when they pull it. The cars also stack together for a nesting toy. My son likes that it talks and he enjoys the bright colors and music (which can be turned off by the way)

My 1 year old received this train as a first b-day gift. It wasn't nearly as exciting as the Sesame Street "Teach and Go" train we inherited from my brother's kids. It doesn't move unless you push it yourself, unlike the Teach and Go train that goes on its own. It mainly sings songs and you can stack it, but the parts of the attachable cars don't have any interactive parts. Boring!

My daughter likes this toy. She likes the songs, and she likes that she can take it apart and put it back together. When you put the train pieces together, it knows what car was added and sings the appropriate song. I think it helped her to learn colors, as well as learning the meaning of "It's backward, sweety." Like most tos, my daughter grew bored of it after a motnh or so and was ready for something new. I guess that's a good thing, but it's expensive!

The toy is great but they could have used colored plastic rather than cheap paint. Take a look at my customer photos and you will see why I had to give this toy 1 star. Imagine seeing that after your kid played with this toy. I took my son to the Dr. just in case and he suggested a lead test. Thank god nothing was wrong but the least Leapfrog could have done was use colored plastic for the head.

This train is really cool. My two and a half year old son loves it even though we bought it for the 8 month old. The songs are great and the interactivity with attaching cars is cool. The only problem is that it is too loud. The low setting is as loud as it should ever go, and the loud setting must be for playing with it inside a loud factory. Inside a house the loud setting is deafening. It would get 5 stars if I didn't wish I were wearing earplugs...

This learning train is great. It stacks, it connects magnetically, you add any car and it tells you what color you're adding. It is good for a one yr old to 3 year old.

Strangely the Leap Frog site says it can't find a match when I type in Learning connections train. Just confirms I should shop at Amazon first.

I bought this toy for my son when he was about 9-10 months old. He loves to hear the songs, and plays with it most of the time. One day, playing with him, I heard him said very quietly "two" after he heard from the singing song: "one... two.... three...four...". It is just amazing. His mom won't believe me, but he did say "two".

It's a fun toy and very pleasant song to hear.

looks good. colors are bright and cheery for a toddler. thanks for the prompt service.
