Our 2.5 year-old grandson was so excited to get this from grandma and grandpa for Christmas. He loves Thomas and had seen the little boy on the Amazon ad. The product arrived in a timely fashion and perfectly in-tact. It was easy to assemble and decorate with the Thomas lights and stripes. The battery has to be charged 18 hours before the first use and then after every day of play. It would be great if it were a little easier to get at the battery, but it's not too hard. We are able to go for long rides on our short nap hallway carpets and ,contrary to one review, our hardwood floors show no signs of wear. I expect he will outgrow his interest in a year, but in the meantime -- he loves it. I wish it had a toot-toot, but I imagine our neighbours are just as happy it doesn't!

The issues.
1. It doesn't have a reverse. This is annoying as my son gets stuck against the wall and has to get off, pull it out and start over again.
2. It is possible for the front wheel to pop off. This is easily fixed, but once you receive the product and put it together, there's... it's hard to explain. It is quite possible for the two front wheels to pop out of the tube they're connected to though. The wheels are connected to the rest of the body by two means. A pipe and a rod that screws in. When the pipe bit becomes detached, the rod holds the wheels on still but sitting on it without noticing the wheel has come loose may break your product.
3. The wheels have no grip on them and thus, spin on hardwood. Now I understand this toy is for outdoor use only, but living in a rainy area [the Lower Mainland] going outside to play often isn't an option. I can only consider this a con so much though as it does say not to use the toy indoors, from what I remember.
Now, my son does like it. That, in the end, is what matters. But he is two and doesn't have much of a "I don't like this very much" opinion. If it has his favorite characters on it, he'll like it.
It's a fine product with a few quirks that I don't like. The battery seems fine and has a six month warranty that I like.
If I had the option again, I would not purchase this toy a second time, nor would I recommend it to anybody else. The no reverse coupled with the wheels popping out of joint is simply annoying and not worth the money I paid.

My husband and I just purchased the Thomas the Train powerwheel for our son's 2nd birthday. Recently, our son has shown an interest in trains (in general), so we thought this would be the perfect gift! We were right!
The train is small, so our son is able to get on/off of it easily. The product description said it only moves at a rate of 2 mph, which is the prefect pace for a smaller child. It was really easy (and quick!!) to assemble. In fact, applying the stickers took the most time. As noted by earlier reviewers, we also recommend charging it before giving this item as a gift. It will require 18 hrs to charge. With this said, our son has had it for over 2 weeks and we haven't had to charge it again. It has been used every day as he rides it around our house for approximately 30 minutes every day.
Our only notable complaint is that the wheels are really slick. It has been difficult for the wheels to get traction on our wooden floors. At times, our son will require a small push when moving from room to room to get over where the floors meet. It seems to work really well on our rugs, so we are excited to see how well it will work outside once the weather gets warmer. Contrary to the other reviewer, our floors have not been damaged at all.
Overall impressions are that it was a great deal for the price. Our son loves it, and he plays with it daily--and he isn't even a Thomas the Train fanatic. We think it's a great first starter powerwheel for small children. It is extremely user friendly.

We purchased this Thomas ride-on for our son's 2nd birthday. What a HIT it was - and still is 6 months later! He immediately figured out how to make it go and turn etc. It is very easy for a 2-year-old to figure out and maneuver, and it's the perfect size. We have both carpet and real hard wood floors in our home, and Thomas will drive easily on both (although easier and faster on the wood). NO issues with scratches on the floor whatsoever. We have even taken Thomas down the street a time or two to get the mail. One of the best things about this Thomas ride-on is the excellent battery life! We have had this toy for 6 months and have only needed to charge it about once a month. My son rides it EVERY day, too. There is nothing bad to say about this toy. I would buy it again and again.

KIDS LOVE IT!
The boys ride it all the time. It works well. One might consider the fact that it doesn't reverse, a drawback.

My Son Loves It
The only problem is it doesnt go in reverse and my son is almost 2 years old, which he is a big 21 months. So he has a hard time fitting his legs and feet on the side rest.

I bought it for my three year old's birthday in late October. He loved it for about a week and then barely ever chose to get on it. I am surprised because he loves Thomas. Read more
