  • Solid construction. Anticipating lots of fun. Great beginner set.
Style: Railroad
Melissa & Doug have done it again! I have two boys (2.5 and 3.5 yrs old). Their birthdays are just a couple months away, and we decided to get them a train table with the full M&D track. BUT, I wanted to ease them into it -- as they've never really played with trains before. I saw this take-along version and thought it'd be a perfect lead in. The plan is for it to be open and set-up under the tree on Xmas morning, so I can't yet tell you how the kids react. But I just played with it for a good 20 minutes.. if that tells you anything. Here are my pros and cons right out of the box. Pros: 1) VERY solid construction. What I've come to expect from M&D. Wood is thick and sturdy. Clasps and hinges feel strong and durable. 2) Nice finish/paint job on the track itself. A few minor imperfections, but overall, consistent and well done. 3) Buildings/decor painted on both sides. Some sets I've seen have only one side painted. This looks good from all angles. 4) Even without any decor/buildings, it is fun to use the track. My youngest is on the spectrum and not always the most gentle or purposeful with toys. I like that I can teach him how to push the cars before messing with the decor -- but can add those pieces easily for his older brother. Cons: 1) 2 cars travel great together, but you'll get an occasional derailment on turns with 3 cars travelling as a unit. Not a huge issue at all, but worth noting. 2) While the sliding gondola is a cute touch as a moveable element, within a day I imagine it would cause paint to wear off the 'mountaintop.' I doubt I'll give it to my kids -- at least not any time soon. 3) I really wish the inside had compartments for the pieces. There's so much space that all the pieces will just be banging/jangling around in there -- should you actually use this for travel. I will probably wrap pieces in a small dish towel when storing them to negate this. ... show more

  • Quality is excellent
Style: Railroad
Ordered for my 2 year old grandson and after about two weeks my husband admitted he was surprised that he played with it as much as he did. Not only does our grandson love playing with the train and setting up the set but so does his dad dad. Very sturdy, colorful, well built, easy to put away, store and travel. ... show more

  • Solid construction, frustrating for my toddler at times.
Style: Railroad
Bought this for my train loving toddler to travel with (by car, this would be too heavy for the plane). Pros: very easy set up. Cons: needs to be on an even surface otherwise it doesn’t function as well. Grooves for tracks could be deeper and on the curves the trains have a tendency to derail. My easily frustrated toddler adores this toy as one of his favorites but he is the most frustrated by it. Quality otherwise is good and it has survived a lot and still looks great. Fits quite a bit inside for storage. ... show more

Purchase this train set for my grandchild. It is portable tabletop Set, 3 Train Cars, 17 Pieces. You can fold it in half and they are ready for travel with it. Our grandson LOVES it I also purchased the Tiny Conductors 12 Wooden Train Cars set. This train set is pure awesome the cars fit perfect in a small one hands plenty of room when they roll the train set around on the tracks. Bright colors on all. Such a great Idea for little ones not ready for the big train sets yet. Folks don't hesitate to purchase this gem you will never ever regret it. GREAT BUY!!! ... show more

  • 5 star approval from 3 year old boy
Style: Town
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 3 year old grandson. He is delighted with it, especially the 'helichopper'. All the pieces are wooden, which I like, and stand up by themselves - no 'wonky' bottoms. There are actually too many pieces to set up everything on the board, but he builds extensions of his town on the floor around him. Everything fits back into the box and he can carry it around like a briefcase. The briefcase/town lies flat and the roads/details match up well. He is just getting into imaginative play so this was a great gift for him. We received the toy only a few days after ordering it and it was in perfect condition. The price was excellent for the quality of toy. This will be around for a long time. I would recommend this to anyone. ... show more

  • Cool Product but My son wouldn't replace with his old trucks
Style: Railroad
Well, it's a nice product , very sturdy, looks good, quality cars added. All seems so nice BUT my son just wouldn't play with it. He's 3y I have to say my son is picky and cant change habits if he doesn't need to. He has lots of wooden trucks, I thought we can replace it with this board since it looks like he's having a hard time building the trucks over and over again.... Well, what do you know - he kicked the board and returned to his loose trucks. I'd say give it a try because it's a great idea and well made, especially if your kid has No trucks at all and nothing to compare it to. I wanted less mess , not an extra for traveling, I guess I'll keep picking up trucks from all over the house ....lol. ... show more

LOVE this train set. It is so well made. Portable and so much fun. My now 2 year 4 month old has had this for about 3 months and still plays with it every day. We travel with it and he loves the little case that becomes the track. I love to watch him play on his own making up sounds and stories. Grest for good old fashioned imaginative play.
