Product Description
This brightly-colored wooden train is over 17" long and includes 15 interchangeable pieces to get any child's imagination rolling. The solidly-built engine and multicolored freight cars have sturdy pegs for linking the cars and stacking the "cargo" blocks. Get on board for a high-quality, value-packed adventure.
I bought this toy for my little girl last year. I was shocked to find that there had been a recall on it in Canada..they have stricter testing methods than we do in the US.
"this train has been recalled in Canada for containing high levels of barium. Apparently barium can cause (according to Health Canada), nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and cramps as well as more severe symptoms."
There was also a recall on their geometric stacker.
The Melissa and Doug representatives were AWFUL!! The said it was an isolated incident and not a big deal!!! It is dishonest and wrong that they never issued a recall here and there was hardly any information on this recall available. DO NOT BUY THESE TOYS!!!
My son absolutely loves this train and I did as well until the paint started peeling off of the blocks less than 2 months after getting the train. The train has ended up in my son's mouth and has been wiped clean with a damp cloth once or twice, but I was surprised and disappointed that the paint started peeling off on several pieces. I would have expected a Melissa and Doug toy would have stood up to normal child play and cleaning.
..When not stacked, the cylindric posts are potentially dangerous, if the child should fall on them. Otherwise, sturdy, non-toxic, great to play with.
We've had this train for 12 days and already the paint is chipping off like many of our other Melissa & Doug toys. M&D toys are Made in China, supposedly in a responsible factory. However, there have been recalls on M&D toys issued in other countries that have not been issues in the U.S. Due to this I am hesitant to let my son play with this toy as the paint is chipping off and this has been minimally played with in the less than two weeks we've had it. For now it will go on a shelf and serve as decoration.
This is even more disappointing since I had to take my son's other sorting train (Toys R Us Imaginarium brand) away after it broke the day after he received it.
As a substitute I will consider the Plan Toys sorting train, which is made in Thailand using abandoned rubberwood. We have several Plan Toys that have look brand new after a year or more of use.
Love it, love it, love it. I bought this for my son's second birthday. His eyes lit and and he played with it 1/2 hour straight. I finally had to take it away for bedtime. First thing in the morning he was asking for his train. My 4.5 yr daughter loves playing with it too.
He can't put the train back together perfectly yet, but much better than I expected. Great learning tool, great puzzle, great for hand eye coordination. I only wish it had a pull string - I might have my husband add that on.
I didn't see the toddler play with the toy because they were from out of town and were taking it home all sealed up so no parts were lost.
The parents thought it was a wonderful toy. They have not shared how their little one liked it.
The children enjoy putting the pieces together but get frustrated when they try to play with the train by pulling on it because it falls apart again.
i bought this a few months ago for my then 19 month old son who loves trains. although he did play a great deal with the box it was shipped in, he loves this stackable train even more! he's not one to sit still for long, but he will to play with this train. i love it because it is real wood & something that will not be easily broken, if at all, like plastic toys. it can be handed down to future siblings or even his own toddlers. the blocks have been tossed across the room & banged together & they are, so far, holding up well to toddler abuse. unlike plastic toys, there were absolutely no fumes of any kind when i opened the packaging. the only downside is at the end of play, there's more to pick up ;) but this helps in teaching my son to help put away his toys by making it fun to put all the blocks back on the train cars. it's also helping him learn colors & shapes. i have since bought other toys from this same company & will buy more in the future. good quality, good price & good fun make this a great buy.
UPDATE...2 years of play & there's only a couple of the pieces have paint chipped from the edges but I expected that. In general the train has held up well to play with the blocks being banged together or tossed. My son still plays with it but not as much as he is beginning to outgrow it. This toy is a keeper, so into storage it goes for a future sibling or maybe even grandchildren...
My son loves it. It's durable and lots of fun. It can be used for learning to stack the blocks or just used as a fun little train, and he loves to do both.
we got this as a christmas present and my 2, 3 and 4 year never really even played with it. I tried I really did because I love anything trains but to no avail then the peices started to come off and in the end it just ended up in a heap with the rest of the blocks.
