Melissa & Doug Wooden Train Cars (8 pcs) - Magnetic Train, Wooden Train Toys, Train Sets For Toddlers And Kids Ages 3+

3 year old loves them.

I compared train pieces from different manufacturers forever and eventually settled on these ones from Melissa & Doug. They arent as expensive as the Thomas ones and they arent as cheapily constructed as some of the knock off brands. They are good in color and weight, the construction of the base pieces seems solid, and they hold up to my rough and tumble boys. The magnetic attachments are fantastic and easy to use. My kids have a lot of fun playing with these. The only criticism I have is one that seems to show up in a good handful of reviews. The wheels. They arent as sturdy as I would like and they dont move as smoothly around the track as my TODDLER would like. If you hook up a couple of cars youll probably be okay, but with a longer string, youre going to lose cars around the curves and your poor train is going to be a derailed mess...as will likely be your melting down mini-engineer. These do fantastic on a straight track or a nice, easy oval, but any kind of s curve can be a bit of a headache. For the parent of a kid who likes to make hills, this has been an ongoing struggle, but hes learning to work with the kinks in the design. Overall, were happy with these train cars, but if a redesign occurs...please for the love of all things toddler, fix the wheels.

I am giving this to my great grandson for Christmas! I am really excited as I think it will be perfect for him and will last forever! Love Melissa and Doug!

We packed these as a new toy while on vacation. My two year old loved them! We packed two or three when we left our room and he played with them at meals. Now they are at home on his play rug. It was a good purchase.

Do not work very well on the turns on basic wooden train tracks. They tip off the tracks pretty easily. I’m not sure if it’s the heighth or why.

As always Melissa and Doug has provided a durable, well crafted product. The magnets aren’t too strong they’re hard to disconnect but strong enough to hold them together when hanging them. Vibrate colors, overall great product

Got these for my grandson for Easter. He is 5 so I didn’t want anything with small parts or to complicated. He absolutely loves them!

Gift

I bought this for my 3 yr old nephew as a gift. He loves it. He likes lining up the trains and pulling them along the floor. They are also very well made like all toys by Melissa & Doug.

I’d buy these again. They were everything they said they were. Great quality.
