Read Review: Training & Education

I bought this for my son when he was about 10 months old (he is 15 months old now) and as you can see from the pictures it's not very much pleasant to drive. The distance between the seat and the steering wheel of the train is significant. At 15 months he cannot ride. He loves to spin it and play with the buttons. He likes to put lego bricks in the hole at the top and watch them fly out the back of the train. He doesn't have "speed control" on his wheels, so he often fell when he was learning to walk because it was too fast for him (on the hardwood floor). He will also tip over, so he fell several times trying to get up because the train overturned. Overall, this is one of the toys he still plays with and loves to this day. The only thing I would like to change about this toy is to make the part of the train wider and have the action/light buttons on either side of the train instead of just one. If you try to push your LO on a train to get a 'ride', his legs have nowhere to go, so the wheels sometimes run/bang against his legs/feet.
