VTech Baby Push and Ride Alphabet Train

This was much better than we hoped for. It looks tiny in the box but is really the perfect size for a little one (mine was about 9 1/2 months when we got this). It's quite narrow but very sturdy and well balanced so rarely tips over. The thing I like is that there are lots of bits to it that can be discovered in stages. Initially all he wanted to do was to race around the house and explore everywhere, but after a few weeks he started to get interested in the little flip book on the side, and his favorite game at the moment is to unclip the blocks from the 4 spaces around the book (mummy has to keep putting them back!) It is his favorite toy by far, and what with all the well thought out and well designed extras like the sit on attachment and all the blocks etc he shows no sign at all of being bored with it.

By far, one of the best toys I got for my daughter. It was even better quality than I was expecting. My daughter rides the train, turns the interactive book pages, identifies the item the "train" says, finds the related block and places it on the "train", and passes the blocks from the top opening of the train and enjoys watching them gather underneath the back seat. The toy also identifies the letter for each item and has a singing mode as well. Some of the words are a bit difficult like "xylophone" but toddlers some times need a challenge otherwise they get bored. A splendid toy indeed, worth every penny.

This was very well made and had loads of extras to amuse our one year old Granddaughter for a couple of years. Poking the bricks through the hole so it shot into the trailer gave her hours of fun. It was great as a walker too however she could never master using it as a ride on as the distance between the handles on the train and the seat was too great which made it very difficult to use.

Very good with teaching the alphabet with the sings and letter recognition. However, it's useless as a train because as soon as you sit on the back the train tips.

Based on the fantastic reviews this product received, I ordered it for my child to help him to learn English (I am the only English speaker in our family) and to say I'm disappointed is an understatement! The voice is a little girl with a lisp and who pronounces train as 'twain'...absolutely awful, I won't be using this as it will hinder rather than help my son's progress in English, also it is incredibly loud even on the lower volume setting. Unfortunately had already put the train together before I realised what the voice was like so presumably I won't be able to return it. Total waste of money!!!!
