The Amazing Animals and Their Choo- Choo Toot! Toot! Here come the animals, riding around on a musical choo-choo train. This fun motorized train helps babies ages six months to three years learn about animals through song and play. Simply place one of the three small friends in the engine car to one of four amusing songs about animals. Baby will love to crawl along with the train as it lights up, playing music and sounds. The Go Choo-Choo also encourages curiosity as the baby figures out how to make it go. Each train car has a unique feature that captures your precious little one's attention and keeps them busy. You can choose between a sitting mode for the youngest baby and motion-activated for older play. Watch out parents, the tunes are so catchy, you'll soon be humming them yourself!
Each animal car is full of rewarding activities to engage baby's attention. The engine car has leaf- shaped beads that slide from side-to-side and the smallest car has a built-in trapeze for the monkey. A light-up smokestack delights the eyes and when pressed the train moves forward in a straight line. For hours of amusement, the animals have movable joints, textured feet, teethable ears, and rainstick sounds. This toy is made from sturdy plastic and can withstand harsh child play. It rides especially smooth over hard surfaces, but works on carpet too. Best of all, should you suddenly feel like you're in a zoo, there is a power- volume control for quiet play. The Go Choo-Choo Train requires three C batteries (not included) and measures 23-by-7-by-13 inches (LxWxH).
Features It is no surprise that this choo-choo was chosen for Parent's Magazine Best Toys of the Year award, 2006, as well as other prestigious awards. It develops motor skills and helps babies learn to crawl, while teaching them about animals. And these chunky animals are not just cute, their feet are sculpted with various textures for fun exploration and they have teether ears to chew on. This toy also appeals to a diverse age, from babies who are first learning to crawl to toddlers who like to sing along with the animal friends. Plus, Amazing Animals sets are available if you'd like to add to the bunch.

Sing and Go and Cover your Ears:
The only problem we see with the toy is the singing voice. It is not very pleasant. We bought this for our granddaughter and her dad immediately felt this was going to be hard to listen to over and over again as his daughter played with it. Out 15-month old grandchild likes it. The toy seems like something that could be enjoyed for many years and would be good for creative imaginations.
This was his favorite amongst the Christmas gifts:
My son is 6 months old and loves this train and the animals. He has interacted and played with this toy more than any other he received this Christmas. There is a nice variety of songs and the train moves enough to encourage him to go after it. The animals are cute and chunky enough for little hands to grab onto. I am amazed at the price that is now listed, but we thought it was well worth the price we payed originally. The no frills no hassle packaging was nice too but if I was giving it as a... more info
Kids love this train, I loved the packaging:
I gave one of these to our 2 year old nephew. He really like it! His 3 year old cousin quickly wanted to take it away from him. Both of them were following it around as it was playing music and rolling on the floor. I was amazed at the size and quality for the price. The frustration free packaging was great, except once I took it out of the box, I had trouble getting it back in the box and getting the top closed. Great toy!
Disapointed:
The train is very nice and durable but all of the cars fall off when moved only the slightest bit. It stops moving when the animals are placed in the cars behind the engine. To top things off. While shopping locally this very same product was priced for half of what I paid for this toy.
I am a frequent buyer on Amazon and have never been so disappointed. Fortunately the baby likes the toy.
