 Seemed expensive but so worth it!, = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: LEGO Duplo Push Train Set; no. LG-9212 (Toy) I bought this item for my 3 year old's birthday because he already had Legos and loved playing with them plus he is obsessed with trains so I thought this would be a good buy. I was hesitant because it seemed a bit expensive for just Legos but the set is huge! It comes with enough pieces to build everything shown which may not seem like alot but once its built, it is really big and fun.The ONLY thing that I don't like about the set is that the track pieces don't lock in to one another, they have like a jigsaw effect so you cant pull it apart but you can't pick it up and it stay together. However, you can lock a Lego into the underside of the track at each connection but that requires a lot of lego pieces. Overall, we love this set and I've even thought about ordering a second set so that we could build an even bigger train track! You can buy track pieces separately but you get a lot of pieces in this set plus additional pieces like trains, a bridge, people, and... Read more Great indoor play, = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: LEGO Duplo Push Train Set; no. LG-9212 (Toy) My 2 year old absolutely loves this toy. He loves to build the different configurations and now that he can build them all he makes up his own. He can spend an hour just sitting and puttng the track together and pusing the train around on it. Worth every penny. |

| 73 of 73 people found the following review helpful Fabulous table!, = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Little Tikes EasyAdjust Play Table (Toy) LOVE this table. I wanted to buy a play table/art table in one and this is it. It couldn't be easier to put together (say 15 seconds) and it's bright and cheery and very very sturdy. It has 4 storage bins (2 orange 2 red) and the legs of the table are purple. The top board (which is removable and SO easy to clean) is green. Underneath the board is some more storage. The base of the table is grey. My son sits on top of the table with the board on it and it is very stable - it's a thick board. One side of the table has a lip, the other doesn't (for doing artwork very nice). It does NOT come with chairs. Here's a tip: Call Little Tikes directly to get the chairs IF you do not need 4 (they sell them in sets of 4)they don't advertise this but they will sell you one, two whatever you need. Plus if you buy the four pack it comes with one red, 2 yellow and a blue (what???? they don't match the table and why not 2 of one color 2 of another). Anyway, I called them and bought 2 red and my son... Read more 17 of 18 people found the following review helpful Great little table, By = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: This review is from: Little Tikes EasyAdjust Play Table (Toy) We have had this table for almost 3 years and use it primarily as a train table. It has held up well. I wanted something compact for our sunroom with lots of storage and it delivers. I have even brought the top part outside, filled the 2 storage compartments with water and let the kids use it for waterplay. It's lightweight, easy to move around. Kids can take a bin out and play separately. 2 friends of mine bought the same table and have had their money's worth. We placed a train-mat on the surface for more fun! Pieces are easy to access and the additional storage under the surface is a plus. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful Durable, Very useful table, By April Murray (Wilkesboro, NC) - See all my reviews This review is from: Little Tikes EasyAdjust Play Table (Toy) We purchased this table for our 2 year old son to use for his Matchbox and Hot Wheels Car sets. The assemby is very easy and the table is very strong. My son ends up on top of it quite often and there have been no problems with it toppling over. We have not tried to put his trains on it yet, but it would definitely work for that too. The little storage containers are nice and when you have the table in the highest position, there is room underneath the table for additional storage boxes. |
