Train Sets & Train Tables

I purchased this for my grandsons (2-year-old twins and their 1-year-old brother) for Christmas. I am so glad I went with this set over the tabletop train sets with multiple pieces. This is perfect for toddlers and young kids. I especially like the fact that the lid is sturdy, something I was concerned about when I bought it. I was a bit disappointed in the train set that came with it, it's just three tiny wood pieces so I had to buy a larger set to go with it. It also came with three little cars but my grandsons wanted trains not cars. Also it was more of a challenge to assemble that what the description might lead you to believe; the holes and screws to attach the legs did not match up at all and the screws are very long and hard to screw into the plastic. My husband had to do a little drilling to make it all work. Overall, we love this for our little guys but anticipate that in just a couple of years they will be ready for a regular train set, so the age of your children needs to be a factor in deciding what train set to buy."..."  Read more
