Toddler train lovers rejoice
My 2-year old got this for his birthday and it was immediately his favorite choo-train toy. It’s small enough that we take it on road trips for picnic stops or hotels. It’s also compatible with our other wooden trains so he can add to the collection depending on his mood. He can open it himself and begin playing so it’s one less thing he has to depend on a grown-up for, too.

Heavy Train Set
Pros: colors, “suitcase” to hold items, and creative play.Cons: keeping up with containing all pieces each time after play, heavy, no grooves to put the additional pieces in the board like the tracks and the latch is loose.

All aboard!
The train pieces and town pieces all fit inside the box for storage. The train pieces attach magnetically to each other. The wooden pieces are easy to handle for little ones. The track is built on top of the storage box. Very sturdy and durable. Easy set up

Very good train track/set for toddlers
This is so easy to use and convenient to open and also put away when our grandsons come over.One of them loves trains and we ordered the magnet trains that can go on this also. He loves to just sit and push them all around this. Its easy for him to connect the trains and use.He did pinch his hands when it opened once so we are more careful about how he opens and we always help. Definitely need some way to keep it from pinching.

My grandson can take it with him anywhere
My grandson loves trains and it takes so much time for him to pick the ones he wants to take with him. Then finding the right track to go with the trains. This is perfect he only uses it when he’s going some where. It has its spot and he picks it up and off he goes. Perfect gift.

Great toy but some quality issues!
First off this is an adorable set and I love that all the pieces are able to be stored and taken on the go. However, some of the pieces came dented or chipped, pictures attached. This is for a one year old so it’s going to get chipped or dented anyway but still stinks it came with some already. My one year old loved the trains and after I opened it for him he played with it for a solid 15 minutes which is a long time for him. He’s also stood on the case and it didn’t even bent under his almost 30 pounds so that’s a plus too!

Missing Piece
Our son loves trains so we loved the idea of a portable set for us to bring with us places that may not have things for him to play with. It’s super cute and we would have rated higher but we were missing the deer piece when we opened it, which was a deciding factor for the purchase because this set had trains and animals (deer and duck). We don’t want to go through the hassle of returning the item for one missing piece, so we are keeping it, but it was disappointing.

Scratches
A wonderful concept, but can only be used on carpet or rugs. The hinge scratches any surface it lays on, we have hardwood floors so I had to return

Great toy for busy 3 year old visiting Nana
During a three day weekend, visiting Great Nana, this toy helped keep our family’s busy 3 year old boy engaged/occupied and therefore out of his Nana’s, white carpeted, fancy, and antique filled living room; where he could have quickly destroyed something or the entire room itself in less than 5 minutes!Toy is made very well and the train track doubles as a storage case for the train set pieces, when not being used. Also, has a red rope double handle and clasp for carrying the set around. Melissa and Doug toys are the best and never disappoint.

Awesome train set
I bought this for my two-year-old toddler because he is starting to like trains and he really likes it. He still doesn’t quite understand how to make the train go around on the track but he still likes to play with it. As far as the quality goes it’s really nice and portable I would definitely recommend this set!

Great Gift for a Three-Year Old
I got this as a gift for a friend’s son and he absolutely loves it! My friend tells me he won’t let his parents put it away because he can’t stop playing with it. He added a few stuff to extend the train. It does not only keep him busy, it also lets him use his imagination! This is a great sturdy gift, and very unique, too!

Great concept-bad execution
I bought this for a travel toy set. I have two disappointments with it:1. Inside the case, there are no compartments or bracing to secure the wooden accessories.2. The track is not deep enough to keep vehicles grounded.Overall, it is cheaply made.

Super convenient!
This is such a nice toy to have when you’re traveling. I keep it in my car a lot especially if i have to bring my child to the doctor. I would much rather he play with his own clean toy than any toy in a waiting room. I even brought this with us while we where waiting on a haircut once. other kids even came over to play. The little tunnel is not very durable and ultimately got cracked somehow the first day we got it which was upsetting but overall its a good toy. My son discovered that his other cars from his train sets fit this one too and even added those to it.

Self contained Train Set
Train set is cool. Child likes a lot. I like that the train set closes up in the carrying case, it is portable. Only negative thing is that some pieces don’t fit snug enough…repetitively putting back together.

Sturdy Little Travel Set
Well, this is the bee’s knees! I ordered this for my 3 year old toddler for when we travel. (we travel a lot due to mama’s job!) It has a cute little train set, cars and even a gondola! My kiddo loves it and it pairs well with a rug of the same make. Stores easily, has little grooves for the train and travels easily. Well made to boot. 🙂 I do recommend for a parents who wish to roam and have munchkin friendly travel toys.

Instant hit!

Very nice, medium sized tabletop railroad
It’s like a box ir bag you can put all the items in it and take with you anywhere you want. It’s very nicely made. Very giftable. My kid liked it very much but not his favorite toy. I recommend it.

I bought this for my son for Christmas and he loves it. It is the perfect size. Only thing would be the pieces fall over so it would be nice if they had little stands.

Fun, Portable
A great toy to keep at Grandma’s house. Quality toy. It is foldable and fun to play with. When you are finished playing, easy to clean up, place all the trains inside the table and close up. You can play with other trains on it also. We enjoy playing with the Take Along Railroad.

Definitely sturdy, heavier than expected
I bought this for my 2 year old with intentions of bringing on a drive to CO from FL so he would be entertained by something other than movies. Excellent quality, just heavier than expected. We don’t use it in the car but it’s easy to pack up and take on trips!

Great Take Along Toy
This was a real winner! I actually bought two more to gift. Of course we’ll made by Melissa & Doug. Quality you can count on. The three year old wouldn’t play with anything else after receiving it on his birthday. it was the first toy he looked for when awakening. Love it.

Great toy
Love the toy. Since we opened it my kid has been playing, using his own words and sounds & imagination. I originally purchased a train set that was electronic but that was a disaster he would be so frustrated when the train went off track and there was no imagination play, he would just lay down to see it run around. This one is awesome because he is the one Making it move and he is using his words & imagination!!!I do have a recommendation, I added some velcro in the little building and bridge because ever time he l ran the train through there it will fall off and he will be frustrated so I think that will be a good addition to the original design.

Very nice, wish it locked open.
This train set is exactly as described and very cute. I only wish it locked open in case you don’t have a completely flat surface to put it on. If it’s on a couch etc. the middle can buckle and then you can’t fully use it. I would definitely agree it is for ages 3+ because my 2.8 year old can’t really keep the trains on the tracks (the tracks are pretty shallow and if you move the trains with any speed or aren’t very careful they jump right out) Also the car is a little confusing to him because it doesn’t have a magnet and he doesn’t understand why all the other cars stick together except this one. Otherwise it is typically great Melissa and Doug quality and I’m happy with our purchase.

Great for toddler
My toddler adores this train set. He’s 2, loves setting it up with a little help, will spend about half an hour connecting the train and moving it around the track. He also enjoys cleaning it up, putting all the pieces back into the case and closing it up. Highly recommend

Solid construction. Anticipating lots of fun. Great beginner set.
Melissa & Doug have done it again!I have two boys (2.5 and 3.5 yrs old). Their birthdays are just a couple months away, and we decided to get them a train table with the full M&D track. BUT, I wanted to ease them into it — as they’ve never really played with trains before.I saw this take-along version and thought it’d be a perfect lead in.The plan is for it to be open and set-up under the tree on Xmas morning, so I can’t yet tell you how the kids react. But I just played with it for a good 20 minutes.. if that tells you anything.Here are my pros and cons right out of the box.Pros:1) VERY solid construction. What I’ve come to expect from M&D. Wood is thick and sturdy. Clasps and hinges feel strong and durable.2) Nice finish/paint job on the track itself. A few minor imperfections, but overall, consistent and well done.3) Buildings/decor painted on both sides. Some sets I’ve seen have only one side painted. This looks good from all angles.4) Even without any decor/buildings, it is fun to use the track. My youngest is on the spectrum and not always the most gentle or purposeful with toys. I like that I can teach him how to push the cars before messing with the decor — but can add those pieces easily for his older brother.Cons:1) 2 cars travel great together, but you’ll get an occasional derailment on turns with 3 cars travelling as a unit. Not a huge issue at all, but worth noting.2) While the sliding gondola is a cute touch as a moveable element, within a day I imagine it would cause paint to wear off the ‘mountaintop.’ I doubt I’ll give it to my kids — at least not any time soon.3) I really wish the inside had compartments for the pieces. There’s so much space that all the pieces will just be banging/jangling around in there — should you actually use this for travel.I will probably wrap pieces in a small dish towel when storing them to negate this.

A MUST BUY for any little train lover in your life
I bought this for my nephew, and I WON Christmas. He absolutely loves this toy. So does his mom, since it is very portable. She brings it to restaurants and whenever they travel to keep him occupied. This is so well made, very sturdy. It looks super cute too. I highly recommend this for any little train lover you have in your life.

Perfect Christmas gift for my 2 year old son! He loves pushing the trains around the track and setting this up. The fact that it folds into its own case means we don’t loose the pieces! I even added some cars from another set and they fit on the track and in the box

My Three year old grandson loves it!
This is a great toy to encourage creative play. My grandson loves the way it can be set up differently every time. Because it goes in its own case and closes it makes it very easy to keep up with all the parts. I would definitely recommend it.

Sturdy, portable, and entertains a 2 year old
Summary:The train track is built into the carrying case. There is nothing to assemble except for the scenery pieces that interlock. To play, all that is needed is for the case to be unlatched, opened up, and scenery and train placed on the surface.Pros:- Ease of use. My 2 year old is able to open and set it up to play without help.- Durable and sturdy construction. Easily supports the weight of my 2 year old while he stands on it.- Seems to be entertaining, at least to my kids.- Great for travel since the track doubles as a case holding the train cars and scenery.Cons:- The built in track could be deeper. Train derails easily.
