 Better of as decoration November 28, 2008
L. M. Billingsley (Baltimore, MD)
We've had this train for 12 days and already the paint is chipping off like many of our other Melissa & Doug toys. M&D toys are Made in China, supposedly in a responsible factory. However, there have been recalls on M&D toys issued in other countries that have not been issues in the U.S. Due to this I am hesitant to let my son play with this toy as the paint is chipping off and this has been minimally played with in the less than two weeks we've had it. For now it will go on a shelf and serve as decoration.
This is even more disappointing since I had to take my son's other sorting train (Toys R Us Imaginarium brand) away after it broke the day after he received it.
As a substitute I will consider the Plan Toys sorting train, which is made in Thailand using abandoned rubberwood. We have several Plan Toys that have look brand new after a year or more of use.

Love it, love it, love it. I bought this for my son's second birthday. His eyes lit and and he played with it 1/2 hour straight. I finally had to take it away for bedtime. First thing in the morning he was asking for his train. My 4.5 yr daughter loves playing with it too.
He can't put the train back together perfectly yet, but much better than I expected. Great learning tool, great puzzle, great for hand eye coordination. I only wish it had a pull string - I might have my husband add that on.
Great toy -- contains no lead October 29, 2008

I was worried that this paint on this toy might contain lead since it's made in China. I bought a lead tester and confirmed that it's safe (I sampled several colors of paint, both were negative for lead. The tester used was an one of an eight-pack of Lead Check Swabs by HybriVet Systems, Inc.). The toy is sturdy and well constructed, and I think that it has good educational value since there are many ways that the blocks can be assembled, and a variety of shapes. My only minor concern is that the some of the unpainted blocks that form the base of each train car are slightly rough at the corners--which could lead to splinters. I'll probably need to sand these a bit before putting them to use, but that's a problem that's easily fixed.
Very educational and entertaining May 7, 2008

I would highly recommend this classic toy. I bought this for my son when he was age 1. At first, he would just chew on the pieces and throw them all over so I kept the train for a while and reintroduced it to him a few months later. This is one of his most favorite toys and he will be 3 years old in a few weeks. He plays with it everyday. We still have all the pieces as I have been very vigilant in looking for any misplaced pieces. Because of my son's very positive experience with this toy, I have bought another one recently to give as a gift to a 2-year-old boy. I've read that Melissa and Doug offer a lifetime warranty for this toy so that's another big plus.
Train Lover's Favorite January 27, 2008

My 19 month old has recently started to develop a love for trains. This toy has been a HUGE hit!! The block/train combo is about all he could ask for at this point!
