BRIO Remote Control Travel Train - Kids Toy with Light and Sound Features | Battery Operated | Compatible with Wooden Railway Tracks | Perfect for Toddlers Age 3+

Was a definite winner in our grandsons book! Great quality works perfectly on the track or off. Definitely recommend!

The toy is durable and well built. The 'owner' kid (5 yr old) loves it and runs the wheels off of it. So far, it's stood up ok. The linkage between remote and loco is kinda fiddly - but she figured out how to point the remote at the loco and is happily starting and stopping, and fiddling the light. Like any battery toy -- you have to put batteries in it. I'm going to try rechargables (nimh) to ease the burden on the ecology, but no experience yet.

So cute! The little person doesn’t work well with the travel cart though, it’s arms stick out of the train and can catch on more narrow parts of the train tracks.It’s not as fast as other electric brio locomotives, but who cares, its fun and cute to watch.As mentioned above, this comes with an IR remote (infrared). So don’t expect to be controlling this from across the room.

The forward start button and remote stopped working after only a few uses. I missed the return window by 11 days and was instructed to contact the manufacturer which tells customers returns and claims are handled by retail partners. I am waiting for a reply from Brio. Update: Brio did send a replacement.

works as advertised. You need to keep it close to the train which is a learning experience for the child. our 4 year old grandson has had no problems figuring this out. He loves it. The train noises are realistic and he uses them all of the time. On flat track it easily pulls 6 or 7 cars. On a track with a bridge, the train needs a very light 3rd car and then had no problems pulling 5 or 6 cars.

This train works and holds up to some banging around. My 3 year old was very happy to receive this gift. Drawback is that the remote is finicky. It will lose connection with the train and you have to try to remember which buttons to turn the train off then back on to get it to work again. Not sure if I do it incorrectly sometimes or if it just doesn't work sometimes, there are only 3 buttons. Always make sure the train and remote are set to the same channel. Either way it is somewhat annoying. My son is usually quite happy to just push the buttons on the train to make it go forward, backward, or stop when the remote is giving us trouble, so it's still usable.

Such a high quality joy ! My youngest son loves it as well as my 11 yr old son . They wouldnt play with any other train toys other than brio trains

This is a great battery powered wooden train engine, much faster than other ones and generally stable in the track. The control is infrared not radio control. I’m not sure why others don’t give this engine good reviews- of the 10 or so battery powered engines we’ve had this is one of the two best.
