Power Wheels Thomas & Friends Thomas the Tank Engine

Our 2.5 year-old grandson was so excited to get this from grandma and grandpa for Christmas. He loves Thomas and had seen the little boy on the Amazon ad. The product arrived in a timely fashion and perfectly in-tact. It was easy to assemble and decorate with the Thomas lights and stripes. The battery has to be charged 18 hours before the first use and then after every day of play. It would be great if it were a little easier to get at the battery, but it's not too hard. We are able to go for long rides on our short nap hallway carpets and ,contrary to one review, our hardwood floors show no signs of wear. I expect he will outgrow his interest in a year, but in the meantime -- he loves it. I wish it had a toot-toot, but I imagine our neighbours are just as happy it doesn't!

Bought for 2 year old grandson that loves Thomas and friends. Starting his own trainyard, don't care what size.Has a few of the smaller ones and plus. Makes a great collection. This is Daddy Thomas and he rides him every day. Learned to steer very fast. Great value, you pay almost as much for a car or truck you push. We like trains much more than all the "monsters" out there.

My husband and I just purchased the Thomas the Train powerwheel for our son's 2nd birthday. Recently, our son has shown an interest in trains (in general), so we thought this would be the perfect gift! We were right!

The train is small, so our son is able to get on/off of it easily. The product description said it only moves at a rate of 2 mph, which is the prefect pace for a smaller child. It was really easy (and quick!!) to assemble. In fact, applying the stickers took the most time. As noted by earlier reviewers, we also recommend charging it before giving this item as a gift. It will require 18 hrs to charge. With this said, our son has had it for over 2 weeks and we haven't had to charge it again. It has been used every day as he rides it around our house for approximately 30 minutes every day.

Our only notable complaint is that the wheels are really slick. It has been difficult for the wheels to get traction on our wooden floors. At times, our... Read more
