Electronic Wooden Train Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Baby Toys
from: Halsall


Great starter trainset! It doesn't say in the details above that it's Brio/ELC compatible, but it is, meaning you can mix and match with other stuff. My son loves it! Will also be buying it as Christmas present for godson.

Wow - Danny's Diving Adventure Bath Water and Floor Play with Secret Features

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Baby Toys
from: WOW Toys


My (nearly) 3 yr old suffers from eczema so we have to use bath emollient. The problem there is that all bath toys end up with a layer of gunk on that grows mold. This boat set has proved itself (a) great fun to play with and (b) easy to clean. I don't know what the decals were put on with but I've disinfected this boat in a bucket of Milton's sterilizing solution several times now and they are still as good as new. Happy mummy, happy 3 year old. Excellent toy.

Ancient Fighting Machines - Trebuchet

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Baby Toys
from: Interplay UK


I bought this model with the idea of helping my nephew build it and I have to say I have ended up with mixed feelings.

The Good
The wooden pieces are nicely finished, no splinters; the instruction booklet details all the pieces, so you can quickly tell if anything is missing; the glue included is of good quality and there's plenty of it and it also includes plans to lay out the initial pieces to ensure they are arranged correctly.

The Bad.
Although the design itself is good the actual construction concept is poor. Everything has to be glued together. Not only do you have to wait ages for the glue to dry thoroughly but gluing wood flat to flat is never going to be strong. Why not drill a few more holes and ... Read More:

Science Museum - Technorobot

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Baby Toys
from: Great Gizmos


The mechanical aspect of assembling the motor, and the accompanying explanation of how the motor works was interesting for my 6 year old. But the body itself is made from cardboard and was very fiddly, and took long to build. Cannot see it lasting too long.

BRIO 33223 Wooden Railway System: Mighty Red Action Loco

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Baby Toys
from: Brio


Both of our sons love their Brio trains and track and so we thought we would buy a second battery train so the youngest could enjoy one. The other train (BRIO 33761 Wooden Railway System: Smart Track Engine) worked very well, was well designed and durable.
This train, however, has a flaw - the battery cover on the first train had a locating pin to stop the cover sliding forward and make it secure when it was screwed down into place. This one does not and as a result my wife cannot fit it at all and I have spent half an hour getting it to work. I take this type of equipment apart and put it back together again for a living and I can't do with this model what comes naturally with the earlier one!
Bad show Brio!
