BRIO 33223 Wooden Railway System: Mighty Red Action Loco

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Nursery Equipment
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!

Manhattan Toy Green Peapod Doll

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Nursery Equipment
from: Manhattan Toys


My youngest daughter (18 months) absolutely loves her little Pea Pod and carries it around everywhere, its a great toy for playing with in the day and she can take it to bed because it is so soft and cuddly! There are no loose parts so it would make an ideal first doll for little ones! We have now bought our three year old the 'Peanut' version to save arguments, and this is just as lovely! Both highly recommended!

Playmobil Recycling Truck 4418

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Nursery Equipment
from: Playmobil


This was bought for my daughter's fifth birthday!). It is well made and pretty sturdy and she is very pleased with it. But it also great for my son who is 3 in a few months. Unlike many Playmobil sets it doesn't come with lots of tiny pieces so it is safe for him to play with. The only criticism is that it doesn't have any play rubbish or bin bags, we have to keep finding things to put into the bins.

Science Museum - Solar System Mobile Making Kit

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Nursery Equipment
from: Great Gizmos


The planets come in 2 rigid plastic halves that are easily clipped together and are textured to help with painting. Lots of chance to talk about the planets and the differences between them. Had great fun painting the various planets with my 4 and 6yo kids, but connecting them to the hangers once dry was a really fiddly job that a kid could never do. You need to tie plastic fishing line to small plastic pegs that connect each planet to a hook that attaches to the hanger. Overall including the sun and the hanger itself, that's about 20 really fiddly connectors to tie to the thread (with invisible thread that you have to double or triple knot each time to ensure they stay attached. You need steady hands and good eyes for this bit!)

Casdon 485 Toy Electronic Backseat Driver

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Nursery Equipment
from: Casdon


My lad thinks it is great....but only since I repaired the mounting points and brackets.

It's made of that pathetically weak cheap plastic, so a slight knock (it's a kids toy, for heavens sake) can break it....right in a position that is a pain to fix.

As for fun....he loves it.

Fisher-Price Link-A-Doos Infant To Toddler Rocker

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Nursery Equipment
from: Fisher-Price


I can highly recommend this chair, I used it with my first daughter from birth and she absolutely loved it. Now with my second 2 month old daughter we bough another one, one to keep here at home and the old one we keep at Nanny's house so she have where to sit when we are there. My baby girl loves her bouncer with the toy bar and my 3 years old daughter loves sitting on it as a rocking chair. Is good value for money since it will last you at least 3 ½ / 4 years depending how fast your toddler reach 40 pounds.
Best buy ever.
