Talking Train and Tracks Toy

Rating

My son loves trains so I believed this would be great. He loves it but...he is 38 pounds and is in the weight limit but the train does not stay on the track. We will still use it but i just have to keep putting it on the track.

We got this as a birthday present when our youngest turned 2. He absolutely loves it. You can ride it on the tracks or on the floor. You can use the pedal or scoot with your feet. I love that the buttons on the steering wheel not only make noise, but are connected to the rechargeable battery! Why can't all ride-ons be that way!?! This little engine is so much fun that he doesn't want to stop riding it. We've had it for a while now and there's no sign of tiring. : ) Thanks Overstock! You had the absolute best price on it, and the shipping is the icing on the cake.

We had high hopes for this toy. It worked about 10 times but suddenly just stopped working one day. We called Little Tikes but they said they couldn't help us since it was a National Products toy. National Products licensed the Little Tikes brand and used it to promote their own product. National Products is a company that manufactures and sells poorly-made Chinese products. They seem to have a hard time returning calls and email, first had us run around replacing fuses on the battery, then testing the battery at Radio Shack for a couple weeks. None of this worked. Then they said that the warranty was only valid for defective parts. They said we could ship in the engine at a cost of about $30 and the engine would cost about $50. The return shipping would cost another $30 at least, making the repair more expensive than the actual retail price of the train itself. They cooked up this scheme after first telling us they could send us the engine but we would have to open up the train and then SOLDER (with a blowtorch!) the engine to the train!! I'm a housewife. Where in the hay would I find a blowtorch and SOLDER a part?This is my warning to you all: do not buy this product. Little Tikes will not stand by this product even though their name is on it. Someone made money by selling me this piece of junk and I and my two year-old son are the victims who are left empty-handed.
