Melissa & Doug Figure Eight Train Set

As it arrived yesterday I can't say enithing about durability, but fit to our brio and IKEA collection perfectly. It is better crafted as IKEA and as nice as Brio.. We love it and will order more for sure.

Third set I have purchased in a month as gifts for the three 3 year olds in my life. My favorite go to first train set or as an add on pack. The main reason is the bridge is easy for little ones to put together and sturdy and the figure 8 is much more interesting than a circle ( it can be made into a circle as well). This type of bridge was my kids favorite over 25 years ago and even when they got older and had more complex parts, this bride was always included in their set ups. The price point is perfect, quality is great, the packaging efficient. Let Amazon ship it to your destination, I made the mistake of having it shipped to my house and then carried three sets on the airplane, one set doesn't weigh much, but start putting three in your carry on....

Lovely set. Received on time and it's great to play with. My child loved it.

Good quality!

I ordered this for my 17month old grandson and he loves it even more than I anticipated. The size proportions for a young child’s hand are perfect, it is sturdy and durable because it’s made of wood not cheap plastic, and it’s easy for him to manage putting the train on the tracks. He is able to put the track together with ease also and he’s able to push the train around the figure eight. It is nice that this set doesn’t use batteries and that it’s more interactive with a child (his parents too). We like that the set is expandable so that there are other occasions we can buy parts for him. The expansion parts contribute to the learning and teaching what a train does and allows his creative side to shine through. As a mode of transportation today’s kids don’t have much exposure to trains and we think it’s important to keep them alive in children. I would highly recommend this for both boys and girls.
