 The Amazing Animals and Their Choo- Choo
Toot! Toot! Here come the animals, riding around on a musical choo-choo train. This fun motorized train helps babies ages six months to three years learn about animals through song and play. Simply place one of the three small friends in the engine car to one of four amusing songs about animals. Baby will love to crawl along with the train as it lights up, playing music and sounds. The Go Choo-Choo also encourages curiosity as the baby figures out how to make it go. Each train car has a unique feature that captures your precious little one's attention and keeps them busy. You can choose between a sitting mode for the youngest baby and motion-activated for older play. Watch out parents, the tunes are so catchy, you'll soon be humming them yourself! Each animal car is full of rewarding activities to engage baby's attention. The engine car has leaf- shaped beads that slide from side-to-side and the smallest car has a built-in trapeze for the monkey. A light-up smokestack delights the eyes and when pressed the train moves forward in a straight line. For hours of amusement, the animals have movable joints, textured feet, teethable ears, and rainstick sounds. This toy is made from sturdy plastic and can withstand harsh child play. It rides especially smooth over hard surfaces, but works on carpet too. Best of all, should you suddenly feel like you're in a zoo, there is a power- volume control for quiet play. The Go Choo-Choo Train requires three C batteries (not included) and measures 23-by-7-by-13 inches (LxWxH). Features
It is no surprise that this choo-choo was chosen for Parent's Magazine Best Toys of the Year award, 2006, as well as other prestigious awards. It develops motor skills and helps babies learn to crawl, while teaching them about animals. And these chunky animals are not just cute, their feet are sculpted with various textures for fun exploration and they have teether ears to chew on. This toy also appeals to a diverse age, from babies who are first learning to crawl to toddlers who like to sing along with the animal friends. Plus, Amazing Animals sets are available if you'd like to add to the bunch. What's in the Box

 One of the best toys we own! Great for children of all ages. September 5, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
We bought this train when our son was 6 months old, after watching him thoroughly enjoy one at a cousin's house. He loves it and we are thrilled that we bought it. He has played with it ever since, and even more than any other toy he has. Not only that, but every child that has come to our house has enjoyed it, whether they were 6 months old up to 9 years! It simply captivates children of all ages. This thing is super cute and extremely durable. Even after repeated abuse (beating on it, throwing it, standing on it, even puking on it ;), it runs like a top! It even runs great on carpet! The batteries last surprisingly long on it too. In a year and a half, I think I've only changed them twice, and considering how much it is played with, that is remarkable.
It is a noise-maker, with songs and sounds, but there is a low and high volume switch (as well as an off switch) and the low setting is very tolerable. The music is really great--anything gets annoying after it's repeated many times of course, but all things considered, these songs are very well done and I enjoy them.
Just a side note that has probably already been mentioned: if you get all the train cars and hook them up, the engine isn't quite strong enough to pull them all. And then, it may do better on a hard floor rather than carpet--I haven't actually tried that. Nevertheless, that hasn't ruined the experience for my child in any way. He loves this toy, and the animals all by themselves are enough to entertain for long periods.
One more small thing: you have to buy all the rest of the train pieces and extra animals separately. This can get pretty pricey. I have seen a few deals where you can get a couple of cars and animals in a multi set for a better price. We had grandparents and friends who were encouraged to add pieces for my son's birthday and Christmas, so it actually worked out quite well. All in all, this toy gets a A+ from our family, and I would totally recommend it to anyone!
Learning about animals is REALLY. LOTS. OF FUN (toot toot) July 7, 2008

Whoever sang the songs that this train plays has really earned her dough. She warbles, she falsettos, she vibratos.. she sells it, man. She's a much more enthusiastic singer than the woman in the Fisher Price Fake Noah's Ark, I tell you this much. I really appreciate when someone goes above and beyond the call of duty for things that don't really matter, like singing a stupid animal song on a kid's toy.
The toy itself is good, as well. My son loves to throw the gorilla at me (I think the Gorilla is actually from the fake Noah's Ark) and my daughter likes to throw the little chimp at my face. It teaches hand-eye coordination and.. ?
I'm not sure. Learning about animals, I guess.
it's my godson's favorite toy November 4, 2008

I bought this for my godson's 1st birthday, and he loves it. It's educational, as it gives a parent an opportunity to teach animal names as well as colors. Children can learn motor skills by loading and unloading the train. I think it's pretty. It's my godson's favorite toy right now.
Technology with room for imagination! July 18, 2008

Our family loves this toy! My son recieved it when he was 6 months old and still plays with it at 2 years old. The train has fun songs and animal noises, but not so much that the technology takes over. We play with the animals alone, the train alone, and all of it together! It's a lot of fun and educational. My son still loves to see giraffes at the zoo after being introduced to them through this toy. Great for a large age range and boys or girls! Enjoy it!
I love this train!! June 20, 2008

We bought this train for our six month old daughter. It arrived way faster than I expected. For the price that I paid I didn't think it would be as big or as nice as it is. We have so much fun playing with this toy. It doesn't get put away. Every day when she is on the floor she always manages to get to the train. I turned off the moving wheels at the moment. She's not quite crawling and she got frustrated when it went away from her. She loves playing the different songs and hitting the whistle that makes animal sounds. She figured it out within a couple of days. I haven't seen a need to get the other cars for anything other than the fact that they're super cute!! We absolutely love this!! There is one con though. The songs get stuck in your head for days on end, since they're so catchy and fun to sing along with.
