My 3 year old received this train about 2 weeks ago and has been in love with it since. It is very easy to use, has three colored buttons for forward, backwards turn and tricks. Thomas speaks several phrases and blows steam out of his stack. It's really cool to see the steam in the dark, the stack glows blue and you can see the steam come out. The really nice thing about this train is that it doesn't require tracks so it can go pretty much anywhere. The train seems to be well built and can handle the abuse that a 3 year old would likely give...mine has already dropped it a few times. Overall, I would recommend this product, even my older boys, 5 & 6, enjoy playing with it. The author of this review received a free sample of the product.

My son has been thoroughly entertained with this steam engine. It was easy for him to control. He loves the steam, it is completely cool to touch. We have needed to fill the steam chamber daily, but this is very easy and mess free. Seems to be very well made, not cheap looking or feeling. Has several different sounds that it makes. My son has loved this toy, I feel like it is somewhat expensive considering its just a remote controlled train. Overall, we like the train, doesn't seem t o waste batteries too bad either.

Both of my kids are fans of Thomas and have enjoyed this toy. My 4 year old son probably has more fun with it than my 2 year old daughter. The steam feature is pretty neat - it's not "smoky" or hot to the touch - it's similar to the steam you'd have from a vaporizer but on a smaller level! My only complaint is that there's no indicator to know when the water level is low so you kind of have to try and make it steam or just add the water. I wish there wasn't a water tube to fill it - w hile it fits conveniently and securely under the train, it's still another piece that can get lost. We've had a few times where Thomas doesn't respond right away to the remote but switching both things on and off seems to take care of it. Thomas runs easily on all floor surfaces, including plush carpet. He's a little noisy when he talks - it would be nice if there was a volume button, but it's easy to tune out as parents! Overall this is a fun toy for Thomas fans of all ages! The author of this review received a free sample of the product.

This train goes forwards, backwards, in a circle and zigzags. Using the remote control, my 3 yo old son was able to do all this himself. You also put water into the train and it puffs out real steam -not hot , though- and sings some songs. My three kids fight over it as the 5yo and 7yo love it too. The best part is the remote control feature that a 3yo can easily use alone as there are only three buttons to push. I think this toy will last, unlike other remote control cars, as the remote is not delicate and can withstand some dropping. The remote sometimes hesitates a bit and I think it needs new batteries but then it starts back up again. It navigates around the room, singing and steaming. We have had this toy for about a month and have only refilled the water twice. This is well worth the money! This is a durable little train and the steam feature makes it unique.

My 3 year old son was so excited to get the Steam and Speed Thomas. It is a must have for your little Thomas fan! It is easy for little hands to control and seems like a sturdy toy that will last a long time. The steam feature isn't my sons favorite feature he just loves to drive the train all over the house. I have been wanting to get my son a remote control train and this was great for him! The author of this review received a free sample of the product.

Our 3 year old enjoyed playing with this train a lot. He can easily handle the controls as they are fairly intuitive. He especially likes the steam and enjoys filling it himself. I like that the steam only requires tap water and not some special formula, a la Lionel trains. The train is super fun for him. The author of this review received a free sample of the product.

My 4-year-old wanted a RC car, but a train is even better! This one is very basic. You can't steer it, but since he's driving a train he doesn't seem to care! He hasn't even seen much Thomas the Train stuff and he still loves it. The "steam" is more like a cool mist. We drove this all over our house on various flooring and it doesn't stop. I would beware of using it near stairs though. Thomas might handle that fine but a drop of the remote would be bad. The sounds can also get prett y annoying after a while but no worse than any other kids' toy. I do wish it had a good volume switch. Occasionally the buttons on the remote won't work - but only for that one time and then you let go and re-press and suddenly it works again. Seems like it's not anything really wrong, but it'd be nice if it would just work every time. It's pretty pricey, especially when you consider that batteries aren't included. Overall I recommend it. My son really likes it. The author of this review received a free sample of the product.

We received two of these for Christmas. Everyone in the family was fighting over who gets to play with it. It is easy for my son to play with. He is nearly two. And easy for dad, grandma and big sister to play with too! It works well on our carpets. No issues. I highly recommend this.

My 4 year old loves this train. He can operate it better than some of his RV remote control cars and trucks. This toy is perfect for his little hands. It doesn't turn like some RV controlled vehicles but it isn't really necessary. His favorite part about it is the steam. It makes it look very realistic. I like that the steam is not hot at all and that he needs no assistance with this toy. It is not messy and keeps him entertained for a while. The batteries do seem to drain pretty fast. My 9 yea r old girl also thought it was a cool toy and she wanted to play with it too. Overall this is a very good toy especially for 3-5 year old boys.
