    Melissa and Doug is awesome

    I didn't even know they made a toy like this. My daughter saw these at a play date with one of her friends and she was OBSESSED. I never knew she'd grow to love trains so much. These are durable, magnetic, and cool for kids who like trains.

    These are great my son loves playing with them but I wish they were just a tad bit wider so they wouldn't topple over as easy.

    Nice colorful trains

    My grandson loved these trains. They have magnets at each end so they can be pulled together all at once. He loves playing with them.

    Nice to have train cars that work without pulling out train tracks for play.

    Perfect

    This set is so cute, with pretty good quality wheels. I got it to use with a different brands train tracks and it worked even better than the train that came with the tracks!! The size is really nice and big but slim enough for small kids to play with and grab easily. I love the case it comes with too.

    Regret purchase

    The train cars are cute and colorful but they are top heavy and tip over easily. Also, the magnets are weak. Sorry I purchased this.

    Great trains!

    My kiddo loves to use the trains on the train tracks or on the floor! At first, you have to play around with them a bit to find the polarity and how the magnets will stick together, but yes they all do connect!
