Advantages: Durable, Colourful, Fun, lots of features Disadvantages: Songs a bit repetitive
When my little boy had his 1st birthday we had some money given for him. What to buy? Well we kitted him out with some new clothes and had £30 left over. So off to Toys R Us we went.
I had seen this train advertised about 9 months ago when he was obviously far too young for it. Since then I had forgotten about it and so when I saw it in the shop for £29.99 I thought why not!
Included in the pack is a train engine with an attachable carriage. You ... ...-The engine-
The train engine is bright red in the main, with yellow wheels and buffer to the front. There are blue sections down the sides and the face of the engine is also blue. On the top is the funnel which is green and two rails down the sides are also green. The rails have different coloured leaves attached which spin around and slide along. The engine has a compartment which is for the girrafe to stand in. This has a tray in the bottom which ...

Advantages: Helps promote a number of different skills for baby. Disadvantages: You may find yourself singing along whether you like it or not.
A good majority of the toys I have bought for both of my children have been from _Fisher price_, although they may be a little bit more expensive than other brands I am always happy to pay more as I know I am going to get quality. Fisher price_ are a trusted manufacturer and their ranges of toys are always robust, colourful, and long lasting. This toy is suitable for babies from 6 months upwards. It will help to encourage babies to crawl, but older ... ...train comes packaged in a big open fronted box and it is quite heavy, it was priced at just under £30, but it looked like a fun toy and I thought it would appeal to my son. It takes 3 "C" batteries for the train to operate, these are not supplied, however they do last a long time even with plenty of play. I bought this train for my son's first birthday; I removed all the packaging prior to wrapping, so it was ready to be played with, as most toys ...

Advantages: Sorry Fisher Price But None Disadvantages: Just read on Very Little For Very Much
For all those that have read my toy reviews you will now know that I am an avid Fisher Price fan well my children are of course lol. (Rich I do buy them for myself really)
I have noticed that I have written about all the Fisher Price products that I have been impressed with but here I am going to balance it up a bit with my review on the Fisher Price Amazing Animal Learning Train.
I bought this for my youngest about 9 months ago for £30 as it looked ... ...Fisher Price marvel but I must say I ended up wishing I had spent the £30 elsewhere.
One taking it home and opening it up it looked like I had spent a lot on very little. The train itself was very small and certainly had a lot more box than toy and was a nightmare to get out of the clips. Once I had eventually got it out of the box and inserted the batteries 3 x C batteries (Which I had to buy separately) I let him have a good play with it. He was ...

Advantages: Tough, wipes clean Disadvantages: Batteries don't last forever
As with a lot of Fisher Price (usually quite expensive) toys my wife and I were a bit dubious about buying this toy for my son, however, we went ahead and got it and we're glad we did. My 4 kids (7, 6, 3 & 20mth) are all bonkers and love this toy to bits.
It's colourful, bright, durable, wipe clean plastic manufacturing instantly attracted the kids on Christmas Day. It's also one of the only toys at home with which my older kids will play with the ... ...it rolls along to a lovely melody about animals and their shapes and sizes, or there is a switch on the front to de-activate the motion but still play the melody.
Press the whistle and it makes animal sounds, Elephant, Monkey, Giraffe (clippety clop), Parrot, Lion and one that I haven't identified yet.
It is supplied with a trailer that connects to the train and some animals, Elephant, Giraffe and Monkey with a Parrot built onto the trailer. Still ...

Advantages: easy to understand how to activate and hence help in early play, very colourful. see longevity Disadvantages: i dont see any other than the music and the movement of the train could be longer than it is
I got this cheap at £14 in Argos, so for me it was really good value for my money. This normally retails at about £30. I was not sure at first about this toy cos my baby is really fussy and doesnt actually spend long with any toy. she loved this train. she keeps pressing the green button to set the train moving and everytime it stops she keeps going after it to press it again. she has figured how the rest of the music gets activated when u place ... ...through the day and hence i think this is totally worth it. there is still much she could do with this, which she hasnt yet. she could move the animals legs, ears etc. and when she is bigger i am hoping she would learn about each animal and collect more animals so she can play jungle or zoo with. I am hoping to buy the rest of the animals and toys in the amazing animal series of fisher price one buy one. ...

Review of Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Learning Train
Advantages: Fun Song, Motorised Action. Disadvantages: Probably won't be too engaging after about a year
This was a birthday gift that we purchased for my son's first birthday and he really loved it.
The train comes in two main part, the train and one double section trailer. Three animals are supplied with it, a tall giraffe, an elephant and a monkey. The animals fit into the train quite nicely and if requird, other animals can be bought separately... a hippo, panda and two others if I remember rightly. The train has a big green button on the front. ... ...plays and the train chugs along happily until the music ends. I have to warn you... the song, 'Hop on board.. the animal train..." is quite catchy. Thank fully the train sports a two volume button at the bottom for those times when you've really had enough of the song. Of course, smart kids work out how to turn it back on, pretty quickly. As well as the big green button, a smaller yellow one can be pressed for the occasional animal sound.
In general ...

Advantages: Bright colourful educational fun! Disadvantages: The songs dont magically change to new ones every month! hAha
My son received the Fisher Price Amazing Animals Learning Train for his first Christmas when he was six months old by his granny and granddad. Everyone had watched his face light up every time the advertisement came on TV and the grandparents insisted on getting it for him.
On Christmas morning stood a long present neatly wrapped (not for long) as he ripped of the packaging (with a little help) he was presented with a very colourful box that bordered ... ...bring primary colours and consist of a giraffe, an elephant and a cheeky monkey. When you press the train the music begins "Hop on board the animal train READY here we come,,,," you will soon know these of by heart and the train moves along. In the engine train part if you place one of the animals provided to sit in the space it will reward your baby with another one of the five catchy tunes which teaches all about animals ( thank god for the volume ...

Advantages: durable, good for learning Disadvantages: maybe higher than 1 yr
I bought this for my daughters first birthday 2 years ago now! Its survived its ordeal so id say it where durable... I think its recommended from 1yr, i think thats debateable as with a lot of baby toys, when i first had this my daughter was taking her first steps a liked to climb in and out of things, including this. It became a very scary roller skate for her! so i kind of wish is bought it a little later so she could understand its function a ... ...comes with a giraffe, elephant and monkey all of which are good for a childs stimulation feeling all the different tsxtures, and if you twist the legs ect it clicks. The train itself can go along by itself or be pushed depending on its setting, the go by itselfs bit went on mine within a few weeks but is misteriusly back since giving it to my son, probably because it didnt like being stood in........ It has a song it sings for when its going along ...

Advantages: Bright, colourful and fun, helping crawling Disadvantages: The voice of the singing
Both my son and myself think this toy is fantastic. He was given it from Santa, and at seven and a half months old I though he wouldn't be to interested in it, I was very wrong. At the time, he just loved its tunes, and watching it move as well as nibbling his new animal friends. He is now 9 months old, and plays with it an awful lot more. I tend to put it away and when he gets a bit grumpy during the day I pull it out and it makes him so happy. ... ...from still chewing all the animals (the monkey's tail is great for teething!), sitting up and pressing the green button to hear its tunes, making the leafs and banana's move and now trying to follow it as his learning to crawl. We haven't got loads of toys in our house, we try to buy a few big ones and then lots of cheap ones, and I am so glad we have this one. It is bright and cheerful and I truely feel it is helping my son with his crawling as ...
