Most-used toy in our house(Review From Amazon) | General Comments:
Battery-powered Thomas has now replaced our 10-year old "Sit-'n-Spin" as the most-played with toy for our 3 daughters. We bought the new Thomas to replace our old one, which endured a trip through our daughter's hair (had to be cut out and was never quite the same) and a swim in the toilet. The old model went forward and backwards (cool!) but the switch was very difficult for toddlers' fingers to manipulate (not cool). The new Thomas goes forward only, but the on/off button is very easy to use. We have had problems with Thomas. Sometimes he just dies, and then miraculously begins working later. Also, since the new Thomas has a headlight (cool!), he's a battery junkie (not cool). It is common for us to go through a battery every day. I now keep rechargeable batteries at the ready, as I'm sick of funding Thomas' indulgences. Thomas does jump the track more often than he should, but that doesn't seem to upset our kids, and therefore I don't care. The problems prevent me from awarding Thomas 5 stars, but his popularity with our kids earns him 4 stars. That said, I'm going to follow through with one of the other reviewer's suggestions and buy a Brio engine next. |
