Great first truck
My son has this and one other handle hauler. He loves them both! He carries one in each hand and then gets down on his knees and pushes them side by side. As most Little Tikes toys, this truck is inexpesive, durable and very much age appropriate. Great gift for a first birthday! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Much more fun than the plain crossover bridge of the simplest Thomas sets, this lifting bridgehas solid "brick" pilings, green plastic "steel beam" bridge railings, and a simple winding mechanism(driven by a hidden string pulley) for raising the bridge deck.Since a section of rail line goes underneath,this can't be for allowing the passage of tall-masted yachts, but it would be ideal if, say, Percy weretowing a freight car containing an upended dog biscuit.It also has a control tower and two swinging stop sign barriers. --Richard Farr ...

Hours of Fun
I was a bit taken back by the price, but the durability that goes along with these products is worth it. I gave this to my two year-old-son and he has been playing with it non-stop. The crank is easy to use, even for your toddler. Worthy investment.

My child loves this but...
My four year old daughter particularly wanted this Thomas bridge because of its close resemblance to some of the bridges in the videos (unlike some of the new buildings). It is a particularly attractive addition to her set, but (and I regret to complain about a toy brand that has given my child so many hours of intensive play), after only a few uses the string that lifts the bridge is already giving way, causing the drawbridge to slip down after it's been raised. My child still plays with it, and always adds it to her latest set-ups, but the bridge stays down a lot nowadays out of frustration with this slipping.

Also, parents should note the bridge's lower course track connections are on both sides "female" - you may wish to buy an additional "male" track adapter pack if you (ie, your child) still can't resist this one, for ease of construction.

Simply a great add on for a neat train layout
Durable, fun, and entertaining describe this neat little lifting bridge for the Thomas the Train (BRIO Compatiable) track layouts....I suggest this for kids 3 and up....under 3 may have trouble working the crank or understanding what to do....but they still have a blast running the trains over the bridge....this was the second bridge we added to our kid's set...and it has fast become a favorite.... ...

Dumpety is great for kids, but loud for parents
My son loves this toy, however it is loud. But don't let that be a deterant for you. It's really cute. A word of advice though...the boulders are small enough to be put into little one's mouth's and they look a bit like a Dunkin' Donut munchkin. So as a parent who's been there, keep an eye on those boulders!! But overall my son who's going to be 2 has enjoyed this toy since December. And it's the first one out of the toybox!

GET IT CHEAPER
I bought this for half the cost shown here, at Big Lots. Little People, like most Fisher-Price toys, are fun, fun, fun, and extremely durable for the younger players.

The Best!
We bought this as a last minute purchase for my son's first birthday. Because of the price, we just couldn't pass it up. We also bought the cement mixer at the same time. My son just loves them both! He cannot walk into his playroom without playing with the boulders and pushing the trucks. Everything has a "place to be put away", but these trucks sit on the playtable because of how often they are used. It took him about 2 weeks before he could figure out how to put the boulders where they belong, but as soon as he did, he began clapping. He looked so proud, and it was truly a great moment for us as parents to see his accomplishment! Now he is a pro! If you are looking for something cheap and durable, this is a great purchase for a little boy!

heaps of fun and a giggle on the side
I bought this from the hopital gift shop for my four year old son to paly with while confined to bed on an Intravenous drip on a recent stay in hospital. He didn't play with it much and I thought that I had made a bad purchasing decision, even though we have a large selection of the Little People toys at home that he and his two year old baby sister (and even his thirteen year old big sister, but she'd never admit it) play with almost daily.
However, when we got it (and him) home from hospital, the situation changed, and the "BRRRRUM, BRRRUMMM" (the "Dumpety" character that is the truck actually speaks the sound) and backing signal echo around our house what seems like all day. It could be an annoying sound, only it always amuses me to hear the truck SAY "BRUM" instead of hearing a sample of a real truck engine noise. The tipping sound is a bit more disturbing, with the "crash tinkle tinkle" at the end, it has tricked me a couple of times.
I am not overly enamored with the two boulders that come with the truck (and indeed with the other items in the construction set), they are a menace to stand on, and I hate hollow things that can be crushed and/or fill up with water and grow mould. I am also always finding them in odd places around the house, neither of my two little ones seem to believe that they should go with the truck, or indeed in the Little People toybox at all! I think that children are quite resourceful enough to find something to put into the tip-tray to dump out again( mine are anyway! It's currently filled with whole peanuts...), the boulders were an unneccessary addition. ... Read more

minro
well my dog chichi dosnot like him but he is great helmit moves hands twist chest dosnot move wheels in his feet help him move.

mini robosapien
My 8 year old son bought the mini robosapien and asked me to transcribe his review.So in his words this is what he thinks of the mini-robosapien...

The mini robosapien does not have a remote control, but it is still fun to play with.It's eyes light up and it can walk.The hands and arms move by pressing buttons on the robots back. The grippers really work and can hold different things. I really like this toy and think you should try one out.

umm ok
this is sort of ok but is nothing near what i expected and i dont no if i would buy another.it doesnt really do much.But if you have a very young child that cant understand the normal one this one is great it is a very good piece to a collection if you use it for show whit other robosapien.overall its ok for show or a yong one not for an adult or hacker of robosapiens. ...

Editorial Review

This miniature water tower is a simple, clever toy that is fun for any age. Attached to a smallplatform and piece of track, it fits neatly into the Thomas the Train layout that your child has alreadydesigned. A lever action pump "empties" and "fills" the see-through tower, so your child will have a realsense of filling up the engine.

Based on the award-winning Shining Time Station television series, the Thomas the Tank Enginetrain system fulfills all of a child's train-set dreams. Each 2-inch-high, wooden vehicle has black plasticwheels and a different name, character, and face, and there are magnetic bumpers at the ends for easylink-up. Your child will delight in making the pieces interact during imaginary play and will learn socialskills playing train with friends. Designed to keep pace with your child's development, this toyencourages the use of new motor and cognitive skills. Other track pieces and accessories are available.--Sandy Hirsch ... Read more

good for all kids
my mom boght me and my brothergot this for christmas . HE didnt like this toy but i loved it!

Neat addition to your train set
We have a LOT of water towers in our city and my son is just fascinated with them. So, I bought this water tower after he refused to stop playing with it at The Anderson's General store. What a great purchase this is! I personally love watching the pretend water going up and down with the movement of the spout. "Water tower" as my little one calls it, goes everywhere with us. To church, to grandma's, grocery store, you name it, it's his favorite train piece. Why, I have no idea but I do know that he, along with every other child I've seen with it, absolutely adores this tower.

A nice addtion
We recently started adding new pieces to our son's Thomas set, and this is a nice one. The "water" level goes up/down in harmony with the movable spout. Also, this is one of the less expensive pieces (the others, like the fire station, cost as much as the entire Figure 8 starter set!). Add on more fun with this water tower.

Very Cool
I bought this after my two and a half year old son played with it in a store that had it on display. he loved playing with it and he pretends to be giving the trains a bath. I highly recommend it to add to any thomas set. The best part about these pieces is the lifetime warrenty, and they actually stand by it. I have already needed a couple of pieces replaced and they did it very quickly. The trains and accessories are very good quality and are very durable!

A Great Addition to Any Thomas Track
The water tower makes a fine addition to any Thomas set up. The "water level" in the tower raises and lowers each time the spigot is moved. My son recently received this for a birthday present, and he enjoys pretending to give his engines drinks of water from the tower. It is durable for hours of play. The water tower or any other Thomas building or accessory make fine additions to the tracks. ... Read more

my review
this boat was good but mine had a crack in back when i bought it. i only had this boat for 2 days then the enigene started stutering going of and on it worked well i loved this boat but it didn"t meet my needs. I recomend that if you like takeing a risk with the quialty of your boat BUY BUY BUY IT! But if you like being safe dont buy it.

fun toy
Too cold to swim ,but we are having fun with this boat .We want another but only one channel is avalible

Good range
My friend has a Nikko boat that doesnt run have as good as my USA. I had to push him in. He ran out of range be the other side of our pond in the backyard.

pool action
Batteries lasted a long long time. It was fun!

Power
I have gotten many toys from several stores. I always have to look around for a POWERFUL boat, car, or motorcycle. My friends and I would devote ourselves to one store if they would put more POWER into their toys. Many do not perform as well as the box displays. If there was some way you could show us truly how powerful it is, then we would be more inclined to buy the item.I only ask the toys are fun. ... Read more

A quiet meal!!
This is the best ten bucks I ever spent. My two year old doesn't yet know how to sit still or let the grown-ups talk durring dinner out. This toy lets us have a nice relaxing meal. We save it for dinners out or for when company comes. This way he can be at the table with all of us and neither me nor my DH have to take him away and miss the conversation. I will definitely buy a second one for my youngest when he is old enought.

Great entertainment for planes!
I bought this toy for my 20 month old when we had to take a plane across country by ourselves. He loved it - it kept him occupied for a good half hour...which at 20 months is quite a lot to ask! I recommend it to anyone who needs to amuse a little one in a seat for an extended period of time. And you don't need to wait until he is three.

GREAT TOY FOR RESTUARANTS
I just got this for my 3 year old Thomas fanatic son. We were going to a fancy restuarant for my dads birthday and I wanted him to behave. Well, this tiny little toy kept him busy the entire time. He absolutely loved it. My only complaint is that the little peices (the horses) kept falling off the table. Other than that, I cant wait for them to come out with more of these toys. Excellent idea. It fit in my purse perfectly, all the peices fit inside very well with no force necessary- he did all the work himself. For the price, excellent value. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Someone figured out a way to shrink a Lincoln Navigator down to fit into a box then added a real FM radio for you. Nearly everything works on this incredibly detailed radio controlled vehicle. The hood opens to let you check out the engine, front doors work giving you an inside look of all the interior details, headlights shine, brake lights flash, left and right turn signals operate, and even the rear door comes up to reveal a functional FM radio. Even the sounds are realistic. You can hear the engine rev or brakes screech to a sudden stop while playing your favorite FM station the entire time. The controller gives you a full range of motion while also letting you work the horn, turn on the lights, put on the automatic locks, or shift into 3 different speeds (slow to fast). All the batteries you need are included. --Chip Quinn ... Read more

Driving our own tricked out Toyota Supra might be a little unattainable for some--but if we could shrink down to 1/10th of our regular size, this snazzy little remote-control number might be a perfectly acceptable substitute. And if you choose to get involved in such a contest, we suggest perhaps making it an obstacle course. Because while the Toyota travels fairly quickly, it features exceptionally responsive steering, able to move left and right, forward and back with tremendous ease. The Toyota is blue with a rear spoiler and tinted windows and requires a 9.6-volt battery pack and one 9-volt battery (included). --Charlie Williams ... Read more
