Buy The Learning Journey Alphabet Express RC Train

Customer Ratings:

When we saw this at the store, my 3 year old son said, "let's get this!" I told him it was a toy for little ones like his sister. He then said, "we can SHARE it!". As it turns out, my 9 month old mostly gets to watch as my 3 year old plays with it, but she loves listening and watching. The "choo choo" sound when you press the funnel is really cute and the ABC song that is activated by pushing letters is also cute. My 3 year old sings along to it to the baby.

He loves moving it along the floor or using the remote. He'll also give the simple two-button remote to the baby and she presses the buttons, making the train go forwards or backwards. He takes a box and calls it a "blocked tunnel" and stops the train with it if she keeps pressing.

The logs rest in a recessed part of the tender and come off as an entire piece. My 9 month old loves to catch it and put it in her mouth or bang it on the top of the train.

There is a low and high volume button as well as an English / Spanish button.

The three of us love it!

Note that it did NOT come with tracks. I have no idea why one reviewer said it did.

My two-year-old son played with this at a friend's house and loved it, so we got one for our house. It really combines several toys into one it's a great first RC toy for toddlers, it has the alphabet buttons on the side and says the alphabet in English or Spanish, pressing the train engineer or the smoke stack make train sound effects, and the logs that the train is carrying can come out (as a single piece, not individual logs). The remote is very simple; one button for forward and one for back. I think figuring out how the controller works has been a good mental exercise for my son. He also likes to press the letter buttons and take the logs out and put them back in.

The description doesn't make it clear that the train comes with about 7 feet of train track, which make an oval that's about 3 feet long and 2 feet wide. (See the picture I added above for a view of the track.) The train will drive on wood floors or foam mats (not carpet), but since it just has forward and backward controls, you can't actually steer it when it's not on the track. My son likes to derail it anyway, though, and drive it around the playroom.

Overall my son and I both think this is a really cool toy, and I think you get a lot for the price.

This little train was a hit at Christmas this year! Our 20-month old son is mildly obsessed with trains. He loves pushing the letter buttons and the smoke stack to have the train say "choo-choo". He also loves the remote control very easy for him to use. The on/off buttons are easily accessible, so we're able to adjust the language (spanish/english) and volume controls. Our son has figured out the buttons as well.

I bought this for my nieces 2nd birthday. She's obsessed with trains so I figured she would like it. That was an understatement. She loves being able to control it and is simple for her little hands. Very satisfied with my purchases.
