We've now had this train for more than 6 months. He is still pretty rough with slamming the characters down and grabbing them when they are up. It's been a durable toy and helps teach cause and effect (push a button, something happens; pull or push the train, music plays). He still plays with this toy almost every day, so he's liked it a lot. As a parent, I wish it had a little more educational aspect Pooh asks to go on another ride, and if the child actually moved the toy again, it would be great if there was acknowledgement of the child's response. Each character pop-up only has two phrases, which can get on an adult's nerve after a while. However, it is still a favorite of his.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program While a very cute toy train, there is not much to hold a child's interest (or an adult's patience). The toy consists of three train cars, one for each Piglet, Tigger, and Pooh. When the keys are pressed, each character makes a noise and says something and that is it 3 sounds to be repeated over and over. The toy seems very durable and the keys are even somewhat too hard for little fingers to press. The pop-up latches also seem to catch, making it hard for little fingers to close. It is cute, but very limited which makes it seem like a toy that will be short-lived.Best Deals for Fisher-Price Disney's Winnie the Pooh - Pooh's Musical Pop-up Choo
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The construction of this toy is what I want to comment on first. It's SO durable! Most plastic items you can buy at this time are thin and just feel cheap. They're easily cracked and simply don't hold up to constant play and wear. This little train is made of super-thick plastic, has a heavier feel than typical toys, and just feels like it can stand up to being tossed around/stepped on/chewed on/etc. I was very impressed with that aspect.The actual "fun" factor is quite high for a child probably 8-9 months, as they're just getting into the concept of pushing buttons having a cause/effect. I think children over a year will be bored of the train easily, so the age range on the box could definitely be adjusted. I did like the pull-along feature, which would be great for those just beginning to walk, but the pop-up features would be better for the younger age range.
I didn't take issue with the volume level and the actual tunes/voices used in the toy aren't incredibly annoying as some toys are. Overall, I think the toy is priced a bit high for what you get (3 train cars), however the durability makes up for that. I'm always willing to pay a bit more for quality products. Ooh and the batteries are actually INCLUDED, which I find amazing.
