Fisher-Price Geo-Trax Train system — 

Knowing how much our little girl loves trains, my husband thought it would be fun to get this for her.  We bought it for her last year, before she was even 3 years old.  It was easy for us to assemble and even easier for her to use.

This Geo-Trax train set is a wonderful toy.  It gets a child involved in imaginitive play and gets the parents involved in getting down and playing with the kids.  I know my husband and I take turns playing with our daughter.  My husband loves to try and find different ways to assemble the tracks with my daughter.  When he got her this toy he also bought her a box of extra tracks and props to make it even larger.

Our little girl loves to pick up passengers at the station and drop them off somewhere else and pick them up again.  This set came with three figures, the conductor and two passengers.  The remote control can make the train go forward, stop, or reverse.  It also makes some great train sound effects.

The Grand Central Station "platform" has stairs on one side for passengers and a slide on the other for cargo.  One of the other accessories this set comes with is a little plastic yellow "crate" which is the sole piece of cargo the train can drop off and pick up.  The platform contains an elevator for passengers and a drop for the cargo.

This is a fun, multi-functional train set!  It's a great "first" train set for little hands.  I'll never forget the look on our daughter's face when she found out daddy was buying it for her.
