 Perfect for 2 year old Thomas the Tank Engine FansJan 09, 2011
By Maryetta Cheney
"Lady Etta"
Our 2.5 year-old grandson was so excited to get this from grandma and grandpa for Christmas. He loves Thomas and had seen the little boy on the Amazon ad. The product arrived in a timely fashion and perfectly in-tact. It was easy to assemble and decorate with the Thomas lights and stripes. The battery has to be charged 18 hours before the first use and then after every day of play. It would be great if it were a little easier to get at the battery, but it's not too hard. We are able to go for long rides on our short nap hallway carpets and ,contrary to one review, our hardwood floors show no signs of wear. I expect he will outgrow his interest in a year, but in the meantime -- he loves it. I wish it had a toot-toot, but I imagine our neighbours are just as happy it doesn't!

Daddy ThomasMay 12, 2011
By Marjorie Kala
Bought for 2 year old grandson that loves Thomas and friends. Starting his own trainyard, don't care what size.Has a few of the smaller ones and plus. Makes a great collection. This is Daddy Thomas and he rides him every day. Learned to steer very fast. Great value, you pay almost as much for a car or truck you push. We like trains much more than all the "monsters" out there.

 Choo Choo!Feb 17, 2011
By Elaine M. Killian
My husband and I just purchased the Thomas the Train powerwheel for our son's 2nd birthday. Recently, our son has shown an interest in trains (in general), so we thought this would be the perfect gift! We were right!
The train is small, so our son is able to get on/off of it easily. The product description said it only moves at a rate of 2 mph, which is the prefect pace for a smaller child. It was really easy (and quick!!) to assemble. In fact, applying the stickers took the most time. As noted by earlier reviewers, we also recommend charging it before giving this item as a gift. It will require 18 hrs to charge. With this said, our son has had it for over 2 weeks and we haven't had to charge it again. It has been used every day as he rides it around our house for approximately 30 minutes every day.
Our only notable complaint is that the wheels are really slick. It has been difficult for the wheels to get traction on our wooden floors. At times, our son will require a small push when moving from room to room to get over where the floors meet. It seems to work really well on our rugs, so we are excited to see how well it will work outside once the weather gets warmer. Contrary to the other reviewer, our floors have not been damaged at all.
Overall impressions are that it was a great deal for the price. Our son loves it, and he plays with it daily--and he isn't even a Thomas the Train fanatic. We think it's a great first starter powerwheel for small children. It is extremely user friendly.

I have now had the opportunity to use this powerwheel outdoors. It only runs well on flat surfaces (such as pavement or sidewalks). It does not work well on grass at all. If you are buying the Thomas the Train powerwheel to be used predominantly outdoors, I would look at other models.

Well builtMar 19, 2011

this ride on is well built, but i wish the back tires had a bit more grip and went a bit faster.

Perfect for my sonFeb 05, 2011
By poetictradgedy
My son absolutely adored this toy. He was excited to get it and played with it all day. I personally think its wonderful for the price I paid for it. Not to mention it has simple controls unlike the bigger power wheels that use pedal and steering wheel to operate. My son just didnt grasp the that concept but with this one he could go anywhere.
