Product Information

Another option is the slightly smaller BRIO Deluxe Cargo Train Set. As suggested by the name, this train set is more geared towards freight trains. Included are three cranes - including a gantry crane and a battery powered crane.

The BRIO Travel Switching Train Set is another train set that comes highly recommended. It includes two passenger trains, a station, a bridge, and figures of the drivers and passengers.One of Hape's most popular toys for kids is the Mighty Mountain Train Set, which is an award winning train set in the theme of a mountain mine. The set has a unique multi-level design and includes a waterfall tunnel, a realistic boom crane, an obstacle bridge, a conveyor belt and a repair station. We think this is a really neat set that provides a lot of variety at playtime. It's one of the more expensive train sets in this guide, however you do get a lot for your money - it's a big set with plenty to do, so the kids will never be bored! The age recommendation for this train set is three years old and above. Hape Wooden Trains for Toddlers and Younger Children Another great option for younger kids would be the Undersea Figure 8 Wooden Train Set which is a lovely set combining the world of sea-creatures and trains. This set has a nice turquoise colour scheme, so would be equally suitable for both girls and boys. The centre 'pool', that the train drives over, features a really innovative use of magnets that cause the fish to be attracted to the engine as it travels along! We think it's excellent - and it's often simple features like this that really make a toy stand out. KidKraft Wooden Train Sets BRIO also offer a range of themed train sets that integrate other elements which are great for kids who have other interests besides trains. For those that love farms and animials there's the very popular BRIO World Farm Animal Train Set or the BRIO Safari Train Set.

The majority of wooden train sets come with a minimum age recommendation of 3 years and up for safety reasons, due to the presence of small parts and choking hazards etc. However, BRIO has come up with a range of My First Railway Train Sets for kids as young as 18 months old. These sets are extremely well designed with younger children specifically in mind. As with their other offerings for older children, these sets have the same high build quality we associate with BRIO. They have some very innovative design features to ensure that these products are extremely safe for younger children. The trains themselves are very robust and the magnetic couplings are encased in secure plastic covers preventing them from being prised off or shattering into small pieces. This may be one of the more expensive train sets included in this guide, but if you're seeking a wooden train set with plenty of variety, excellent durability, and enough playability to last several generations, the BRIO Deluxe Railway Set is the perfect product for this purpose. It includes a full passenger and freight train set up, with plenty of variety and things to do. It also includes a very useful storage box.In addition to the very welcome safety features a My First Railway Train Set is extremely well thought out in terms of the fun interactive aspects that small toddlers are sure to enjoy. These wooden train sets feature couplers that are reversible, meaning the polarity of the magnets can be flipped - allowing the locomotives and carriages to be coupled together no matter the direction they're facing. This can be useful in reducing the frustration level for younger children compared with more traditional wooden train set magnets that are of a fixed polarity.
