It wasnt issue to buy the "small" train vtech because, for me, this toy was going to take a wild place in the room of our son. But like many parents, we finally cracked, to the delight of the small railway 2 ½ years. But what a purchase! If we ignore that half of the show is now covered with colored rails, as songs remembering strikes SNCF cover the sound of the TV, it must be admitted that this toy is a marvel. For my part, I am back to childhood because it reminds me of the little train "Vulli" that there javais of that 30 years. The vehicle does not just sing he fact that also walks on his circuit, pass on "magic" areas, sneaks under the bridge and stopped before the gates, pulling behind her cargo. The child should then intervene to make his way back and climb the bridge to the help of a crank. To make it work, it will take 5 LR03 batteries (for remote small) or 3 and 2 to the train station. This is perfectly fine when you're used to invest in emergency packs of 20 batteries. However, rechargeable batteries are recommended because the train will roll, roll, roll, until the last song !!
An investment, of course, but when you see the joy in the eyes of his son, the "choo choo" that he grows inadvertently waking up in the morning at the idea of finding his train, it worth its price. In addition, "Tut tut Bolides" toys are designed to suit a wide range Dage, and the delight of young and old, which nest unfortunately not the case of all!
Edit: Just to clarify dad, lorsquon cuts the smaller engine, the train rolls "freewheel" singing like a "fireball tut tut" normal. The child can then guide him on any circuit without damaging the gears.
