One of the reasons train sets are so popular is that they’re great, timeless toys. Trains transcend pop culture. Choosing the right train set for your child can be a bit tricky especially if she or he is a toddler. This is the age where they are fine-tuning their motor skills and are constantly putting things in their mouth. In the guide below we have goodies for all ages. Here are a few things to look for in a train set.
Age appropriateness: Most people believe a child is train-ready when they are over 8 years old. But that is not the case. Today, there are trains designed for different ages. For ages between 2-5 years old choose push train sets. For children between 5-8 years old, choose battery powered trains. For kids over 8 years, gift them with electric trains.
Safety: If you are looking for a train for younger children, consider train sets with big pieces. For electric trains, ensure all wires are well covered.
Layouts: Choose a train set with different types of layouts. This keeps your child interested while mastering his or her track placements or throttle control skills.
