MGA Mini Lalaloopsy Silly Pet Parade Train

I got this train for my daughter.It's super cute and unfortunately expensive.To have a full train it's well over $50.Unfortunately I'm returning it because they don't stay together.The way they created the parts that hook up seems opposite of what it should be.

We bought this main engine and all the little caboose type silly pet attachments that go along with this mini lalaloopsy toy. It's so darned cute, but I would not recommend for kids less than 5 years old.

Pros's and Cons to it, here's my take:

The main train actually takes batteries (AAA's so make sure you have some around or buy them, we're a household of AA's so I had to make another trip!)it plays a really cute tune that you can't get out of your head, both my husband agree its one of the cutest noise singalong toys that we've probably had. My daughter played for a long time hooking up the little attachments and playing with the adorable pets that come with it, it takes some patience to hook up the little attachments, thats why I wouldn't suggest for less than 5 years old. it's really colorful but thats about as educational as it gets, not an educational toy at all. Once you have hooked up the extra silly pet attachments, (which are sold individually and tally up to a small fortune) the train actually powers the engine and all the cabooses follow it around the room, will only work on hardwood or vinyl floor, won't power very well on ceramic floor and forget it on carpet.

I actually had to return the first one as it didn't do anything, but second time's a charm...overall we like it, I would recommend it for 5 and up, probably a good toy to "build up" piece by piece due to cost.

the locomotive is fun and cute for my 3 year old. although, the cars just pop off the poorly designed latch, the song is cute and the locomotive does turn itself around when it hits the wall, so my cat loves it too. :) like all lalaloopsy stuff however, i feel their prices are high for the quality of manufacturing, the cars should have a way to securely lock on since they are obviously useless without the locomotive.

This train is great except for two things. First, the cars don't stay hitched to the train. The hitch hooks for the train cars face down and the cars constantly come unhitched, usually not even getting pulled by the locomotive at all before becoming so. Could have easily been fixed by making the hitch hooks point upward. Second problem, the train doesn't turn off by itself. When you push the button in the seat to make it start, it will just keep going. There is no set time limit. So if your kid turns it on and leaves the room, you get to buy new batteries. Seems like it should have a "sleep" mode. These poor design flaws really make it a lousy toy. The first makes it nearly unusable, especially with all the extra cars they encourage you to buy. The second floor will have you constantly replacing the batteries. That's if you kids like it enough without it pulling the cars.

It's cute but not a big fan of the miniature accessories as I am of the dolls. Purchased for my three-year-old along with lots of other lalaloopsy items. Unfortunately, I had to put several miniature things away until next yearthey are too small to "play" with.
