I got a great deal and the child loved it!

I bought this for a friends son. He loved it and I only paid about 1/4 of what I have seen it for at stores and even on tv shopping channels!
Great learning toy! 2006-06-16
This train is a lot of fun. The songs are catchy and easy to sing along with. There are several different songs depending on the train mode so as a parent, it doesn't get too irritating.
The toy itself is built out of strong hard plastic which has survived the dog chewing on it and being thrown around the room. There is a switch that changes modes which includes an OFF mode for parents.
Learning motor skills, my kids easily hook up the different cars to the train engine and love hearing a new part of the song. Depending on the mode, they learn about colors or numbers.
Stacking the cars is another way to play with this toy. I've never seen a "train tower" in real life, but the kids love making these at home. The best part is always knocking it over!

First of all, I doubt much of the paint was even swallowed by your little one.
Second, WHERE have you been the last decade plus??? The paint used today in infant and childrens toys is generally non-toxic and LEAD FREE! Your child will not die from it any more than he will die from having the walls painted in his bedroom.
Third, you should probably find a new doctor, because your current one must think you are insane for making an appointment for a little paint chipping.
Fourth, you should call and apologize to whomever you chewed out at LeapFrog because they make exceptional infant, toddler, and children's products!
My son loves this toy train and it is completely safe or it would not still be on the market.

When my toddler gets tired of a toy, I put it away for a month or so. When I bring it back out, it's like a new toy all over again! It is great to have a toy rotation box, then you have two sets of toys that are well played with, but not all out at once.
Not safe, bad paintjob

The toy is great but they could have used colored plastic rather than cheap paint. Take a look at my customer photos and you will see why I had to give this toy 1 star. Imagine seeing that after your kid played with this toy. I took my son to the Dr. just in case and he suggested a lead test. Thank god nothing was wrong but the least Leapfrog could have done was use colored plastic for the head.
Enjoyable for a month or so 2005-12-19
My daughter likes this toy. She likes the songs, and she likes that she can take it apart and put it back together. When you put the train pieces together, it knows what car was added and sings the appropriate song. I think it helped her to learn colors, as well as learning the meaning of "It's backward, sweety." Like most tos, my daughter grew bored of it after a motnh or so and was ready for something new. I guess that's a good thing, but it's expensive!
My son loves it! 2007-05-04
I bought this toy for my son when he was about 9-10 months old. He loves to hear the songs, and plays with it most of the time. One day, playing with him, I heard him said very quietly "two" after he heard from the singing song: "one... two.... three...four...". It is just amazing. His mom won't believe me, but he did say "two".
It's a fun toy and very pleasant song to hear.

Good buy 2007-01-10
Great toy... Teaches colors, numbers, and stacking. Volume control a plus. Cute songs.
Fun 2007-01-09
My son LOVES trains, so he likes this toy fine. He's two and he doesn't understand connecting the train it asks for, but the toy just sings a song about whatever train is connected. He also dropped the engine in the tub and it didn't work for a few days. Once it dried out though it worked fine.
Great train, but VERY loud. 2006-12-31
This train is really cool. My two and a half year old son loves it even though we bought it for the 8 month old. The songs are great and the interactivity with attaching cars is cool. The only problem is that it is too loud. The low setting is as loud as it should ever go, and the loud setting must be for playing with it inside a loud factory. Inside a house the loud setting is deafening. It would get 5 stars if I didn't wish I were wearing earplugs...
