According to our testers the GearZooz Roll & Roar Animal Train will quickly become one of the most frequently played with toddler toys in your house. That’s a pretty big statement. The train, which is bright, colorful and instantly appealing, is a classic pull toy with a string attached to the front, but its combined with a nice dose of technology and fun interchangeable gears. This train moves really well on tile, hardwood, and even carpet. The suggested age is spot on. Younger children will enjoy pulling it around, unhooking the train cars, pushing the light-up buttons, and listening to all the sounds and songs. This toy will also help younger children with speech and basic words. Theyll learn animal sounds, and hear sounds from different locations such as the beach, park, mountains, and the zoo. The train also plays music in various instrument sounds that your child selects. As a child grows the more theyll start to understand how the gears work, an excellent lesson that teaches children about cause and effect and strengthens their fine motor skills. VTech has included a switch volume settings which made our parent testers very happy.
