Best Kids' Play Trains & Trams of 2025

"I found these trains to be the same quality as the Brio brand but at a fraction of the cost. My 2-year-old and 4-year-old absolutely loved them as a perfect Christmas gift along with the wooden tracks."

"My grandson was thrilled with the trains! Bright colors and good weight make them easy to handle. They are durable wood but I did wish they came with train tracks included, so I had to buy those separately."

"I purchased these to complement our wooden train track set, and they were perfect! The wheels fit well on both this set and other name brands. My 2-year-old grandson is having a blast with them, especially since the magnets work great!"

"This toy is very well made and sturdy. My son loves it!"

"I got this for my 1-year-old daughter, and she absolutely loves it. It's worth the money!"

"My grandson enjoys this toy a lot, but I wish it had more interactive pieces."

"My son is 3 1/2 and loves his train; it was very easy to assemble."

"I bought this for my nephew's birthday. He was thrilled with the bright colors and enjoyed building the tracks, creating his own little world. It's fun to see him busy for a long time. I appreciate the storage box that keeps everything tidy. Pros: great for creative play and easy cleanup. Cons: some pieces are tricky to fit together."

"I got this for my 5-year-old for Christmas. Initially, I thought it was good, but I couldn't find the instructions since we threw away the box. Once I figured it out, it wasn't hard at all. The train runs fine, but it can get a bit boring since it just goes in a loop. Overall, for $20, I'm not upset, though it's not a favorite."

"My son absolutely adores these baby trains. They go everywhere with us, fitting easily into various bags. They all connect and run smoothly. I'm thrilled with this toy!"

"I was excited to find these perfect for Easter eggs! My little guy usually doesn't get cool toys, so I can't wait to see his reaction. They are lighter than originals, which might suggest lower quality, but the price and fun designs make them worth it!"

"My son Levi has been obsessed with a Thomas minis app, so when I found these on a lightning deal right before his birthday, it was a no-brainer purchase. He was squealing with excitement when he unwrapped them, immediately naming each one. They are a good size, and I'm very happy with the durability and quick delivery!"

"My 5 and 7-year-old enjoy playing with it. Super easy to install AA batteries!"

"I got this toy for my son, and he absolutely loves it. It's now his favorite, and it's perfect for on-the-go play!"

"After seeing these at a friend's house, my son couldn't stop talking about them. He told me, 'Mom, you did GOOD!' It’s a 10/10 purchase!"

"I found exactly what I needed. My 3-year-old nephew loved the lights and sounds from this train. Yes, the sounds are loud, but my nephew didn't mind, and that's what mattered. The product matched the pictures perfectly, and it’s become one of his favorite toys. I highly recommend this toy for any train enthusiast."

"This train is really nice for kids. The sound is fun for a while but can get a bit repetitive after some time. Ha ha!"

"This is one of the cutest trains! It lights up, blinks, plays music, and moves around. My grandson enjoyed it until it stopped moving. It was disappointing that one stopped working on Christmas, and the second one lasted just about a week. Considering the price, it feels like a short lifespan for such a toy. After contacting the seller, I received replacement trains quickly. They’re still too loud, but the kids like them. I might need to hide them for a bit due to the noise!"

"I purchased a toy bundle for my grandson, which included these little trains. He loved them, and so did my friend's grandson! There was even a little fuss when he wanted to keep them, so I promised to buy him a set too. I highly recommend them to family and friends!"

"My son is a huge fan of trains, and these were a massive hit! He takes them everywhere, and they’ve become a favorite toy."

"These trains looked great at first with plenty of detail and color. However, while the engine has a diecast base, the couplers are quite flimsy and can break easily. Until they improve the couplers, I’m hesitant to fully recommend them."

"This little train is awesome for kids! My 5-year-old absolutely loves it. Assembly was straightforward, but I recommend being careful with the instructions because some pieces can come off easily."

"I found this train set to be incredibly flexible. I can rearrange the track in countless ways, which keeps my son entertained. It's a fantastic value compared to more expensive toys!"

"We were really looking forward to this train set, but unfortunately, the trains don’t run. I’m disappointed since I wanted to enjoy it with my grandsons."

"I got this cute set for my son, and he absolutely loved it. It was a hit for Christmas!"

"I purchased the Thomas & Friends Toy Trains Toy Set for my three boys, ages 3, 5, and 6. It has been a huge hit in our house! They all enjoy playing with it together, and the 10-piece diecast vehicles are sturdy and perfect for little hands. The cargo pieces add an extra layer of excitement. As a family, we love Thomas, and this set captures the charm and joy of the series. I highly recommend it!"

"We got this for my son as a Christmas gift. He was so excited to see the colorful trains and couldn't wait to open one each day. They are very colorful and well made!"

"These train set accessories are a fantastic addition to my child's wooden train collection! They fit perfectly with other brands and add more variety to his playtime. Great for little train enthusiasts!"

"I'm really impressed with the quality and bright colors of these wood vehicles. They work on the Brio train tracks as advertised. The crane car is particularly handy with its ability to pick up cargo. Plus, the drawstring bag for storage is a nice touch!"

"As a Pre-K teacher, I'm always on the lookout for toys that can withstand some wear and tear. These vehicles are solid wood and the crane is the standout with its durable design and strong magnet. However, I found the compactor's design a bit tricky to maneuver."
