Customer Rating:

Summary: This Product Needs Improvement
Comment: This train does not stay on its tracks well. The manufacturer needs to modify the track so that it holds the train in place better, especially around corners. Also, if the child shifts his/her butt from the center of the tiny seat, he/she will tip over along with the train off the tracks. The track is very small, so I suggest buying additional tracks to make the ride less circular.

Summary: Train Lover's Mom
Comment: Our 2yo son love's this train and rides it everyday. The train moves at a fun, quick pace. Be sure your child sits in the middle of the seat or the caboose "derails" easily. The track is somewhat "bumpy" compared to another train we had, but moves along steadily.All in all, a great buy and lots of fun.

Summary: 2 year old LOVES this train
Comment: We bought this for our granddaughter about a year ago when she was about a 1 1/2 years old as something to do at Grandma & Grandpa's house. She rides this EVERYTIME she comes over. She is now 2 1/2 and almost can put the track down without help. This is a great ride and we are glad we bought it!

Summary: Peg-Perego might be stretching themselves
Comment: My recommendation to Peg Perego is hire a new writer for your company's "Use and Care Manuals."

Some suggestions for the Santa Fe Train Set (model: IGED 1084) Manual's writer:
(1)Add the word "MULTIPLE" before the word "adult" in the statement, "Adult assembly required." [i.e., "Multiple Adult Assembly Required"] (2) Explain that the assembly plant will be providing Phillips screws that are LARGER THAN THE HOLES intended for the screws. (3) Although the writer does a fine job explaining the battery installation, it will be helpful to EXPLAIN HOW TO SECURE THE ENGINE'S WHEELS using the foot pedals. Go ahead and INCLUDE DIAGRAMS for this portion of assembly as you did in other parts of the manual.

Peg Perego's Primo Viaggio SIP Infant Seat was reviewed in 2006 (along with other infant seats) for its "Ease of Use." NOT SURPRISING that the only *B* rating they received was in the category of EVALUATION OF INSTRUCTIONS.

Peg Perego! YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!!!

P.S. When the Ft. Wayne customer service reps are not available by phone, I suggest *NOT* saying, "Due to an emergency, we cannot help you. Call Back"
P.P.S. Close to 3 weeks following delivery, this story has a happy ending. THE KIDS DO LIKE THE TRAIN! [sigh of relief!]

Editorial Reviews:

Choo-choo! Little engineers will love chugging around the oval track (included) or any smooth hard surface. Press the button and listen to the engine's whistle and other electronic train sounds. Lift up the lid of the "caboose" and stash a teddy or doll inside to enjoy the ride. Push-button on/off switch is easy to operate; maximum speed of 1.5 mph is safe for toddlers. Wiring, motor and gearbox are totally enclosed. Some adult assembly required. Adult supervision recommended. Requires a "6V" rechargeable battery and charger for train (included) and 2 "AA" batteries for sounds (not included). Train measures 53.5" x 15.75" x 18"; oval track measures 76" x 93" when set up. Holds up to 45 pounds.
