How to choose a children's railway

According to the material, such educational toys are divided into 3 types:

• Plastic. Often the cheapest, not too strong, but bright and light, all parts fit well.
• Wooden. The material is environmentally friendly, safe for the little ones. Parts are attached with a magnet. Wooden elements must be well sanded so that the child does not plant a splinter.
• Metal. Sturdy railroads, but difficult to build and often very expensive. Collectible models are produced from such material. It is better to buy a metal toy for a child older than 6-8 years.

The complete set of the railway depends on the set:

• Base. Rails, locomotive, additional wagons different type. Perhaps the presence of arrows for the divergence of paths, dead ends. Some manufacturers even put animals, little men, landscape elements - houses, trees in such a starter kit.
• Extended. Complemented with tunnels, station stations, barriers, supports for multi-level arrangement of tracks. The more these details, the more exciting the game, but they are interesting for children over 3-4 years old.

Important Features

• Control type. Toddlers 2-3 years old will roll the train with their hands or watch how it moves itself from batteries. The children's railway on the remote control is suitable for a child over 4-5 years old when he can figure out the device.
• Rail length. The more, the longer the train rides and this is more interesting, but it is difficult to fit a structure of 3-5 meters in a small apartment.
• Part sizes. When buying a railway for a child of 2-3 years old, it is better to choose a toy with large elements, so there is less risk that the baby will try to swallow them and choke.
• Material quality. It is important to study the joints so that there are no gaps and irregularities during the connection, they will interfere with the smooth running of the composition and can lead to breakage of the toy.
• Functions. The change of train speeds, the possibility of reverse gear add variety to the game.

Radio-controlled and battery-operated models without a remote control may have additional effects that add realism:

• Sound- imitation of the sound of wheels, horn, braking of a stop crane.
• Light- some trains have headlights or windows on.
• Smoke- oil is poured into a special compartment, evaporating during the movement of the train. This function is undesirable if the toy is purchased by a child under 4-5 years old.
