Is it easy to put the train back up after going down? Or will parents need to re-set the train each time after going down.

It's pretty easy by pushing the train backup the track to the top. Our 2 year old could do it

My three year old grandson loves to pull the train back to the "station" almost as much as riding it down!

I'm not sure...I purchased this for my son a month ago as a gift for Christmas gift.

definitely, batteries may be replaced. there is an instruction sheet included. if none, just unscrewthe screws in the bottom of the train and then replace with same one.

Only use it occasionally, when my grandchildren visit. It is a safety issue and is illegal to sell drop down cribs anymore. You can adjust the height of the mattress up or down depending on the age & size of the child.d

There is a lever under the seat, hit it and up it goes. The kids love it. However, to lower it back down requires a full-sized adult to sit on it while depressing the lever.

I have to disagree. The train is very loud. It is either on or off, no volume control. I don't think that it takes away from how much the kids love it, but it would be hard to hold a conversation for very long with this thing blasting in the same room.

Yes although would be better if you had someone would make it easier. Me and my husband went and he had to put it up himself while I watched our 2 year old.

Pull down ? YES! My toddler loves to and thinks it is so funny. Hurt himself? Mine has not yet! We take it down when he is around.

They can be pushed around without any trouble. Most of the trains use one "AA" battery or one "C" battery. The battery life holds up pretty good, unless the train gets left own or stuck somewhere for awhile. Our son is three and has other train sets, the Trackmaster is his favorite!

yes, real easy and it has a built in brake so you can pull it up a little at time and it will not come back down until you release the brake

That was a concern of ours also. After the first time it takes only minutes to put it back up so if we are near the brach or in an open area with wind we drop it and bring our awing in. This also happens if we are in a State Park and need to dump since no sewer hook up. One more thong, we are in a Class C. There is ample side wall that we put under our outdoor carpet. If you are in a 5th wheel you would mot hv this and you would need a ladder to put it up and take it down. The plus side is in a 5th wheel the ceiling (awning) is so high and spacious! We are not on a permanent site. Wind, yes we do take precaution like you would with your awning. If we are in a protected spot or winds less than 20mph we let it up.

No. You have to get back to the starting point which of course is much higher than then ending point. For the kids, I seat them first at the ending point and pull them backwards to the starting point. That is much easier and safer than having them climb a ladder.

Yes, very easily. And, not all of the cars are motorized. My grandson just turned 2. He couldn't stop playing with this. The ramp was too difficult for him, though. The train goes up the ramp, but you turn a crank to help it up. He'll have to wait until he's older. We liked this so much that we then bought extra track and the fire station set. My grandson loves this product. I hope this is helpful to you.

I don't know about trains going by but I wouldn't say it is too sensitive. Our two young boys can slam the back door and not set it off on the window. Hope that helps.

I would say that they stay on the track about as well as other trains this size. I've found that some of the problem is created because the person "driving" the train is only 3 - 3.5 years old and their hands are not as steady as a much older child or an adult. I have noticed that one of my grandsons has experienced less frustration with trains "falling" off the track as he has gotten older and his hands are more steady. Hope this helps.

We had the same problem but assumed it was our problem. The instructions tell yo u to put the drops in before you start the train. I'm interested to hear if you find out that is a flaw. I would never return this train as grandson runs it two to three times a week, but would exchange engine. Let me know.

This station has a gate (not a bumper) that can be raised and lowered. A train can go through it provided the gate is up. The gate clicks into both the up and down position.
