what is the suggested age for this train set?

Grandson was 2 year 3 months when purchased and he loved it and best of all can put the train on the tracks and put the tracks together himself. Excellent quality on all Melissa and Doug products. He is bonkers about the tunnel and swivel bridge, buy it you will not regret your decision.

Two and up should be fine. The pieces fit together easily and the train is a good size for small hands. Good motor skill practice.

Don't know the manufacturer's suggestion, but my son has loved it from 2 to 3-1/2 so far!

I'm not sure what the manufacturer suggest but it is a little stiff for a small child play so I would say perhaps 4 yrs old. It has great sound.

No I think it would be fine with this particular train set only one piece is small enough to fit in a baby mouth, an I'm sure you wouldn't be leaving him alone with it anyway. It's does say three an up but at the most I say it would be safe with adult supervision. Hope this helps, my four year old is playing with his as I type. Pretty much none stop since Christmas. Happy New Year ;)

I don't know what the recommended age for this truck was but our granddaughter was about 2 when we bought it for her. She's now closer to 3 and still plays with it. There are no really small parts to worry about either.

We got the set for our 3 year old granddaughter. However she has two sisters ages 5 and 8 and all three of them play with the set and love it. So from our experience I would say it's age appropriate for 3 to 8 year olds, maybe older.

Theoretically, it should be fairly robust. However, depending if a six-year-old has a tendency to play rough with the train, I would recommend some fair level of supervision, especially when it comes to the locomotive (which has moving parts) and the tinder car (which has the batteries). Other than that, the train is safe to play with.

The box says it is recommended for ages 8+. I think they recommend it for this age because they need a bit more hand coordination. This set is better made than some others we have had in the past too. My daughter is 8 and absolutely loves this set. It allows for a lot of creativity.

The box says 9-14. Younger kids could do it if they have had experience building complicated sets. Otherwise, assistance will be needed.

Yes. There is an assortment of trains to choose from. Any of the Power Trains is recommended for kids 4-10.

It doesn't say but our son is 9 and he loves it. I would guess it is for 8+ and would definitely keep any age up to adult busy. We really like the quality of the set.

A 6 year old would probably be at the tail-end of playing with this set. I think their imagination would be going forward to something more interactive for that age. Would probably play with it at first out of curiosity, but don't see it lasting long as approaching 6 1/2 or 7.

There's really no age group to this train set; I bought this set when my baby was 5mos old, she play with it then (put parts in her mouth) and now, she is 10mos old and still plays with it. I think we'll have it till she is much older, like 3-4 years old. Honestly, I don't think it's truly entertaining for her right now since she only knows how to put things in her mouth, but I'm sure we'll get more use out of it when she learns how to turn it on and off.

The box says 9 to 14 years old, but an advanced(and mature) 6 to 8 yr old could do it with some help. My son is 12, but he would love this set at 16 yrs old too! Hope that helps, good luck.

I'd only be guessing, but 10 to 12 inches?! We purchased for a two year old. Really depends on your child's size, but they grow up, so it won't be too big for too long. Great little set.

As with all toys that have potentially removable parts (i.e. wheels, magnets, tops, etc.) I'm sure these are not recommended for children under 3. I bought them for my almost-4-year-old grandson. That said, his 1-year-old little brother insists on playing with anything big brother has, so, under supervision, both boys played together nicely with the train set. The pieces are painted wood, so shouldn't be chewed on, of course.
