BRIO Pull Back Train Set

My son figured out the pull-back mechanism in about ten seconds and hasn't stopped sending the passenger around the station since. The fact that it runs on pure toddler energy means no battery hunting, which is a huge win for me.

The little station platform is just the right size for tiny hands to place the passengers on before giving the train a pull back. It zooms across the floor without needing any batteries, which my son loves.

My toddler figured out how to pull it back and let it go within minutes, which is great for short attention spans. The little passenger figures are cute, though I wish the track pieces clicked together a bit more firmly.
