Chuggington Interactive Toys?

[MummaBee]

Sorry no specific info on the chuggington range but thought I would let you know that the thomas the tank engine sets can all be different and its a pain in the Seriously why cant they make all the products the same to make it easier on the parents.
If you can..... try buying just the one cheapie and see if it works?

Thanks MummaBee ds doesn't have any Thomas but I had heard that they don't mix together either which is a pain! I was going to get one cheapie from on line but wanted to get a few things to save on postage I will call the manufacturer on Monday but wanted to know today (cause I'm impatient)

nope, they don't go together. Different track and train sizes.

Man that's so annoying! I had a look in store and of course they are in a packet so you can't hook them up to see anyway. But if they are a different track then I guess there's no point hooking up a diecast cart to an interactive engine anyway. Far out I'm now obsessed with the interactive Chuggington stuff lol. I know I'm more excited about it then my ds is as he's too little to play with it all yet. I've found out that they are not going to be making it any more and are moving into the wooden rail set and I've found heaps of other groovy engines over seas and rail stations. Wish they had them in Australia too, they are a bit pricey.

We have the interactive ones.. DS got 2 sets for his birthday (he was 2).. And the trains on this will outlast the younger Thomas ones when it comes to interest. Thomas will always have the Thomas factor, but these trains do more.

DH wants to get a really good Thomas set when DS is older and looks after things a bit better, but just quietly, I prefer Chuggington..

Chuggington is way better! Much more colourful and fun and has so much more energy in it. ds is only little so doesn't watch that much tv but I think he's only even seen Thomas once or twice. my dh likes Chuggington much better too so there will be arguments in our house. I also got ds a Chuggington doona cover when he was 8 months old We co sleep but we bought a good double bed for his room so the doona cover is on that. Did your ds play with it ok when he was 2 or do you think they really need to wait until they are 3? I dont' want ds to wreck it iykwim. I expect damage but not destruction lol

We've got the interactive and just hate the track! It doesn't stay together properly and the higher up parts don't stay on the support posts very well. And the trains don't seem to talk to each other as much as they did at first.
