Our toddler really loves playing with this wooden dinosaur train set and we love it too! It keeps our toddler occupied for a while and overall it’s a really nice set with only a few minor issues. Starting with the good, the set comes in a self contained box, the box pieces actually turn into a part of the track which is really cool. The set is moderately challenging to build so it is a good challenge. The wooden pieces are all nice quality, painted well, look great, the dinosaur toys move well. The train prices are great and magnetically attach together which is fun.The cons I noticed are most of the pieces don’t slot together that well there is a bit of wobble when put together, they should be more snug. Also the clips holding the box together are thin and one already broke after just a week and the piece that fell off was small which can be a hazard to a small child so beware. Other than that it’s a really great and fun set.

We already own several train sets from SainSmart Jr., and I absolutely love expanding our setup with themed additions like this unicorn/princess set. We even have other toys from SainSmart Jr, not just train sets.We currently have the town playset accessories, a full track set, a train station with a conveyor belt, the Christmas themed train set, construction train set, a wooden log cabin building set, some accessory sets and now this dinosaur themed train set (which is definitely a favorite, it’s really cool), so we’ve built quite the train empire.It’s got solid wooden train tracks with a great variety of pieces to create a large dinosaur world layout. This set has really cool features that even I find fun. There’s so much fun play to be had with this and so many ways to play and be creative. You can create so many scenarios and dino themed worlds, I can even bring other sets into this such as our Melissa and Doug Dino blockables to expand the possibilities.It includes a T-Rex bridge, block pieces to hold the train tracks up, rocks, scenery pieces, trees, signs, people, and even a magnetic dino crane that can pick up the magnetic blocks. There’s dino themed train pieces and actual dino characters. Some of the characters are magnetic like the pterodactyl, it can pick up the magnetic blocks and ‘fly’ with them. It’s got larger dinos too that have movable parts which is one of the coolest features besides the crane.One of the best features though, is that it comes in a storage container that can be utilized with the tracks! The top has train tracks built in that you can connect the wooden tracks to, the dino crane goes on top of the green lid and if you flip over the bottom piece it has tracks on it like the top does. I LOVE that the storage box can literally be used in play with the tracks because that makes it so versatile and not just a regular box. Then when you’re done, put the pieces inside and it’s storage! Only thing to note about the storage box is that the locks on the side aren’t very secure. They come off extremely easy, not tight at all. I wish they were more secure so the top didn’t come off so easily.Because I already have so many SainSmart Jr. wooden playsets, this set works perfectly alongside the others. It does also work with other train sets that aren’t SainSmart, like Tiny Land. SainSmart Jr. seems to be a high quality brand with well made, durable tracks that are fully compatible with other wooden train brands we own.This set really encourages imaginative play and adds so much variety to our train setups. If you already love wooden train sets, this is a really awesome set to add into the mix!

My toddlers have been enjoying wooden trains lately, and they love dinosaurs, so when I saw this dino-themed wooden train set, I knew it would be a huge hit!The set comes packed in a plastic storage box, which serves as a travel case, and also integrates with the train track when playing. Talk about a useful little box! Everything is packed in very tightly, and getting it all back in the box is a real challenge, but you don't really need everything to fit perfectly, there's quite a bit of storage space, and you can include a good assortment of trains and track pieces without too much effort. You could also bring along a second box or bag if you needed more wooden train for travel.The pieces are durable, well made, and compatible with other popular wooden train sets. I won't name brands or anything, but if you already have the standard wooden trains, these are likely to work as they've been matching one another for decades. In our case, we have an odd collection of at least three brands, and they all work with this set.The trains are super-cute, with the dinosaur theme. There are some wooden play pieces that little imaginations are sure to love, providing something other than a track for the dino-train to do. There are some non-train dinosaurs too.Overall, this is a great wooden trainset for little ones that love trains, dinosaurs, or both. The travel case is a nice bonus, either to store and carry the set, or to use as more train track. Good value for the cost. Highly recommend!

This is a massive set of train pieces. It has dozens of track pieces, a fun drawbridge-type bridge, and involves dinosaurs (which are very cool - and dinos + trains = more cool too).The pieces seem well-made overall. There are no burrs or rough edges that I found and the machining seems very even. The only complaint I have is that some of the connectors are plastic ends (you can see in the picture). It does just seem to be that one type of connector though (the Y-shape one) - the straight or curved pieces just have regular ends built into the track (I prefer that, since the plastic ones generally seem the first parts to fail).This complaint is balanced out by how many pieces it has and that overall everything seems excellent quality (even the painting on the dinosaurs is even and has good detail).I also really like that it comes with a plastic carrying case (which is reasonably sturdy, though it won't win any awards for that) and that the case pieces (both the top and bottom once flipped) integrate into the track (posing as hills). The case also has plentiful storage, so you don't have to tetris everything in to get it to close (which is very important for kids helping clean up, since they're not the most patient nor careful).All in all it's a great set that will provide quite a lot of fun and should last very well.

Well, howdy partner! If you’ve got a couple of lively little buckaroos tearing up the homestead, this SainSmart Jr. Dinosaur Train Set is just the ticket to keep 'em corralled and entertained for hours on end.First off, this ain't some flimsy pine scrap swept up off the sawmill floor. This set is carved out of solid beech wood - tougher than a pair of rawhide boots and built to survive a wild stampede of toddlers without cracking a single timber. Every track curve is smooth as a polished saddle with rounded edges, and the non-toxic water-based stain means it completely passes muster with parent-approved safety standards. You can let your greenhorns play without a lick of worry.The real showstopper, though, is the 73-piece Jurassic rodeo inside. You get eight detailed dinosaur figures - from a fierce T-Rex to a heavy-set Stegosaurus - living alongside a proper wooden railway system. My young'uns went wild over the bursting bridge; when that dinosaur head smashes into the track, the whole bridge splits open like a runaway chuckwagon! Toss in a working cargo crane to hoist supplies, and your living room rug instantly transforms into a grand prehistoric frontier.What really won this old trail boss over is the clever 2-in-1 storage box. That sturdy crate isn't just for tidying up at sundown; it hitches directly to the track itself so the kids can build their railway right over top of it. It teaches the little folks good organizational habits and how to pack away their gear without me having to holler once.To top it all off, these tracks hitch up perfectly with our old train cars from other sets like horses sharing the same barn. If you’re hunting for a top-tier birthday or holiday gift for any cowgirl or cowboy aged three to seven, don't stall your wagon. This set is worth every red cent!
