    Just read safety aspects on it and it seems there are magnets that can be swallowed
    Are these magnets easy to get off?

    We have a combination of ELC and Brio track, tunnels, bridges etc.

    I think it's good for them to use their imaginations making tracks rather than going for a pre-determined shape - can you do that with the one you are looking at?

    I am always a bit nervy about magnets tbh - I have some Magnetix for the older ones and they play in a different room and count the pieces out and back in the box again.

    We have brio / tesco's wooden train set too and when the children set it up they love to make a very complicated track using all the different/unusual pieces of track. I had thought of getting a table but I know one particular mindee would get very frustrated if he couldn't make the track the way he wanted because of lack of space on the table so we just clear a big space in the living room and they get on with it.

    Ikea do a great track set for £8 - it let me see for a very low price if the children would use it & how they would treat it my little ones love it
