How small are the pieces? Not sure whether the actual tracks & trains would be choking hazards for a 19-mo old - we wouldn't use the other pieces.

I bought this table a couple of years ago so I'm not sure if it came with train pieces or not. My nephews had their own tracks and Thomas trains. Sorry couldn't be more helpful.

the track and trains are too large to swallow. There are others accessories that you would need to remove from the baby's reach that are smaller.

They are quite likely manipulable by a 2yo, but there are smaller pieces, and the warning on the set is "not for children under 3" and the bucket is recommended for 5+ (got them for our 7yo, but our 4yo whizzed through them.) If you have an "eater" or your child explores the world by taste... then absolutely not. Otherwise, it's counter to mfg recommendation.

I don't know of any small parts either. I have bought 3 of these. One for my house and two for my grandchildren to have at their house. They were probably about 3 when they first used it. I am thinking of buying another one for my other grandchild who is 2 years old. It is all one piece and I can't think of anything that would be dangerous. The kids love them.

No, all the peices are quite large. The smallest pieces are the "toppings" and they are larger than anything that would be a choking hazard.

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.

They don't really fit on the track too well- my toddler is a little crazy so it drives him nuts- I'd get the wooden toys to be safe with the wooden tracks

I have the 123 set for my 3 year old son and would not consider buying regular because the pieces are much smaller and easily pose a choking hazard for young children. Also the 123 comes with less accessories altogether and more chunky ergonomic parts which makes looking for toys and cleanup easier.

I am not sure what age recommendation was on the box. We bought it for our 3 year old son and he loves it. You need to put it together for your child but my son likes to build his own simple tracks with it. I see older kids playing with it as well. My husband really enjoys it as well. I will not recommend this train for kids less then 3. Overall we really love it! My husband bought some extra tracks and another train, connected them together. Lots of fun!

well, it'a while since we used it - i think you probably could - as i remember you could make it smaller or larger -the train i forget totally - my grandson liked it a lot - he's autistic but sat down & put it together in a matter of minutes - sorry i can't be of more help -your idea sounds great!i good luck

My son has been playing with these since about 18 months old. He hasn't had a problem. I just took out a lid that goes on top of one of the train cars as a precaution. That was my only concern.

I think the 3 yr old will be too small and unsteady to play this game. It's a lot of fun but even adults have trouble making the connections of the pieces. Start the 6 yr old slowly without keeping any type of score.

I bought it for my daughter who just turned 3. She is a gentle kid who, despite playing quite delicately, broke a few small, plastic features (like the head off of the shower), etc. within 24 hours of owning the set. The pieces are exceptionally small and fragile. Additionally if your child is in a phase of putting things in their mouth, I would say "definitely not" good for a 2-3 year old. Probably better for 3 1/2 - 4 year olds.

My Daughter is turning 2 in July and I got these a couple months ago when she was about 21 months old. She loves them and I don't see any sharp parts or danger. I guess someone could bite the wheels off and there is the usual under 3 warnings, but other than that there are no problems I can see. She doesn't put things into her mouth, so I guess we are safe there and if your little guy still does there may be a choking possibility. I have a track set coming in a couple days, too.

No. The pieces are really tiny, there are many of them and it's a really small model. My 9 year old grandson was a bit overwhelmed by the tiny, tiny size. Would not recommend for a 7 year old

My son is 2 1/2 years old and has no issues with pushing the button to release the cars or with knowing how the cars go down the tracks. I would say any child 2 y/o and beyond will be able to enjoy it. the product is surely safe for the recommended 18 months and beyond. Just keep in mind that those that are younger then 18 months will more then likely have vertical stability issues as they are still learning how to keep upright while performing other tasks that require many adjustments to their positions.

I am really not sure. We had gotten this train set for our 11 year old last Christmas, and it proved to be something for someone much older who could really put train together and maybe leave set up as a hobby room. It is a beautiful set, but if something is unlevel, it comes off track easily, so we had to just put the set away. I suggest you call the manufacturer about your particular question. Again, it is a very lovely (if you can describe a train set in that manner) train set, and if the answer is yes to your question from someone who knows, I think it would be something an adult would really enjoy. hope this helps you!

I got them for my 2 year old for his birthday. I don't think any are small enough to be choking hazards. Most are 4 inches (approx) long.
