Thomas & Friends Engine Ride On, Blue and Red, 2 years

Product Information

If you have more than one kid, it’s important to caution the other child (who might be lying on the floor while the other one is on the ride-on train) against placing any fingers, toes near the riding train’s wheels. Young ones can use this train during floor play, and when they grow up they can use it for ride-on fun.

While these are designed keeping safety in mind, as parents, it’s best that you oversee your child when they are playing with riding train toys. The first is brand. Looking at the brand of the product is often a really good indicator for judging product quality. For example you’d expect a much higher quality product from a brand known for providing excellent quality than you would from an unknown or even a budget brand. Just before we get into the detail of analysing the price of this product, we want to briefly highlight the importance of setting yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a suitable product. It’s all too often that we get carried away when shopping and find ourselves buying a fantastic product, but probably actually overdelivers on what we need and therefore costs a lot more than we should have spent. So spend a bit of time looking around at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products in the Electric ride-ons category and use that alongside your own financial situation to set yourself a budget. The next step for us was to look at all of the products that fall within the Electric ride-ons category, of which we found 43 products at Argos. So we pulled together all of the prices of these products to analyse the average prices as well as finding the cheapest and most expensive options.This is the maximum rider weight that your product can support. We strongly recommend abiding by this for safety and warranty reasons. More information on quality can be found in this old but still very helpful article from Harvard Business Review. As you can imagine, pricing is one of the most important factors of any purchasing decision. We can find the perfect product for our needs, that fits the brief in every single way. But if it doesn’t fit our budgets, we simply can’t (or at least shouldn’t) buy it.

The next step was to try and narrow down our search even more. So we’ve already looked the prices of products in the Electric ride-ons category. Then we’ve also looked at the prices of products from Thomas & Friends. So this step combines the two and looks specifically at the price you’d expect to pay for Thomas & Friends branded products in the Electric ride-ons category. The easy grip steering wheel with responsive movement and fun squeaker feature make this product perfect for beginners. Under seat storage means your little ones can carry all their favourite toys with them wherever they go. The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully Thomas & Friends is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the Electric ride-ons category.

A ride-on (Riding) train is another type of riding toy for kids that can provide them with hours of fun. This is a battery powered ride-on train, and the max speed of the train does not exceed 1 mph. It comes bundled with a rechargeable battery and a charger (6V). To keep your kids safe, make sure you adhere to manufacturer’s age guidelines and supervise kids closely during use.
