How We Selected the Best Train Sets for Kids A quality train set can cost anywhere from $24 to $370, so it’s important to consider your budget when picking a train set, too. To develop our list of recommended train sets, we consulted with Nicole Clelland, LMFT, RPT, and Willie Johnson, supervising engineer at Irvine Park Railroad, and reviewed dozens of train sets available on the market. They should also consider the features a train set may have, such as a remote control or a variety of accessories, and whether the train requires batteries or electricity to run. When choosing a train set, caregivers should pay attention to the manufacturer’s age recommendation as some trains (such as model trains) are meant for older kids. “ children are able to figure out how to set up tracks, which side of the magnetic trains match, and practice thinking about possibilities before making a choice.” “Playing with trains helps children with emotional regulation, creativity, and future planning,” says Nicole Clelland, a licensed marriage and family therapist and registered play therapist.
We also like the VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels Train Station Playset because it’s meant for children as young as one year and has lots of playful, interactive features.
Our top pick is the Orbrium Toys Deluxe Wooden Train Set because it has nine different track configurations, and its box doubles as a tunnel for the train.
