What is so interesting about the Fisher Price Geotrax Rail and Road System toy set? Well, just like any other Fisher Price toy, it was carefully designed to fit exactly your kid's needs and wants. For example, the Geotrax Grand Central Station covers the child's desire for play and adventure, but it also fulfills his need to explore new possibilities and put his imagination to good use. It is a fully functional miniature train station, and it's just lovely.
Let's have a cool, analytic approach to the subject. First, "play and adventure". With the features this toy has, your kid will want to play for hours at a time. Besides being equipped with a remote control, the Geotrax Rail and Road System Grand Central Station has: the train (named Aero), the railway, a loading dock with a functional crane to load and unload cargo, the main terminal building ( passengers Yvonne and Jared get there using the cool elevator and then wait for the train to come), a weigh station for the merchandise being transported, and a dynamic drop-down chute. Now you can imagine how much fun a kid can have with that many options. I remember when I grew up we didn't have access to any of these fancy toys. We were lucky if we had a rubber ball to play with. Well, maybe it wasn't so dramatic, but we sure didn't had toys remotely resembling this one.
The other aspect of the toy is that it's great for stimulating young brains. It's not an educational toy, but it could be quite helpful for parents who want to get their child used to thinking in detail and planning ahead. This is because the railroad parts are detachable and are made in such a way that they can be reassembled easily, giving the Geotrax Grand Central Station a fresh look every time. It is this kind of freedom of expression that is very important for preschool children if they are use their full potential when they grow up.
This toy set has experienced a great boost in popularity in 2009 and it is considered safe to predict that it will remain this way in 2010 too. This is why many parents choose to get their children the Fisher Price Geotrax Rail and Road System Grand Central Station. Of course, it shouldn't get into the hands of kids under 4 years of age, because there is the possibility they would try to eat Yvonne, Jared and Eric, the conductor.
