Huggies Play Train


On Friday, I redeemed this Play Train for free from Huggies. Thankfully I read the form carefully & clarified with customer service, and kept the entire polybags and not just assumed they needed the cut out of the little "points stamp" on the bag.

It's very light,easy to set up, just the right size for him. The design is good in that it has a lot of ventilation points at the entry, exit, with windows at the front, left and right and with the roof partly covered with netting and partly uncovered at the centre. In our weather this is an important factor. It didnt feel hot at all inside the train.

He loves it. Very bright and attractive.

So far he's played with it in the following ways:
- Crawls in and out of the proper entry and exit places

- Tried to enter through the window, then got stuck, and went around the hall with it hanging on his shoulders like it was his halloween costume! Very funny sight!

- plays peekaboo,

- drops bean bags into it through the top (helper got him to do that in order to stretch his muscles)

- tried to throw bean bags out of it while he's seated on the ground inside the train. That's good exercise too as he has to aim the bean bags at the window and also to stretch upwards. Good for hand strengthening as he has to grip the bean bags. He couldn't throw it high enough and/or not aimed properly. He was very frustrated and ended up dropping it out of the driver's front window. He has to still work on his reflexes and motor planning.

- noticed that on 3 of the sides of the train, there were repeated patterns (the birds) but it was different on the 4th side of the train.

The redemption period is until end of the year so you still have time to buy the diapers & redeeem the gift. I redeemed it at their office & they still had lots of stock.

I tried searching the Huggies website for a downloadable form to share with other readers, but couldn't find it. If you're interested, perhaps you could call the Customer Care Line. The lady who answered was very polite. Its toll free: 1-800-82-1188
